Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jun 12, 2009 11:35 am Almost finished building and in the process of buying furniture... I'm a little bit confused about the colours for the dining table and chairs. Our floors are dark choclate hardwood and the kitchen is also the same shade of brown. I'm wondering if having an 8 seater dining table in the same shade (but with lighter chairs) would be overkill??? the alternative would be a contrasting light ashy woodgrain?? Our walls are a shade of white and the kitchen backsplash is the iceblue glass... any colour suggestions for the table and chairs would be appreciated. Re: Too much chocolate.... not a good thing? 2Jun 12, 2009 1:42 pm Yes i am having the same problem at the moment, i just love Chocolate, have chocolate lounge, chocolate floor rugs, chocolate cabinets. We ordered a new lounge the other day and of course i was going to get chocolate but hubby said no i am sick of everything chocolate lets mix it up a bit so we are getting a red leather lounge. What about a white dining set, it would go well. But of course i don't know if you have kids and so on, so white may not be suitable for you but i would think about it. Can you post a picture on here so we can have a look at all of your chocolate. Re: Too much chocolate.... not a good thing? 3Jun 12, 2009 1:49 pm I was going to ask for a photo as well, but that could be difficult if the house is not finished yet? If you are having a light fabric on the chair….I would then think about a nice large cream rug under the chocolate table that will help break up all the dark timbers and make them look a bit swish! If you do this, you won’t have a problem.

On topic; If you got a chocolatey coloured table and you felt you have too much of the same colour, perhaps put a nice big rug down with a lighter colour? What about a glass table?

I left a post on the flooring topic the other day asking about dark chocolate floorboards. I have seen them here in Canada but couldn't see any on any of the Australian supplier websites. My wife and I both love them so can I ask where you are getting yours from? Thanks!
