Have you been feeling a bit in the dark as to how to create a black modern dining room that doesn’t appear too dingy? Black decor can look suave and seductive but it’s not always easy to hit that target of sophistication, with many black interior schemes coming across as decidedly dull. Fear not. This collection of 33 dining rooms show how to use a black colour scheme in a way that will wow your dinner guests. From stunning black dining table and chair combinations with complementing flooring ideas, to contrasting colour accents and amazing statement dining pendant lighting, you can find everything you’re looking for right here.
Our first black dining room scheme is attached to an open plan black kitchen. The kitchen is topped with a white countertop, and the black dining room chairs are tipped with white to match. The modern chandelier featuring small black shades lined with white is the Match by Vibia. All of these white accents are just enough to give an outline to each shape within the dark kitchen diner. 
This modern black dining table has been teamed with bright yellow modern dining chairs. The jolting combination looks superb against the shadowy backdrop. 
Traditional ceiling coving, decorative columns and wainscotting with garland carvings add beauty to a solid black painted wall. A gold dining pendant light and the golden glow of lighting from a cabinet of wine glasses add a flash of glamour. The wooden table picks up the golden tones whilst the black dining bench and chairs share the shadows. 
This dark dining room scheme uses an enormous piece of art to add light and texture to the room, along with some overhead sparkle from a chandelier. 
Globe pendant lights reflect over the white surface of this black dining table. A set of eight bottle green chairs provide subtle colour against black walls. A white herringbone pattern floor lifts the scheme. 
Four light rattan chairs provide light relief in this dark interior, along with a light wood herringbone floor. The black walls are covered in slats to create additional light and shade. 
Two of the black dining chairs in this set have been replaced with a raw wooden version of the same design. A couple of lush green indoor plants breathe life into the darkness. 
White wirework pendants stand out against a black and dark green decor scheme, whilst still allowing some of the darkness to show through. The wood and black leather dining room chairs match the kitchen units and backsplash combo. You can get similar dining chairs here. 
The black dining table chairs are almost lost against a solid black kitchen, but three yellow pendant lights and a light wood tabletop brightly mark out the eating zone. You can get the Black Eames chairs here, and the Acapulco chair here. 
Black velvet dining chairs create a sumptuous look. The floor lamp provides a dining table light without the need to have an electrician hang a ceiling pendant. 
This black dining table set is camouflaged against black walls and black curtains. Terracotta pots and a wooden floor bring earthy accents to the room. These black wood dining chairs are the Muuto Nerd chair. 
A collection of paper lanterns provide an extensive ceiling feature that stretches the full length of the table. 
This formal dining area uses a combination of black and wood tone to match the decorative shelving unit in the attached lounge. 
This black and white dining room has areas of wood tone to add visual warmth. Display shelves hold decorative items that bring personality to the monochrome room. 
When playing it safe with the colour spectrum, branch out with the furniture design. You can get Kartell Masters Chair Replicas here. 
Use modern fruit bowls to bring a big pop of colour to a small black dining table, like this Menu Dropp bowl. The Merax Black Rectangular table is available Merax Black Rectangular here, and the Kartell Masters Chair Replicas here. 
A tiny pendant light takes a back seat to chunky black dining chairs. 
You could restrict your black dining room decor to just a single wall, a partial dividing wall or a volume of built-in storage. 
Black metal dining chairs add trendy industrial style. 
An area rug provides a dark island for a black dining table and chairs within a white kitchen scheme. The modern dining table matches the kitchen backsplash and pulls dark and light elements of the room together.
