Black Dining Table & Chairs

Very cool and very contemporary, a black dining table and chairs set most definitely says something about your design sensibilities. And while undeniably on-trend, a classic black dining set will simply never go out of style. All of which goes to say that black dining sets are definitely a dining room look worth exploring. And we’re very happy to lead the way.

Why choose black dining table and chairs?

In design terms, a black dining table and chairs set is a classic. Bold yet sophisticated, fashion-forward yet sure to stand the test of time, a black dining set is destined to find a home in your dining room for years to come. A black dining set also goes well with many styles of dining room sideboards and cabinets and is easy to accessorise. The chameleon of dining furniture, a black dining set looks stylish and grown up when surrounded by traditional decor and, just as successfully, brings drama and bold chic to modern monochromatic spaces.

If you’re designing your dining room from the ground up, we heartily recommend that you look at purchasing a complete, ready-made black dining table and chairs dining set. While it’s entirely possible to mix and match a dining table with dining chairs, you’ll find that purchasing a dining set means that all the effort of creating a coordinated stylish dining table and chairs combo has been done for you.

That means that the dining chairs will work beautifully with the dining table from a style perspective – the materials, shape, and overall design aesthetic of one will complement the other – as well as from a practical perspective. The dining chairs will be the perfect height for the table for dining comfort, and they'll also be the perfect width for the table, allowing all your guests to sit comfortably without knocking one another's elbows.

Styling your black dining set

Ready to show off your new black dining set to full advantage? If you’re considering table settings, a tone-on-tone approach looks fabulous, and by this we mean choosing dinnerware that’s black or a shade of black (aka grey).

When you're not setting your table for a dinner party, it’s easy for a dining room table to become a repository of general household clutter – stacks of books and papers or piles of clean clothes en route from the utility room – or function as a home office. To preserve the design integrity of your new black dining set, use the table top intentionally. Adorn it with a fabulous vase of statement flowers, a handmade ceramic bowl or a unique tabletop ornament from our selection of stylish finishing touches.

What if a black dining table and chair set isn't for me?

A black dining set isn’t for every person or every home. If your home has classic features like fireplaces and high ceilings, you may prefer something more traditional in style. Our wooden dining sets might fit more seamlessly into your home’s aesthetic.

If you’re a fan of mid-century furniture, you’ll find some lovely dining table and chair options from Ercol. Characterised by beautifully finished pale wood and unfussy design motifs, Ercol dining sets are both elegant and practical.

Or create your own dining set by mixing and matching from our extensive selection of dining tables and dining chairs. If you opt for this route, be sure to take a look at our dining tables and dining chairs buying guide first. There you’ll find lots of helpful information as you match your ideal dining table with your perfect dining chairs, including how to measure each carefully for comfort and style.

The finishing touches

You’ve chosen your black dining set and brought it home. You’re in love – but there’s something missing. Oftentimes, a new furniture purchase throws light on the other furniture and accessories that might need changing, updating or replacing.

Turn your dining room into extra liveable space – a place to gather even when it’s not dinnertime – by adding practical storage pieces (to keep the clutter at bay) and an accent chair or two. Browse our sideboard collection for one that has the perfect amount of interior space (be sure do a quick mental tally of your dinnerware, table linens, glasses and cutlery to asses the most practical arrangement of cupboards and drawers) and display cabinets , for all the items you’d rather display than hide away.
