This is a great example of what modern dining rooms look like these days with a modern dining table and six chairs set in a contemporary location with solid timber flooring and bare concrete textured walls contrasted with 3 red hanging lamps. 

Dining room tables and chairs come in many shapes and styles. There are many dining table and chair options and the choice you end up making will depend entirely on whether you prefer something classic and traditional, or modern and contemporary. (There are the eclectic types who will mix and match)

Besides the dining table and chair style choice, there are also the sizing options, for example, do you need to cater for just two if you? Or do you have a much bigger family or frequently entertain guests, in which case you may require an eight seat table, or perhaps even one that expands to accommodate the extra guests. Either way there are lots of options to choose from. Then there is the finish and the material that they are made from. Do you prefer traditional timber dining furniture, or perhaps you’re a little more sophisticated in your tastes and don’t mind some of the newer laminated or plastic options.

This gallery highlights a number of the more ‘simplistic’ dining table and chair options. These have been captured in their surroundings so you can gain an appreciation as to how you could potentially dress some of the more ‘monotone’ colored sets up and create a whole different look and feel.
