Mixing Wood Tones

Ask a Designer : Q&A 

Design Dilemma : 

I recently had a client that just purchased a new home, open concept living/dining/kitchen space. The floors were like a warm Maple with some variation of a chestnut brown, the cupboards were a yellowish Oak, there were storage built-ins that were painted black, the island was a light natural wood colour. Her question for me was : What dining table (she prefers wood)  should I get to go with all these crazy different wood tones?!

2. Or, one of the following choices : Solid/Glass/Marble Dining Tables : 



If you have a design dilemma, let me know about it :)
