Decorating- Look at these pics- trying to coordinate furniture. Help!?

I have a new entertainment center being delivered for our living room- it is distressed black, so you can see a lighter wood color peeking through on the edges of the furniture. I really need a coffee table to coordinate, but I want the kind that lifts up like a desk- they are awesome!! Unfortunately, they don't have many to pick from in distressed black. Our couches are microsuede sage w/ the darker brown legs. Walls beige. Would it look uncoordinated to have a walnut brown table? I know designs aren't matchy-matchy anymore, but I don't want it to look tacky. Here's a pic of the entertainment center: www.aspenfurnituregallery.com/images/I47expandablewall.jpg This is not the table (style or anything), but will give you example of color: www.koudenhorn.nl/eng/coffee_tables/coffee_table.html I'm sure anything "looks fine" but if I'm spending the money, I wanna get it right and want it to look good. Any other color ideas? Just black? Your design help is MUCH appreciated!

try teakwood furnitures
okay, first of all very nice... you have my taste and style. Going with a brown stain coffee table is perfectly fine. The pic that you offer is perfect in color of stain. Don't go much darker than that so they don't look too heavy. The honey tones will look nice against the black it adds contrast. Use black accessories on the coffee table. Such as a larger candle stand of wrought iron and glass with a colorful candle inside, or a grouping of candle sticks in various sizes in black with colorful candles. tie the black together with the accessories, same with entertainment center, may find a brown storage basket in the same brown tones as table and use on entertainment center. Black is very neutral, so you won't be tacky.. Remember, contrast in textures, colors, and fabrics adds interest.
