Can you share a photo of the room you are trying to furnish? Facebook Marketplace is a great place to get dining tables and sideboards —

Go dark rich browns with your paint. Go heavy ornate table--yes to shopping for all the old cast off diningroom sets THEY ARE BACK!!

Yes, please show the room, as well as an example of your decor style(s) … such as the living room.

Tons of possibilities; more info would help narrow things down.

Is there lighting you’re keeping in the room?

Is the kitchen directly adjoining this room? Is it open concept? Are there windows?

In order to give relevant advice, could you provide more details and show a picture of dining room, as its size and configuration are important in suggesting a shape and size of table.

You mentioned you would like elegant. Seeing your living room would help narrow down style suggestions and colors, for rug as well. The dining room overall has to suit your home (chairs are flexible enough to head in a few directions). Based on chair legs alone, I’d go with a lighter, elegant but non formal look, if it suits your home. Choose rug last and consider a non matching side board, which will open up more options and price choices, even second hand (paint if needed). I think it’s important to look for on line inspiration, to at least have a direction and making decidions will be easier and the look coordinated.

Painted would feel like this.

Based on the upholstery and the wall color I would have suggested a dark wood, but the chair legs are light. I don't think a dark table will look right when the chair legs are light.

The casual finish on the legs of your chairs doesn't lean 'elegant. It leans 'casual modern'/ You can stain the legs to match the table you select. Right now your chairs would work with a table like this.

Provide a photo of the room and any inspirational photos of what you might want.

This below would be more elegant. See the stain on the chair legs.

This is the room. Sorry about the mess. We ended been dumping all sorts of junk in there…lol
The room on the left is also the living room..also another blank slate. But I’m doing one room at a time.
Everything in here is going except the chairs.

Nice room to work with but your style should extend from one room in the house to the other. Get a style and then work from there for your selection. The room has bad lighting so place a chandelier on your wish list.

The rug is fairly traditional in style but It's not what I'd select for this room.

Thanks so much for the tips . The rug is going as well. Only the chairs stay.
Love the light option 😍
