Option #3. Minimalism

The legs of the bench and the base of the table showcase carved features that bring the gothic look home without overdoing it for the top of the table or the seating, too.

Option #4. Tudor Chairs

This traditional gothic table is surrounded by high-backed Tudor style chairs which feature dark frames and lighter brown accents.

Option #5. Smaller Table

If you need a smaller table for your home, consider this option, which can also function as a desk. This table features carved-out spaces in the sides and thick, square legs that combine to create a traditionally gothic appearance. The dark wood of the desk draws the whole look together seamlessly.

Option #6. Sleek and Mismatched

A popular modern trend in decorating is to choose mismatched chairs to go with your dining room table. This look incorporates that contemporary style with the sleek and dark look of a gothic piece of furniture. Utilizing both high-backed chairs and a bench seat, this dining set still sticks to the traditionally gothic.

4. Candles

Nothing says gothic like candles—everywhere. This look incorporates several candles of differing sizes and shapes to pair with red flowers and other simple red accents. The resulting style is a romantic gothic twist that departs a little from the darker black and brown of many other styles.

Note: Be careful when using lots of candles, as this could create a fire hazard. Do not leave a lit candle unattended.

5. Candlesticks

Bring home some intricately carved gothic candlesticks for a powerful approach to the style on any table. These candlesticks can be used with many different colors of candles to create the look you’re going for. Try varying the heights of your candles for a more traditional approach to this style.

Now that you know a little more about what a gothic dining table might look like, it’s time to look for some ideas to help you find the perfect one for your home. Here are some things to keep in mind for your gothic dining table search:

• ​Dark wood. The darker the wood, the more gothic the table is sure to appear.
• ​Simple tabletops. Most of the tabletops at this time were very basic and plain. They might be long pieces of flat wood or slabs of thick lumber.
• ​Carved legs and bases. The details of these tables will usually be found in the bases and legs. These parts should feature carvings and intricate work that makes them stand out.
• ​Heavy. The tables should be visually heavy as well as physically heavy and made of solid, durable wood.
• ​Large. Most of these tables will be very large, with some exceptions.

By keeping all this information in mind, you’ll be able to create the perfect gothic table—and surrounding dining room—with ease.
