I like the scale of the new piece, but don't think it's the best with your darker wood table and wood flooring. The lighter color could work but I think the wood looks too rustic. Does it come in any other color options?

It does not. What color would you recommend? I'm open to other buffets too

Wanting to stay away from anything matchy matchy lol

I would go with a black buffet over the wood toned ones you have shown. I think the contrast would be nice. I really love the second buffet you showed a great deal. It does not blend particularly well with what you have though. For me the goal is to either blend or contrast.

When you find one I hope you eliminate the photographs and the word art (a trend that is over) and find a large piece of art or a mirror to go over it, along with something tall like on your inspiration picture and some shorter objects. Your arrangement lacks color and is very static. I'm afraid the room looks very bare without a rug and colorful art, and some sort of centerpiece on the table.

I love your biblical quotation. Word art is indeed uncool. I dont think that a favorite passage from scripture is anything like word art though. Do look for some colorful art to add to the room.

Black sideboard to pick up the color of the base of your table

I find the buffet to be very compatible with the dark dining room set. All the dark ones will cause too much darkness. The light one has dark knobs and you can merchandise it similar to the photo. It has charm and makes the room warmer. I'd love to see a large copper tone bowl on the table to compliment the lightness. IdaClair is right.

I think any painted finish is better than wood so that you have some contrast with the floor and table. You could use black, but also white, cream, or a painted color that blends with your other furnishings like your drapes- sage green, taupe, etc.

couple of ideas for you....

since the table and chairs are all the same wood tone, you could bring in different chairs, OR, just switch out the two end chairs.

besides the end chairs, they've spruced up the room w/wall color, accessories and painted a vintage buffet

bring in diff chairs w/color

and then you could do a buffet in the same type of wood as the table. the colored chairs would be a buffer.

another idea is to do a similar wood buffet, but do something with your walls. either a two tone color and dramatic ceiling:

Or, a wainscot

look at the wainscot on this pic, below, and the inset spot for the buffet. notice how they painted that inset a diff color, and used the rug to tie the colors all together:

light gray (Crushed Ice) with white wainscot.

you could bring in a buffet like this. I think it would look great w/your table (but I'd still do at least 2 diff chairs)

a different way to decorate the buffet. I like the buffet lamps and one decor item over it. (instead of many little things)

I also like this dark one Beverly posted. with the white wainscot (see last pic) and darker walls, and a lighter rug w/black accents, this could be really nice.

another type of wainscot with darker walls
