Dining Room Table Help!

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

I need help figuring out what stain/color to do our dining room table. We have wood floors with wood colored cabinets. We want to do a six foot rectangular table with one bench and then cloth covered chairs. Struggling with light versus dark wood that won’t clash with the floors and cabinets.

You have a lot of wood's finishing here! If I have to choose from the picture suggested by you, I select the last one, with the darker wood. This to create a contrast with the other two kind of wood.

Thanks! I'm toying with the idea of having the cabinets painted white to brighten up the space. If that were the case, would you still suggest the darker wood table?
