Log Furniture in a City Dining Room

Rustic Pine Log Furniture in This City Dining Room

Fine dining in the fair city: Rustic pine log furniture like this dining table soften the sharp noise of midtown.

Start adding some texture to your sleek modern loft space with a knotty, rustic pine dining table. The bright, fresh color catches sunlight rays from your immediate skyline view, but the classic shape doesn’t overwhelm your secondary sensibilities. As you feel more adventurous, you can pull up a few twiggy hickory chairs for color contrast. We decided against a rug in this space (it felt a little too cozy for the room), but a larger dining room could benefit from a solid color, polished floor covering under the dining table and chairs.

This moody, dynamic combination of hearty log furniture with deep stains and black leather favors the dark and dramatic among us.

We love adding the plaid for a kick of personality, but you can pull up a solid Hickory wood hoop settee and Hickory bench luxe leather if you’d prefer. A handsome, American-made gun cabinet compliments the wildlife art in this budding Man Cave,
