Monochrome black table
For an easy and simple dining table, try this black and white design from IKEA.
It features a black rectangular, four-legged table with a matte finish and white molded plastic chairs with silver metallic legs.
Although the table looks ordinary, don’t be fooled because it is also extendable, making it ideal for cramped spaces.
Pedestal table set
This is an unconventional table with a single round column instead of legs.
It is a creamy white color and comes with four chairs of the same construction.
Add a faux plant as a centerpiece to make the final look appear clean and modern.
Grey metal
Grey metal has an industrial and contemporary appeal, so it works well in all-white dining rooms.
Achieve this aesthetic by placing a dark grey marbled table top with crossed legs in the center.
The surrounding chairs should be in a light grey ladder design.
Finally, contrast the elements by purchasing the table in a round shape, while the chairs in a boxy one.
Slim and tapered legs
If you want the perfect fusion of rustic and modern, try this round pine table set with slim, tapered legs.
Its light color and simplicity give the space a minimalistic look.
On the chairs, opt for a woven lattice design to add extra charm.
Tropical jungle look
Wicker weaves made from thin natural material like bamboo will incorporate texture, complexity, and visual appeal to a plain white dining table.
In line with the jungle aesthetic, dress up your dining table area with wild plants like fiddle leaf fig and monstera.
Festive theme
For special occasions and festive holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, go all out with furniture weaving.
Have a long, plain wood table with woven placemats and trays.
The chairs should have lattice weaves and black metallic legs.
Also, to help set the mood, place yellow candles at the center of the set.
Cozy table runner
Don’t underestimate table runners because they can easily transform your dining table.
Also, switching them up is a simple task.
This table runner with a colorful floral design adds a homey feel to a plain wood table with black chairs and makes the space cozy.
Scandinavian style
A Scandinavian style idea embodies a light natural wood table and chairs with clean, straight lines.
This dining set is compact, making it perfect for small dining areas.
The oak wood is well complemented with mesh net seats and a light, airy space with a touch of art.
Warm notes
To infuse warmth into your dining room, go with a light ahs-brown wood table with a smooth, polished white surface.
The chairs should also mimic the flat white surface and have a slightly curved back with wooden legs.
Finally, decorate the table with a pink flower bouquet and a woven tray.
Birchwood
This charming IKEA dining set features silver birchwood as the main material for its long table.
At the center is a glass inlay for an unexpected stylish finish, as well as white potted flowers.
The chairs have birch wood legs with soft white cushions and backrests.
Slant back chairs
Although typically reserved for outdoor settings like lawns, you can install a wooden dining table with slanted back chairs in your house.
This rustic look highlights a foldable reddish cherry wood table with an outlet for extra storage and four similar chairs.
Spread out legs
A subtle way of creating an illusion of a bigger dining table set, even if it is small, is by getting a spread-out leg design.
This one has wooden legs for the white table and cushions that pass the circumference.
Spread-out legs also allow chair occupants to have more legroom when sitting.
Nested dining table
A nested table is guaranteed to wow all your dining guests because of how chic and modern it looks.
This design doesn’t take up much floor space and is very chic in mahogany wood.
For the legs, go with a gold finish to enhance the rich dark brown tones.
Foldable set
For the most space-saving dining table design, go for foldable chairs and tables.
This IKEA set has a white two-seater kitchen table and four foldable chairs that resemble beach chairs.
Overhead, it has a floating storage shelf unit in black to store utensils, cups, and glasses.
Black and bold
Here is a dark and masculine dining table that will appeal to those looking for a bold and edgy design.
It has a medium-tone walnut wood finish and black H-frame legs.
The chairs are similar and have spindle-style backs and black cushions.
Two of the six chairs are, however, plastic.
Mismatched chairs
Want something quirky and unique?
This idea is perfect for you.
It features two light wood chairs with rattan weaving, one black slanted chair, and two regular ones.
To tie in the different chair designs, it has a wooden tabletop with black stretcher legs, rustic table mats, and a flower arrangement.
Farmhouse-style
A classic farmhouse-style dining table is timeless, so go for a light pine wood table with matching chairs in a pale yellow hue.
On the chairs, have a traditional stretched leg design and keep the table as simple as it can be.
To decorate, strategically place a tall plant in a rural woven basket pot nearby.
