How to add margin to a UITableView

I have a UITableView with a certain background, say red. The view holding the UITableView has a, say, blue background. I want to give the UITableView some left, right, top, and bottom margin so that the blue of the parent view shows on all sides. How do I do that? I tried playing around with tableView.contentInset but it's not working.

e.g.

tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -15, 0, -15);

UPDATED TO FIT PROGRAMATIC APPROACH:

Instead of using UItableViewController which has its tableview "stitched to the border",

1) use a normal UIViewController subclass

2)make it implement UITableViewDelegate & UITableViewDatasource protocols

3) declare a tableView property

4) override viewDidLoad in your viewcontroller and in there, initialize the table view property with a frame smaller than the main view and origin so that there are margins for example {20,20, 280, 440}.
