Marble Dining Tables

Marble, a well-known favorite for kitchen islands and countertops, moves into the dining room or study with marble dining tables. For a classic kitchen layout, arrange a white marble-topped table with an elm base along a kitchen wall. Serve Sunday brunches and weekday breakfasts here, but save dinners for the dining room. Consider a more contemporary look in the dining room: the modern silhouette of a Parsons table contrasts metallic brass and stainless steel bases with dark marble tabletops. Host holiday gatherings and formal dinners here, and set the table with metallic chargers and gold or silver napkins to match the table’s metallic base. Alternatively, create a tablescape that contrasts the black marble with the woven look of rattan placemats and linen table runners. In home offices and studies, let marble dining tables serve as desks. Add a sleek office chair and open-backed bookshelves to complete the office’s modern look.
