is this table all wrong?

10 years ago
so our dining table arrived today and I think it looks awful and all wrong for the space. to me, it looks pink ... almost salmon. In the picture you can see I slide over the old coffee table which is a normal looking good wood color a d now this atrocity. either my eyes fell out of my head when I purchased it or the lighting makes it look all wrong in the room. anyone have thoughts dors it look as bad as I think it does? why didn't I just order a normal reclaimed wood table??? I've agreed to give it a couple days before it goes back to the store but wanted some feedback. it seems all wrong get for the space.

    I actually don't dislike it, I think if you add a rug to ground it, it could work. it's too close to your flooring color and doesn't look balanced with your dark sofa. Maybe add a print with some color from the rug it could work, also sidenote I think your fixture could be lowered

    I like the table and the chairs. Very nice space! Where are the chairs from? A rug with color should help take away the pink hue you are seeing.

    I would add a thick, nubby sisal rug under the table in the same or slightly lighter shade than your drape (is it charcoal?). I would not add a patterned rug here. The texture of the sisal would be enough. (That, or, I would stain the table a darker color to a close match of your sofa and not use a rug.) Either way, you have a beautiful room here :)

    I like the table itself very much. Although I understand that its salmon color is different from any other piiece in the room. I would therefore try to change the light bulb in order to influence the overall table color (i would even put a pendant instead with stright light direction what would make a table top lighter). The second thing I would try to put long narrow covering in the middle of the table in wall color, fullfilled with dark (sofa) decoration in order to unify table top with other room materials.

    Everything works, but room would benefit from some color and pattern.

    I like the whole look, the table and chairs look great together. If you do not like it though I would say take it back but before you do play with different lighting. Remember different light bulbs (reg or LED) can change a look.

    thank you all for your feedback and suggestions. I will be putting a sisal rug there. not because I don't like the other suggestions but because the previous owner put an over the top backsplash (see picture) I will add color as soon as I get the furniture right but don't want to add more patterns to the space until the backsplash gets changed. it feels like there is ALOT of furniture in the space ... what do you think of putting in a simple round glass table with sleeker chairs? I will be putting a glass table in the living area as well so it doesn't feel so bulky.
