Hi all Just thought I'd give an update. Even though hubby and I discussed with each other that we will wait til we move in to get a dining table. Hubby went back to the store where we bought the sofa set to buy something, then he went ahead and bought the matching dining set because he got a good deal for it. Oh well. Thanks again to all those who helped me with this :)

I was in favour of a colour similar to Jarrah but my daughter disagreed. My concern with black is that the decking is a shade of blue/grey and the house has much grey as well. I really like the black(ish) look but the pics shared show it on quite light surfaces i.e. cement or a very light wood colour. I actually have a full tin of blackbean wood stain. Do you know this colour?

These are on an American site, but may be able to tell you if there is a stockist in Australia

Thank you all so much for your time and fantastic suggestions... I was so confused and couldnt figure out how to decorate the space.. Your inputs have enlightened me with so many new ideas.. As most of you suggested, I think I might keep the dining table and add more wood accents to the kitchen.. I am also considering to change the dining chairs. As someone said, i also think its too much black and the lean chairs is making the dining area smaller for the space.
