Dark Brown Dining Table Design
My dark brown dining table formal dining room idea includes a beautiful dark brown rectangular dining table and a matching buffet cabinet.
Around the dining table are neutral upholstered dining chairs, and atop the table is a pillar candle table holder set. On the wall are decorative wall sconce candle holders and ivory window curtains.
On the buffet table is a ceramic vase set and table lamp. The room is tied together with the perfect area rug.
Dark Brown Rectangular Dining Extension Table
The centerpiece of this design is a stunning dark brown rectangular dining extension table.
This expandable table is crafted from solid and manufactured wood with a veneer finish and accommodates up to 8 guests, which makes it ideal for intimate dinners and grand gatherings.
Matching Buffet or Server Cabinet
Enhance your dining room’s visual and functional appeal with a matching dark brown contemporary buffet cabinet.
The exquisite wood diamond pattern, rich dark brown finish, and diamond-matched veneer inlay make this server cabinet a statement piece that combines practicality with elegance.
One of my favorite reasons to include console tables or buffet cabinets in a dining room design is that they provide the ideal space for dressing up for the holidays and special occasions.
Contemporary Upholstered Dining Chairs
Complete the dining set with contemporary upholstered dining chairs. These chairs feature channel-stitched beige upholstery and a dark brown wood frame made from engineered wood.
They offer both style and comfort for your guests. The legs match really well with the furniture in the room, and the neutral-colored upholstery softens the room.
Farmhouse Ivory Window Curtains
Infuse a dreamy touch into your dining space with farmhouse ivory window curtains. The delicate lace edge border and linen-like cotton fabric blend bring a touch of rustic charm, creating an inviting atmosphere for memorable meals.
These curtains are unlike any other that I’ve come across lately. The intricate detailing of the lace edge border adds intrigue and sophistication to the room.
Gorgeous Area Rug in Denim and Spice
Tie the entire room with a lovely area rug in denim and spice colors. The colors in the rug complement the other elements in the room.
An area rug is a great way to define a space and add warmth and visual interest. I am absolutely in love with this rug. I think it has the prettiest colors and pattern, and I need to figure out a way to tie it into my own home decor.
Candle Sconce Wall Decoration and Pillar Candle Holders
Illuminate your dining space with two candle sconce wall decorations made of metal and cast iron, finished in an antique brown beeswax protective coating. These wall sconces allow you to create some soft lighting for a romantic dinner.
Sweeten the ambiance further with two pillar candle holders featuring a crackled mosaic design in a warm brown color. These can be used as a dining table centerpiece or as table decor atop the buffet cabinet.
Serving Cabinet Table Decor
Upgrade your serving cabinet aesthetic with three rustic white ceramic vases and a matching rustic white table lamp with a white fabric lampshade. These decor pieces add a touch of rustic sophistication, creating a balanced and curated look.
The white fabric table lamps have a beautiful farmhouse base. The elegant carved pattern on the lamp makes them perfect for a formal dining room.
Imagine how romantic this dining room would be when lit only by these table lamps and the candles in the pillar candle holders and wall sconces.
