Since I know I have many talented readers, I could really use your help. I'm on a very strict budget right now, which makes it a little more difficult (but fun) to find furniture for my new apartment. The apartment is really small, so I have to find a small dining table. I was thinking of combining a table top with IKEA's VIKA LERBERG trestle legs. However, I can't decide whether I want black legs and a white table top, white legs and a white table top or black legs and a black table top. What do you think? I will combine it with black chairs. I really need your opinions! Thanks!

I think a white table top is better, because it bounces light around and it doesn't look so massive in a small room. I would use it with black legs, to match the chairs.
ReplyDeleteI have a big (120x240 cm) dining table in my living room, with the white Lerberg legs and a tabletop we made ourselves from some planks that I painted matte gray. I love it so much that I just bought another set of Lerberg legs and a stainless steel table top, to use as a desk in my son's room. Perhaps steel could be an option for you too?
I'm thinking to do the exact same thing. I've been tossing up between a stainless steel tabletop (Ikea - Vika Hyttan) or getting a plain, basic tabletop from anywhere and covering it with Laminex (not sure if I want to go for either plain black or white or there's some funky black and white designs they've got now). The reasons that I'm choosing from either stainless steel or laminate is because I have 3 little kids that ruin anything made of wood!

Thank you so much for your ideas. I haven't even thought about steel, but it might be an option. And thanks for the link to the picture as well.

Hi! I like this kinds of legs, I think they are too practical and looks very artistic. I´ve been reading your options, but I´m going to propose you another one. What do you think about black legs and wooden table top?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your advise! I think you're right, a wooden tabletop would look beautiful, especially mixed with all the other black and white things. Now I'm even more confused!
