Dining Room Tables | Elegant Designs for Every UK Home

Looking to elevate your dining space with style and comfort? Opulent Co.’s dining table collection offers something for everyone – from cosy round tables for intimate nooks to grand rectangular centrepieces for family feasts.

In this easygoing guide, we’ll introduce all seven standout dining tables (Arthur, Willow, Theo, Bredon, Heath, Peony, and Copgrove) and share friendly design tips and chair-pairing ideas for each. Whether you need a dining table and 4 chairs set for weeknight dinners or a spacious dining table bench arrangement for lively gatherings, you’ll find inspiration here. Let’s dig in! 

Arthur Acacia Wood Dining Table

The Arthur Acacia Wood Dining Table strikes a perfect balance between rustic warmth and modern edge. Its solid acacia top is rich in tone, while the black iron base adds strength and contrast. It’s just the right size for a dining table and 4 chairs, yet can comfortably seat up to six for bigger meals.

Design Tips:
Arthur shines when styled with simplicity. A natural linen runner and ceramic vases make an easy dining table centrepiece. For lighting, black metal pendants or glass globes hung 75 cm above the dining table top add character without crowding the space. If your table sits in a kitchen-diner, layering a textured rug beneath it defines the area and ties it into your dining table in living room decor.

Pair with These Chairs:
Arthur works beautifully with its matching bench – a dining table bench seat adds a casual, communal feel. On the other side, try upholstered fabric chairs from the dining chairs collection for contrast. Mixing a bench with chairs keeps things flexible and relaxed – exactly what a modern family home needs.

Bredon Dining Table

The Bredon Dining Table combines urban grit with a touch of glamour. Its faux concrete top has realistic texture without the weight, while the antique brass pedestal base makes it gleam. At 125 cm round, it seats four comfortably but can handle five at a squeeze.

Design Tips:
Style Bredon with brass accents – candlesticks or geometric bowls echo its base. Place atop a round rug for balance. For dining table decor ideas, keep it minimal: concrete looks best with greenery or a bold sculptural piece. Add overhead brass pendants for cohesion.

Pair with These Chairs:
Bredon works with velvet chairs in navy or charcoal for a luxe feel, or black metal chairs for industrial edge. Round tables pair best with armless designs, so consider curved-back dining chairs for easy flow.

Heath Pine Wood and Iron Dining Table

Big, bold, and welcoming, the Heath Dining Table is perfect for families. Its 200 cm pine top rests on black iron A-frame legs, comfortably seating 6–8. Heath’s mix of warm pine and strong iron makes it a versatile choice – farmhouse, rustic, or urban loft, it fits in all.

Design Tips:
Rustic tables shine with simple settings. A linen runner and a row of mason jar candles make easy dining table decor. Protect the pine with coasters and a clear dining table cover during messy meals. A wrought iron chandelier or row of pendants ties it all together.

Pair with These Chairs:
Pair Heath with a dining table bench on one side and wooden cross-back chairs on the other. For modern contrast, add metal Tolix-style chairs. This mix keeps the vibe casual and welcoming – perfect for Sunday roasts or homework sessions.

Peony Square Dining Table (Walnut)

Compact and versatile, the Peony Square Dining Table makes small spaces feel stylish. Measuring 80 x 80 cm, it’s perfect as a dining table for 2 but can squeeze four when needed. Its walnut veneer and tapered legs give it a mid-century edge.

Design Tips:
Square tables tuck easily into corners or nooks. Keep decoration minimal – a single vase works best. In a dining table in living room setting, push Peony against a wall with two chairs to save space, then pull it out for guests.

Pair with These Chairs:
 Pair Peony with Malmo Dining Chair for a coordinated dining table set. Alternatively, slim Nordic chairs in white or grey create a fresh contrast against walnut. Add a soft pendant light overhead for a cosy finish.

Copgrove Round Pedestal Dining Table

The Copgrove Round Pedestal Dining Table offers timeless French country elegance. Handcrafted in hardwood with a washed finish, its 150 cm round top seats six in comfort. The carved pedestal base gives it heritage charm while keeping legroom clear.

Design Tips:
Round tables encourage conversation. Keep decor simple – a round tray with candles or a floral arrangement works perfectly. Anchor the look with a vintage-style rug, and add a wrought iron chandelier from the lighting collection for a farmhouse touch.

Pair with These Chairs:
 Copgrove looks stunning with Copgrove matching chairs or classic cross-back chairs. Add a matching sideboard to complete the French-inspired look.

Theo Mango Wood Dining Table

The Theo Mango Wood Dining Table is all about timeless versatility. Crafted from natural mango wood, it features a thick plank top and angular legs that make it feel both solid and stylish. Measuring 180 × 90 × 76 cm, it seats six people with ease, making it just as practical for casual weeknight dinners as it is for celebratory family feasts. Its natural grain allows it to blend seamlessly into a wide variety of interiors, whether contemporary, coastal, country, or tropical.

Design Tips:

To style Theo, let the wood’s natural beauty shine. A simple linen runner with ceramic vases creates a calm and authentic dining table centrepiece, while rattan or metal pendants above the table tie into its organic feel. In open-plan layouts, placing Theo over a textured rug helps to zone the space while adding warmth.

Pair with These Chairs:

Pairing it with upholstered fabric chairs in neutral tones keeps the look soft and welcoming, but it also pairs beautifully with rattan or cane seating if you want to lean into a breezy, coastal vibe. For modern flexibility, you can mix chairs with a sleek bench on one side, giving the table an adaptable and relaxed personality.

Willow Dining Table

The Willow Dining Table brings refined elegance to the dining room. Its circular form is both sociable and stylish, with a tobacco walnut base supporting a marbled glass beige top. This wipe-clean surface is practical for everyday use, yet its design feels like a centrepiece in itself. At 100 × 100 × 75 cm, Willow comfortably seats six, making it a great choice for compact dining rooms where space is precious but style cannot be compromised.

Design Tips:

Round tables naturally encourage conversation, and Willow’s marbled top provides plenty of character without the need for clutter. A circular tray with candles or a low floral arrangement enhances its silhouette while keeping the look simple. Styling it with a vintage rug underneath creates instant atmosphere, while a chandelier or pendant light overhead makes the whole setting feel complete.

Pair with These Chairs:

Willow works beautifully with tufted linen dining chairs or classic cross-back designs, both of which highlight its French-inspired charm. To tie the look together, consider adding complementary storage pieces from our bone inlay furniture guide or incorporate brass accents for a subtle touch of luxury.

Styling Tips for Every Dining Table

  • Dining table height: Most are ~75 cm; pair with chairs 45–48 cm tall.

  • Lighting: Hang pendants or chandeliers 70–80 cm above the table.

  • Protection: Use covers, coasters, and trivets to keep surfaces pristine.

  • Mix seating: Try combining a dining table bench with chairs for a relaxed, curated look.
