Perfect Mealtime Pairs: Dining Tables & Dining Room Colours

is a favourite for both classic and contemporary dining room style thanks to its industrial design that pairs powder-coated metal legs with a solid acacia wood top. A chevron pattern adds visual interest to the top, bringing artistic detail to the industrial look. When you picture industrial styling, you may imagine an empty loft, sparsely furnished and painted with crisp whitewash and black accents. But there’s room for warm tones in industrial dining room colour choices as well. Greige hues that mix cool tones (greys) with warm ones (beiges) are ideal neutrals, and for darker colours you can opt for earthy browns that complement the wood tabletop of the Vita.

Cool industrial dining room colours featuring the Aurelius Concrete Top Dining Table

Paint colours: Shirting, Shallows, Bone China Blue Pale, Light Gold, Royal Navy, Lamp Black

If a cooler colour palette is more your style but you still want that industrial look, start with the Aurelius Dining Table. Pairing a distressed wood base with a concrete top, this mixed-material design is available in round or rectangular and is perfect for an industrial-inspired space, with an array of cool grey tones to match. For your dining room colours, you can utilise the full spectrum of light, bright white to darkest black to create appealing contrast. A dark, inky blue creates a moody atmosphere. You don’t want to use only cool colours to avoid overwhelming a space, so adding in a warm accent colour like golden yellow creates balance and keeps the room from feeling too icy and cold.

Sleek modern dining room colours featuring the Brentwood Dining Table

Paint colours: Loft White, Welcome, French Grey, Scree, Mazarine Blue, Bronze Red

For a modern dining table that offers chic style and plenty of space for entertaining, the Brentwood Round Dining Table is a favourite. With a sleek, chromed base and a top that extends thanks to a folding leaf insert, you can host a group in contemporary style and then turn it into a more compact option for every day. The modern dining room colour palette can go in many directions, but we love a mostly neutral space with a few dramatic pops of primary colours. Light and dark grey tones match the Brentwood’s design, and darker shades of blue and red keep these colours looking sophisticated and modern rather than playful and childish when you use them to accent the space.

Bold modern dining room colours featuring the Duggan Ceramic Top Dining Table

Paint colours: Welcome Pale, Knox, Urbane Grey, Trumpet, Atomic Red, Jack Black

The Duggan Dining Table is your chance to go big with a modern dining room look. Featuring a smooth ceramic top on a metal base that takes on the sculptural look of an art piece, this dining table is a definite statement-maker. The white tabletop and black base offer strong contrast, and your dining room colours should do the same. Unlike most colour palettes, this isn’t one where you should try to use all the colours. Begin with a neutral colour palette — whites and greys are great for this to really make the more vibrant colours pop.
