Without needing to write code, simply select Clear Color for the table view's Background property in the View section.

tableview.backgroundView = nil;
tableview.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

This may help you in solving your problem

Create the property of tableView:

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;

Then synthesize it:

@synthesize tableView = _tableView;

In implementation create method:

- (UITableView *) tableView {
  [_tableView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
  return _tableView;
}

Remember also to connect your tableView in xib file, and it should work.

Firstly, you could try searching on Stack overflow for your exact question. Here's two:

If that doesn't help, try to make the background colour of the table view transparent [UIColor clearColor] and put another view behind your UITableview containing the colout/texture/image you need.
