On the basis of what criteria should you choose a dining table
In the search for a suitable table, the proverb is very relevant: you go quieter - you will continue. Indeed, before finally decide, it is necessary to analyze some aspects and details in order to understand by what principle you can make your only choice.
-
The size of the table is suitable for a particular kitchen. There is a universal rule that states that a small table should have in a small kitchen, and in a spacious - large. But at the same time, you need to keep in mind that ideally for each member of the family at the table, there should be about 60 cm. You still need to add chairs, one for each person.
- In order to freely sit and get up from the table, it must be placed no closer than 70 cm from the wall. It is believed that in the average kitchen the table is optimal with a width of 85 to 105 cm. The narrower or wide can be less convenient.
- If the kitchen is very small, but, nevertheless, the gatherings of friends on it often happen, a transformer table can be a way out. The dining table of this design in a folded state occupies a minimum of space, but if necessary, it can be decomposed and thus get from 2 to 6 additional
-
The shape of the countertop. It is also necessary to choose it, starting from the parameters of the kitchen. A universal form is considered rectangular, it approaches the room with any features. By the way, for a small kitchen, it is the rectangular shape of the table that is the most suitable, because By moving it to the wall or putting it in a corner, you can save space.
A good solution is a square table, its only minus is the lack of the possibility of a large number of people. If you purchase a larger square table, then this problem will disappear, but a new one will appear - the inaccessibility of some plates.
The best option for spacious kitchen premises in which every meter is not necessary to save are oval and round tables. It is better to install them in the center, and then they will emphasize the design and decoration of the kitchen and create an atmosphere for laid -back communication. In addition, at a round table having one support, you can seize much more people than, for example, for rectangular or square.
-
Features of the structure. Dining tables for the kitchen can be ordinary and transforming. The usual ones are not laid out in any way, and the transforming can be laid out, move apart, lean back.
The dining table is increased due to the additional board built under the countertop.
Salpted tables are usually called coffee-eating. They can increase both up and to the sides, so they are suitable for meals and reading.
The folding structure, which is popularly called a "book", is very convenient. In the unfolded form, it is a table, and in a folded state - a nightstand.
The choice of table design should depend on the design and interior, on the availability of free space and on personal preferences.
-
Material used for production. Any kitchen furniture in general, and the dining table in particular, should be made of materials that are not afraid of water, steam and temperature changes.
- However, it all depends on where this piece of furniture will be located. If in the very room of the kitchen, then the material should have the above characteristics without fail. But if the table is in the dining room, and the impact of adverse conditions on it will be minimal, then you can choose less stable, but more beautiful.
To date, the choice of materials for the manufacture of furniture, including kitchen tables, is extremely large. Of these, the most commonly used are the following:
-
Chipboard. Very popular due to its cheapness, but, unfortunately, a short -lived one.
-
MDF. Also known to everyone and are loved by many. In terms of quality, it is better for chipboard and, subject to careful handling, can last a long time.
-
A massif of a tree. Environmentally friendly material, durable, practical, unusually beautiful, but also the most expensive. It fits into any interior, suitable for any style except high-tech.
-
Glass. The glass dining table is distinguished by beauty and convenience. It is easy to care for, not subject to deformation and moisture. True, when moving plates along the countertop, a not very pleasant sound makes.
-
Artificial and natural stone. Exclusive tables developed by designers are usually made from it. They look luxurious and emphasize the status and exquisite taste of their owners. Oddly enough, artificial stone is in great demand than natural, in view of the fact that it is more reliable. Stone tables have a huge weight, so before installing you should weigh the capabilities of your floors.
How to enter a dining table into the overall style of the room
Before buying a table, dining or any other, you need to think about whether it will correspond to the given style of the room.
If the dining room is decorated in the spirit of minimalism, then the Wenge table with a glass countertop will perfectly fit into its appearance. Classic dining rooms imply the presence of heavy oak items of furniture covered with varnish and decorated with carvings. In a room decorated in the Provence style, a light white table decorated with a pattern will be more than appropriate. The high-tech style does not accept wooden objects, furniture in such a room should have fragments of glass and metal.
In order to successfully choose the table suitable for all parameters as possible, you need to use the following recommendations:
-
The white color of kitchen furniture is considered universal because it is suitable for most styles. The white table looks light, elegant and sophisticated.
-
Light furniture is the most preferred option for rooms with limited space, because Able to visually expand it.
-
But in the dining room in the presence of a large amount of free area, heavy massive furniture can be installed. It is better to choose the color for her classic-dark brown. Such furniture looks majestic and noble.
-
In the square room of the dining room, a round table located in the center looks best.
-
For not a wide, but long kitchen, it is best to choose an oval or rectangular table.
How many legs should have a modern table
Surprisingly, this question is no less important than the choice of form, stylistics and material of the countertop.
-
The option is very convenient when the countertop supports the only support located in the center. People sitting at such a table will be able to arrange the limbs, without drinking neighbors and without clinging to the legs of their knees.
- Rectangular tables with two legs located on the short sides look visually neat and not bulky. But in reality, they are often not very convenient because People sitting from the side of the supports cannot conveniently place their feet, which means they experience discomfort for food or tea drinking.
-
Tables on three supports are most often round. They are convenient, have a beautiful appearance and make it possible to convenient the location of people from all sides, but at the same time they are not very suitable for rooms where free space is limited.
-
Tables with four legs are a traditional and most common option. During those years during which they are not in abnormal demand, four -legged tables have already become a classic. This is because they are universal and suitable for most rooms.
