Types of Dining Tables to Pair with Black Chairs

If you want your home to feel more layered, choose a tabletop in a different material and color than the chairs. If you prefer the same color scheme, try different tints of the same color, such as a black table and charcoal chairs. This can help bring dimension to the space and create a more balanced look.
