To expand on my previous comment over a decade ago, no need to choose. Get a pool table with a dining table top. There are loads available. Then cut yourself a piece of MDF or decent quality plywood to fit on top. Make the dimensions enough to allow for fitting a net. EITHER paint it in your own colour scheme as a ping pong table - maybe to match your choice of pool table cloth. Doesn't have to be green & white. Mine's blue & yellow, to match the funky bats & balls I found. OR make the top side a piece of art. hang it on the wall when not in use. You can play ping pong on any sized table. Mine's about 1m x 2m as that's what I can easily store. (Sadly no space for a pool table, but we do have a wide bodied pinball machine & our local pool club, with three pool & two snooker tables, is a 5 min walk away.) You CAN have your cake & eat it.

This is probably the toughest poll out there - they're all pretty amazing! Purely on the basis of the image I like the best, I'm going to have to go for the Tuscan farmhouse (although the Canadian, other Italian and Swedish home come so so close)!

I think you should take a tip from Spas where they understand that too many watery colours are an overload. Consider adding a wood or stone covering to the wall and then take your paint colour scheme from that.

I am torn between running the tiles vertical or horizontally. Thanks!
