The dining table is a place where you spend time with family and friends. It’s a place where we huddle close together, partaking in the essential ritual of sharing food. Here are some spectacular dining arrangements that set the right mood every day for joyous feasting.

A colourful treat
As seen in this space, the sleek wooden table is like a blank canvas where different colours come into play. The dark wood tabletop is offset by vibrant green chairs, turquoise dinnerware and yellow napkins. The muted red rug contributes subtly to the colour theme, bringing in warmth and creating an inviting ambience.

Quick DIYs to Setting Up a Festive Table

In this image, a cream dining table is accented by blue and green chairs upholstered in velvet. A cluster of drop pendants bring shine and sparkle to this double-height spot situated in an open-plan living room.

Relaxed al fresco
Outdoor dining is a luxury in the city and if you have an indoor garden, courtyard or terrace, why not go for al fresco dining. Here, a simply designed double pedestal, wooden dining table along with cylindrical stump stools are used and there’s always room for more to squeeze in. The ambience is casual, with colourful candles, flowers and tableware.

If you have a breathtaking view to look out at, make the most of it like these homeowners did. In the above image, the reclaimed unpolished wood table is crafted in an uneven shape with natural edges for a rustic feel. The bamboo chairs are covered with canvas-inspired light fabrics that dry easily – an added bonus for outdoor spaces and for wet zones closer to the pool.

Rounded classic
Space-saving, round-shaped dining tables fit well in smaller dining rooms. They are also great for more structured, rectangular rooms as they bring in depth with their curved silhouette. The featured area has a classic round table and chairs in smooth dark wood that mirror the tone of the deep maroon walls. The chairs are upholstered in nude hues that heighten the warmth from the beige of the carpet.
Fulcrum Studio
Dazzling glass
Easy to clean and maintain, glass tables dazzle with a subtle sheen. This table adds bling with metallic columns, which are complemented with silver candlesticks, antique-finish lattice bowls and other artefacts. The leaf chandelier lets the translucent glass shine and gives a clear view of the columns, too. The entire look is finished with comfortable Louis chairs (the back is straight, rectangular and upholstered) in beige.

Tip: Instead of translucent tabletop glass, you can go for etched or tinted ones to add some drama.

Stunning stone
Granite and marble are great tabletop choices for dining tables as they add high style and opulence while being usually maintenance free. Here, the black granite table is supported by a stone slab on one side and has wooden footrests built in underneath. The granite slabs are threaded with iron pyrite (commonly called ‘fool’s gold’), enhancing the ripple effect.
Along with scoring full points for being low maintenance, this table scores high on convenience – it is placed close to the open kitchen, making service easier.

Tip: Have chairs in lighter colours to offset the sense of heaviness brought in by the stonework.
Fadd Studio
Formal club dining
Club chairs originated in France and are often referred to as ‘comfortable armchairs’ because they are so cosy, with their embracing design. Usually made of leather, they add sophistication to formal tables. In the image, the designers have gone for club chairs in a vibrant blue that resonates with the colourful palette of the rest of the area. The black glass-top dining table is supported by vintage pedestals in white – combining contemporary with classic.

Tip: Club chairs needn’t be formal and always in leather. This distressed-wood dining table is complemented with wicker club chairs. White chair pads and cushions ensure seating comfort while looking aesthetic. And the best part is, you can take these chairs outdoors too, as wicker is weather-friendly.

Defying the norm
Most dining tables usually feature chairs in even numbers and are usually round, oval, square or rectangular in shape. But this boomerang-shaped table defies traditional shapes and boundaries. The black tabletop is accentuated with a white inlay pattern and contemporary pedestals. The seven off-white chairs with sleek steel legs tie the ambience together. The entire look is finished with black suspension lamps, though you can try something more colourful if you prefer.
