You could go wider but it depends on what type of dining furniture would want to use and how many you will be catering for. Bench seating tucks underneath and when it is being used you aren't so worried about the other space. You could always turn it around the other way [ perpendicular to the house] so the width is less of an issue as 10 metres is a decent length deck. I think even an extra 30cm would make a difference and not doing it may cost more in regret than the materials. You could go wider in the dining area only but it is a bit hard to judge without seeing the space. Find some furniture you like online and map out a plan for yourself - use newspaper for life size modelling. Good luck

Hi Jeanine, Living room looks stunning, just a few inspiration photos for you, you could free up a little more space and have a table that fits along your balcony rail which looks so very stylish, your friends will love eating and admiring the view, add some fab stools, you could even add a small seati, ng area, lots of greenery, I love lightweight white pots, would look gorgeous as an extension to you beautiful room, an outdoor rug could look great also.

Mimosa has a similar product. Without knowing the actual furniture manufacturer, mimosa may be a good alternative.
