Paint the white parts a new color. My favourite durable low prep paint is fusion mineral paint. The colors are gorgeous!
Chalk paint! You could use a gel stain on the table top to darken it!
Seems like the easiest way is to paint the white parts something different. and then get pads for the chair seats in a nice pattern to complement the new color on the legs.

How To Upcycle a Wooden Table With The Tree of Life Mandala Stencil
A paint sprayer will make quick work of those spindles! I would refinish the top of the table to a darker stain and paint the bottom and chairs a solid color.
Contact paper is tacky! horrible to take off!! Beachy distressed is super easy. sand the top to get shininess top off.white wash with whites and light greys do the same for seat tops. distress all the white to make is look old and worn. If of course if you like that look!
