Choosing a Black Marble Dining Room Table
A dining room table in black marble is a great way to make a statement. The boldness of black marble will naturally make any dining table in this material a luxurious focal point. Just like when you use any other material in black you are presented with the design challenge of managing the strength of this colour. You must find a way to balance the amount of black in the room with a lighter colour in order to prevent the room becoming too dark and feeling smaller than it really is.
Thankfully black beautifully contrasts with several other colours which will help you do this. One great combination is black with white marble. The unison of white marble tiles with a black marble dining table is also outstanding. Other ways to integrate white when balancing a black marble table include the addition of white furniture, curtains or wallpaper.
An alternative to making use of contrast with your interior design, you can take advantage of using colours complimentary to the stones natural beautiful veining patterns. Examples of materials where this can be achieved include Nero Portoro, Noir St Laurent and Nero Marquina. This veining gives you the opportunity to integrate walnut furniture and gold décor into your design scheme. With black marble the options are almost unlimited once you start to use your imagination. This makes a table in black marble a fantastic choice for any dining room.
