Bistro tables create an atmosphere of style and sophistication. Interestingly, they also create an atmosphere of coziness at the same time. These differing descriptions may be because the term "bistro" is thought of as a French term. People generally think of sophistication when they think of anything French. Additionally, the bistro is a small and relaxed eatery conducive to intimacy and warmth.

When savvy consumers want to decorate their homes, many choose bistro tables and matching chairs for their informal dining areas. The bistro set is unique and stylish, creating a lasting impression on the visitor. And since they're not part and parcel of the average American home, a bistro set is something people want to "experience." They can't wait to sit down and pretend they're in a cozy French eatery somewhere in France.

A fun way of decorating with bistro tables is making the room into a French restaurant or bar. This creates an instant European atmosphere, which is fun in and of itself. If you've yearned to travel to France or French inspired places, you can have your slice of France every day in your home. Place a basket of baguettes and play some French music in the background, and voila! You're in France!

Also, a bistro set is a wise choice for those who live in small apartments or who have a small eating space. Since bistro tables are much smaller than the average dining room table, and since people in small apartments don't entertain large crowds, this set is the perfect fit for tiny spaces. With this set, people don't need to compromise on style because of a lack of space.

Bistro tables also lend themselves to romance. The size of the small bistro table top encourages intimacy, with the subtle hint of France and the "City of Love" stirred in. Because of this, "date nights" can be held at home, saving much needed money during these uncertain economic times. All couples have to do is decorate their bistro in a romantic theme, dim the lights, and let the magic take over.

Bistro tables are also known as bar tables or pub tables; each one has a high table and usually two matching chairs. They aren't just for indoors, either; they can be made with weather resistant materials and can be placed outdoors. Such bistro tables can make fashionable and unique patio tables.

The materials used to make these tables vary as widely as your decor needs. Choose from wood, wrought iron, or sculpted materials to coincide with your tastes. Table tops are made in the same material or can be different, such as glass or a heavily woven wicker.

Glass top bistro tables are great if the frame of the bistro set is sculpted into a beautiful art form. Also, some of the wrought iron frames are made into incredible scroll work. A glass table top will let you enjoy the artistry while sitting or standing around the table.

Bistro tables can also be used in a bar or game room. People would probably be more inclined to call them pub tables if that is the case. When entertaining in an attractive and functional bar or game room, pub tables would be mixed in with a large seating area. The entertainment area, featuring a wide screen TV, would be the focus of the large seating area. Conversation and snacking would be the focus of the pub tables.

When you make a bistro set part of your home decor, you're sure to find functionality and style at the same time. Your guests will be impressed with your modern approach to decoration, without your sacrifice of comfort. Just keep an eye out for the bistro tables or pub tables to match your decor and room's theme, and you can't go wrong.
