Keep the threshold visible
The table sits to the right of the open doors, with a strip of floor leading outside. Seeing that threshold from the room makes the court feel close without furnishing the route through it.

An illustrated concept for Barcelona courtyard dining room.
A round mango-wood table sits just inside the courtyard doors, with green leather seats and cane backs around it. Terracotta continues across the threshold, making the small outdoor space part of the view from lunch.
See the product sourcesAn open courtyard door is a generous thing to have beside a table, even when the view ends at the next wall. In this Barcelona dining-room concept, terracotta tiles continue outside and a potted tree gives the small court a focus. Indoors, a round mango-wood table keeps the four places gathered around one centre. The cane chair backs let light through, while their dark green seats echo the planting. A single oval pendant hangs above the tabletop, leaving the doorway clear. The arrangement would suit everyday meals with the option of two more people pulling up.

Echo the garden in the chairs
Green leather seats repeat a colour already present in the planting. Cane backs and slim black frames keep the chairs visually open around the substantial wooden table and its low braces.
What to borrow
In a dining room beside a small court, preserve a direct view and route to the doors. A round table can gather the chairs neatly, but check its actual base and leg positions as well as the diameter.
