yvonne, yes i guess we can use it in the dining. The dinining room is small and doesnt have any windows. the kitchen has a lot of natural light that will come across to the dining due to the open kitchen plan. We will be buying new furniture for the dining. We could buy a glass top table with wood chairs / wood table with wood chairs. The room will be painted offwhite similar color as the base of this fabric. All walls will be painted the same color by the builder, Afer taking possession of the house we can repaint it where needed for accent wall etc. Its an appartment, we live in India.

OK Rahul, your going to need to be more specific than this. Can you send pictures of the room this table is going to be in - does this room connect with a kitchen, or hallway? Photos of those rooms too please, and, what does your dishware look like that is going to sit on this table when you have company over? Photo of that as well. then we get into patterns, colours, textures, dimension, theme, style etc. May I suggest you find an interesting pattern that you must have - this will depict the intricate detail of the pattern needed - check out Sicis.com excellent italian mosaic tile company that will help to inspire your vision for your table. Then google "black and white abstract shapes-patterns", this will help you choose what shapes, patterns you want in your mosaic. Some photos to show you how extensive this is - and you need to give more guidance as to your personal style and preferences before we can help you further. Good Luck! Yes the third image is actually mosaic tile - from Sicis.com

There are lots of nice cordless lamps. What if you take the picture to a store that just sells lighting, and see if they have something similar in their catalogs? It would be expensive but maybe worth it if you love having them be the first thing you see when you come in the door.
