Keep the table small on purpose
The timber block occupies very little of the space between the chairs. Its top holds a cup and slim book; a second small surface would be useful if both seats regularly need somewhere for drinks.

An illustrated concept for New England clapboard-house sunroom.
Two pale-cushioned teak chairs face each other in this New England sunroom concept. Blue paneling and white window trim leave the garden in view, with a little timber block between the seats.
See the product sourcesThe little table has room for a mug and a book. Anything more ambitious can stay in the next room. Two teak chairs face each other across that small landing place, their pale cushions sitting against blue paneling and broad white window trim. Red stripes give the textiles a bit of life without requiring much decoration elsewhere. The low cabinet follows the return wall, leaving the main windows clear. With the chairs turned inward, the room works for conversation as readily as for another chapter.

Carry the blue through the cabinet
The low cupboard follows the same blue as the paneled walls. White trim gives the windows their edges, while the furniture stays low enough for the garden to remain visible above the chair backs.
What to borrow
A sunroom does not need a full living-room set to be useful. Start with the seats you will actually use and a reachable place for a drink, then check what the chair backs hide from the doorway.
