Tip the balance with tone. This grey dining table and chairs set is brought to the forefront in a darker shade of grey than the lighter grey kitchen behind. The different shading creates a subtle layered effect without veering away from the grey on grey aesthetic.

Turn up the temperature with woodtone. When choosing dining furniture for a cool grey room, opting for a natural wood dining set can really help warm up the look. In this example, white chairs have been teamed with a wood table and dining benches, to tie the set in with the kitchen’s white backsplash behind.

This design keeps wood grain down on the floor of the dining room, which subtly accentuates a smooth grey dining set. A narrow stripe of colour-changing LED lighting also draws eyes to the floor.
