Whether you are entertaining friends or family, here at Puji we have a good selection of dining tables in attractive contemporary designs to suit all types of homes from urban loft style living to traditional country homes or cottages. Our dining room tables are made using simple, clean lines with no traditional overhangs and have classical features such as tapered legs.
Most of our solid wood furniture is made using teak, although we also have a stunning collection of dining room tables made from mango, oak, alder and mahogany. We have a range of finishes to suit any home. You can choose to have your furniture in a dark classic stain, which brings out the stunning teak wood grain and creates a stylish, expensive and luxurious feel. Alternatively, you may want your furniture oiled for a contemporary light wood finish or have your pieces left natural.
At Puji we also have a wonderful selection of designs of solid wood chairs, including teak dining chairs, leather dining chairs and banana chairs, so you can complete the look.

Contemporary Dining Table Shapes
Contemporary dining tables come in all shapes and sizes. When choosing a contemporary dining set the attention should be on clean straight lines and eye-catching geometric shapes. Ensure your table does not overwhelm the room and you and your guests can move around the furniture with ease. By taking space and simplicity into consideration it is easy to create a fuss free room where the focus is on clean lines and the beauty of the materials used.
Squares and circles are the most familiar shapes. They are more intimate than the traditional rectangular ones and allow for better eye contact. With a circular table it is also easier to add another chair if the need arises.
Whatever shape of table you opt for, it must complement the other furniture in your dining room for example side boards, cupboards buffets and chairs. This will provide a more harmonious look to your room.
Contemporary Furniture Colour Schemes
Neutral colours or earth tones often feature in contemporary design as they create a feeling of harmony. Neutral colours are timeless and clever use of artwork and accessories mean that you always keep up to date with current trends. Good colours to use in a contemporary dining room are bright white, medium taupe, tans, beige or muted greys which are timeless and calming. For a harmonious room inspired by nature, think about painting the walls green. Or if you want something more daring, use chocolate brown or black. To add impact to your dining room inject colour with bold accessories such as vivid artwork, vibrant curtains or bright crockery.
Other Furniture in the Contemporary Dining Room
The table and chairs make up the dining room basics but when you think about creating a dining room you should also consider other items of furniture, if there is space available. These are invaluable for serving space and storage and include side boards, cupboards, display units, side tables, console tables or buffets, which come in a range of contemporary designs to match your existing table and chairs. These useful pieces of dining room furniture are perfect for keeping everything close to hand so you don't have to keep getting up to go to the kitchen while entertaining your guests. They also provide valuable storage space to keep items out of sight such as glassware, tablecloths and other tableware.
For a perfect modern dining room think about sideboards that include contemporary characteristics such as texture and metal. Puji's FJ sideboard is a beautiful combination of wood and stainless steel and has simple clean lines for that added "wow" factor. It is made from a wonderful finger joint design and provides useful storage space with two drawers and one cupboard section with a central shelf.
Contemporary in design, The Jaya Buffet is two-tone with striking textured fronts. It has valuable storage space with useful drawers to keep items out of sight and four equally spaced display sections for those attractive accessories you want on view.
Made from solid reclaimed teak, The Shaman sideboard is practical and attractively designed with simple clean lines. It is flush fronted with contemporary groove handles and features a useful combination of cupboards and drawers.
A display unit is a striking and practical addition to your dining room. Display units are perfect to present beautiful glassware, serving dishes, photographs or any other decorative items you want on view. Contemporary dining rooms should be uncluttered so storage is vital. Think about display units with cupboards under for extra storage space. For added "wow" factor in your dining room consider the Cubic Display Unit. This is an impressive statement piece which has been imaginatively designed with dramatic twists and turns for eye-catching shelving and storage space.
Our Cubist Library is tall, impressive and striking. It is also artistic in form and has the extra advantage of storage cupboards underneath to keep clutter or tableware out of sight.
