Hi. I agree with emanuelle. I'd go for an old wooden table and mix it with contemporary chairs. If the walls are going white then add either colour with the chairs (a mix could also be good) or texture. I'd go for a rectangular table rather than circle. You can pick up contemporary chairs cheaply on ebay

I understand. I recently started kitchen renovation and I needed tables to order somewhere. I am convinced that the main thing is the material of the table. It depends on where the table will be used. My friend who has his own cafe advised this website https://jsdeco.co.uk/fenix-laminates-bespoke-kitchen-furniture/. There, such tables are quite practical for use in kitchens, and this is wonderful.

I'm not that keen on tablecloths or runners and much prefer tables bare. I always use a tablecloth when we have people over for dinner though. I do have a habit of ruining them though (3 in as many months with red wine stains and candle wax) but I was given a Ralph Lauren one for xmas and was told it was indestructible. It did receive the obligatory red wine stain and washed out so fingers crossed. We also took the decision not to stress over the wooden kitchen table top and let it "age/wear" although our son is past the age of painting if not smearing food!

Hi, I looked it up on Harvey-Norman.co.uk and the description says "has a heat and stain resistant surface; so cleaning up after meals is a breeze." so I think you will be fairly safe. I guess as long as any spillages are wiped up fairly promptly it should be ok.
