Add contrast. I simply adore the idea of this live-edge table combined with the wiry, transparent nature of the table base and chairs. A superb example of using the juxtaposition of two design elements to one's advantage.
Embrace repurposed wood. While this table is a beautiful single piece, it does show the beauty in a large slab of wood to balance a room's look. Repurposed wood of excellent quality can be found through several resources, and can become any part of a house, from a bookshelf to complete flooring.

First hunk of heavy wood that works for me. Bravo! It floats - brilliant. I'm a city girl displaced in the Pacific Northwest. Too many trees - to bring them indoors overwhelms my sense of longing for concrete, glass and steel, not to mention rich textiles. This ensemble is how I wish remember the forest.
