Hello, you could try our Online Design Tool to play around with some contemporary custom dining table designs (not exactly French provincial I know). The Clear Anodised frames would really match the highlights in your kitchen and a light woodgrain such as Dansk Maple would make really lighten up the area and tie in the furniture in your lounge room. As it is a small space a contemporary design would work really well as they are light and streamlined. We also have many colours to match your floors but a dark top might detract from the feature floor rather than compliment it Either way have fun playing around with some designs. http://tableanddesk.com.au/Dining-Table

A glass dinning table with dark timber legs in a X cross look in the middle of table will be ideal . You can still see the beautiful floor tiles and the dark timber legs will look amazing over the grey tiles. Have full fabric greyish brown chairs with same leg as the table.

Did you want to stick to white? These options also come in neutral. What style are you intending to achieve? These are bentwood, crossback, wishbone and malawi respectively if you need to search for suppliers. Depending on the room, I like the look of Malawi at the ends of the table with the replica wishbone on the sides.

For the last 10 years we had a square 8 seater dining table within a square ‘room’ in an open plan space, it should have worked perfectly but it never really did. If you have an odd number of guests or 6 it looks weird with empty spaces. Finding a square rug was tricky and expensive and by adding a buffet at one end of the room it was no longer square. A round table is tricky if you want a rug under it - a round rug needs to be huge to accomodate chairs being pulled out and square or rectangle rugs underneath it also look strange. As part of a recent Reno we went back to a rectangle shape and it works much better. We often use it for dinners of 6- 2 on each side and 1 at each end. 4 is also easy. If we have 8 we do 3 on each side & 1 either end. You can also do bench seats and squeeze even more in then push benches under the table for more space the rest of the time. Hope this helps.
