Hi Charlotte - I like the Eames chairs suggested above and, as classic furniture, they won't date; I think the image supplied by Ana really sets the scene well. If you want to consider other classic chairs, there is the Series 7 by Jacobsen which comes in a multitude of colours - we supplied those below in this neutral scheme but paler coloured / white chairs would suit your proposed decor. Carl Hansen Wishbone Chairs are also timeless, and worth a look; they come in fewer colours, but are very stylish.For a softer feel, fabric chairs might also work for you - again with some colour. As for putting a rug beneath, I've seen a multitude of photos with this feature, which look fine in the photo, but I've never considered the idea practical; I would be concerned about rucking the edges with the chair legs and the area beneath the table can get quite dirty with crumbs. I think you will break up the wood-on-wood look with more interesting chairs, so personally I would avoid a rug. Hope this helps. Nick

Depending on your style and colours you prefer, you could go for three pendants across the table. There are plenty of styles on https://www.made.com/lighting and https://www.habitat.co.uk/lighting/shop-by-category/ceiling-lights have got very similar ones to the black shades seen here:

Definitely agree on the caution about the wood, interesting table idea too. Carolina I quite like both so I'll definitely look into both styles some more aha. And I quite like the colour ideas from Beano, thank you everyone :)
