Dark wood floors

[marshmallowhands]

We've got walnut stained hardwood floors throughout the dining and living room (which are open). I'm looking for a new dining table and having a little trouble deciding on color. If I go for a dark stained table, it seems like the room could be too dark. Would a light wood table on dark floors look strange? Lately I'm thinking about the attached table (white legs, light wood top). Thoughts?

Do you have a picture of the floors?

I'd still go dark with the furniture, and save the lights and colors for my textiles and accessories.

Ditto what TD said. But I like dark wood and am generally not a fan of white, so take this with a grain of salt.

This!  I'd go for the dark table and then get a lighter area rug/curtains to brighten up the room.

I have darker floors and a dark table ... if you have a rug to break it up, I don't think it's too dark. (I also have light upholstered chairs, which helps, too.)

I think I'm just not that big a fan of white painted wood, so that is coloring my opinion of the pic you posted.

Thanks everyone! I prefer dark wood as well but was worried about how it would look with two different stains. I like the idea of lightening it up with a rug and other decor. Plus it will be so much easier to find a table now.

We have dark walnut floors and this dining set with no rug. The table isn't lost or too dark.
