101 Chic Decor Ideas for Glass Dining Table and Chairs
A glass dining table is a timeless decor classic that suits any dining room. Whether the table is black, white or clear, a glass table blends in with your dining room aesthetic.
However, it can look empty when no one is eating at the table.
How to decorate your dining room and make it look lived in? What to put on the table beside a regular fruit bowl?
A few touch-ups can breathe new life into an otherwise neutral glass dining table.
Simple decor pieces such as flowers and candles highlight your beautiful glass table. A new chair setup or colourful tablecloths transform it completely.
Clear Glass Dining Tables With Unique Centrepieces

A centrepiece is an eye-catching item placed at the centre of your clear glass table. Clear glass tables have a habit of blending into dining rooms—which makes interesting central pieces a must.
The main piece can be the largest or the tallest thing you place on the table or:
- A uniquely shaped item that complements the dining room aesthetic
- A distinctly coloured item that matches your interior walls, chairs or a rug
The centrepiece looks different on every dining room table. Some prefer flower arrangements and candles, while others find unusual ornaments work best.
It’s entirely up to you, but keep in mind that the centrepiece sets the tone for the rest of the dining room decor. Once you choose your key item, build on it with other details that share its accent to create a cohesive interior design story.
The table below suggests how to include these details when decorating your clear glass dining table:
|
Glass focal pieces, such as candle holders, vases and quirky ornaments, match the elegance of a glass table |
Unique candlesticks are a popular central decor item that pairs well with other accessories that share a silver accent |
A mirrored tray with a brass accent makes a convenient centrepiece on which you can put your coasters, extra glasses or flower arrangements |
|
Imperfect handmade clay vases set the tone as a white centrepiece |
Fresh-cut flowers in a vase lift the atmosphere in the dining rooms and add a dash of natural elegance |
Stacks of books or magazines waiting on the table also create the focal point of the table |
|
A glass table is neutral by default. Change things up with a colourful tablecloth |
When you want something different, a black tablecloth turns the space into a luxurious formal dining room |
Underplates are available in any colour imaginable. Choose hues that complement your central piece |
|
Light beige or champagne coloured rug highlights the contemporary dining room look |
A rug with ornaments ties the decor together if it features colours you use throughout the dining decor |
A navy blue rug introduces a calming colour you can work with when deciding on your central piece |
|
White wooden chairs work well with white or wooden centrepieces |
The light blue chair set brings a dash of colour. It suits the centrepiece in a lighter or darker hue of blue |
Grey chairs are neutral additions that give you freedom on what you can use as a key table piece |
Use Contrast to Highlight Black Glass Dining Tables

Spotlight your black glass dining tablewith contrasting accessories and splashes of colour. You can achieve that by adding:
- Lights in the form of interesting candles and jars with fairy lights
- Colourful elements with either vivid, bright or neutral tones that pair well with black
- Golden accents, which contrast with the black, and form a luxurious look
Want to reinvent your black glass dining room table?
Cover the table with a tablecloth to protect its surface and alter it into something new. Another way to shake things up is by replacing your set of chairs or using different chair covers.
From the table below, you can get some ideas on how to implement those touchups in your home:
|
Golden silverware or any other gilded decoration elevates elegant glass tables |
Kintsugi (the art of fixing broken pottery with gold) pots and bowls are a unique way to introduce a golden accent |
Candles are popular centrepieces because they create a sense of warmth on a black dining table |
|
Artificial succulents in interesting pots liven up a black table |
Primary coloured flowers such as vivid yellow sunflowers or red roses contrast with black glass tables |
White elements are a great choice for contrasting focal points that highlight a black table |
|
On the night when you want to transform your black table, nothing does it like a white tablecloth |
Table runners in darker shades of your favourite colour accentuate black tables |
Light-coloured placemats add a pop of colour and reintroduce a black table as the main character |
|
An antique carpet brings a moody look to your dining room setup |
Colourful carpets lighten up dining rooms with black tables |
Black and white rugs emphasise a modern aesthetic that thrives on simplicity, contrast and geometric shapes |
|
Brown dining chairs are another way to add colour while remaining faithful to the antique look |
The Ochre chair set matches the black glass table and spells happiness with its distinctive hue of yellow |
Cream-coloured chairs highlight and contrast with the black table |
