What a beautiful room, table is great, I love transparent furniture also it could work well with your room, I can imagine it with your table but a more luxe look could be stainless to blend with benchtops or leather or be brave and mix it up for a more contemporary look, depends on the style you are after, fab room

Hmmm I do understand your indecision. So if it were me I would lean toward caution and choose a tabletop which blends with your existing colour scheme. It's always difficult to tell from a photo the hues in someone else's home. It does appear your kitchen tiles are a cream colour, and possibly your sofa is a warm white. Is that correct? If so, I would look for a marble with warm tones. If you like black as the main colour, is there one with beige or warm white or brown tones in it? Otherwise, you cannot go wrong with glass topped or timber.

Try the Amazon Australia site. If placemats only come in sets of 4, then purchase two sets. Love the colours in the placemats Kate has shared.

We had our regular 6 seater rectangular table and then had a large piece of ply cut that would be laid on top when needed. It was a little wider than the table and then longer to create extra seating at each end. I then just put a tablecloth over the lot. It was big to store but fine up against the garage wall.
