How to choose a dining table for a dining room

Choosing a dining table is very difficult and responsible. Its size, appearance and structure can affect the mood of family members gathered behind it, and the situation in the kitchen or dining room.

Based on which criteria you should choose a diningtable

In the search for a suitable table is very relevant is the saying: quieter you go - you will continue. Indeed, before definitively determining, it is necessary to analyze some aspects and details in order to understand on what basis one can make one's choice.

• Table size suitable for a particular kitchen. There is a universal rule that says that in a small kitchen there should be a small table, and in a spacious kitchen there is a big table. But it should be borne in mind that, ideally, each member of the family at the table should have about 60 cm. Here you also need to add chairs, one for each person.

• To unhindered sit and get up from the table, it should be located no closer than 70 cm from the wall. It is believed that in the average kitchen, the table is optimal from 85 to 105 cm wide. Narrow or wide can be less convenient.
• In case the kitchen is very small, but, nevertheless, the gatherings of friends on it happen often, the output can become a transforming table. The dining table of this design in the folded state occupies a minimum of space, but if necessary it can be decomposed and, thus, from 2 to 6 additional

• Shape of the countertop. Choose it is also necessary, based on the parameters of the kitchen. A universal form is considered rectangular, it is suitable for a room with any features. By the way, for a small kitchen, it is the rectangular shape of the table that is most suitable, becausePushing it to the wall or putting it in a corner can save space.

A good solution is a square table, its only disadvantage is the lack of location of a large number of people. If you buy a square table of a larger size, then this problem will disappear, but a new one will appear - the inaccessibility of some plates.

The best option for spacious kitchens in which you do not need to save every meter 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 easy communication. In addition, a round table with one support can accommodate many more people than, for example, a rectangular or square.

• Features of the structure. Dining tables for the kitchen can be ordinary and transformable. Ordinary can not be decomposed in any way, and transforming people can decompose, move apart, recline.

The dining extension table increases due to the built-in under the countertop of the additional board.

Folding tables are usually called magazine-dining. They can increase both up and down, so they are suitable for both meals and reading.

Very convenient is the folding structure, which in people is called a "book".In the unfolded form it is a table, and in the folded state it is a bedside table.

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 a 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 kitchen itself, then the material must have the above characteristics without fail. But if the table will be in the dining room, and the impact on it of unfavorable conditions 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 short-lived.

• MDF.Too all is known and many are loved. The quality is better than the chipboard and, subject to careful handling, it can last a long time.

• Solid wood. Ecologically clean material, durable, practical, extraordinarily beautiful, but also the most expensive. Fits into any interior, it fits any style except hi-tech.

• Glass. The glass dining table is beautiful and comfortable. It is simple in care, not subject to deformation and the action of moisture. The truth when moving plates on the table top produces a not very pleasant sound.

• Artificial and natural stone. It is usually made of exclusive tables designed by designers. They look luxurious and emphasize the status and refined taste of their owners. Ironically, artificial stone is in great demand than natural stone, in view of the fact that it is more reliable. Stone tables have a huge weight, so before you install, you should weigh the possibilities of your floors.

How to write a dining table in the general style of the room

Before you buy a table, lunch or any other, you need to think about whether it will fit the given style of the room.

If the dining room is decorated in the spirit of minimalism, then the table wenge with a glass top will perfectly fit into its appearance. Classic dining rooms mean the presence of heavy oak furniture items, varnished and decorated with carvings. In a room decorated in the style of Provence, will be more than appropriate light white table decorated with a pattern. Style hi-tech does not accept wooden objects, furniture in such a room should have fragments of glass and metal.

In order to find the most suitable table for all the parameters, the following recommendations should be used:

• White color of kitchen furniture is considered universal, because it fits most styles. The white table looks light, elegant and refined.

• Light furniture is the most preferred option for rooms with limited space, becausecan visually expand it.

• But in the dining hall, if there is a large amount of free space, you can install heavy massive furniture. The color for her is better to choose the classic - dark brown. Such furniture looks majestic and noble.

• In a square dining room, the round table in the center looks best.

• For a wide, but long kitchen, it is best to choose an oval or rectangular table.

How many legs should a modern table have

Surprisingly, this issue is no less important than the choice of shape, style and material of the countertop.

• Very convenient is the option, when the table top supports a single support, located in the center. People sitting at such a table will be able to arrange their limbs without kicking neighbors and not clinging to their legs with their knees.

• Rectangular tables with two legs, located on short sides, visually look neat and not bulky. But in practice they, often, are not very convenient becausepeople sitting on the support side can not conveniently arrange their legs, which means they experience discomfort after eating or drinking tea.

• Tables on three supports are usually round. They are comfortable, have a beautiful appearance and allow convenient location of people from all sides, but they are not very suitable for rooms where free space is limited.

• Tables with four legs are the traditional and most common option. Over the years, during which they enjoy not ceasing demand, four-legged tables have already become classics. This is because they are universal and suitable for most rooms.

Several general tips for choosing a dining table

Before making the final decision to purchase the favorite table, do not hesitate to sit down for him. Listen to yourself, feel whether you are comfortable, whether your knees rest on the bottom of the countertop or in the decorative beam, whether it is possible to conveniently position your feet, etc.

Keep in mind that tables designed for a large number of people usually have a huge weight and, in connection with this, there may well be problems with their transportation from the store to a new shelter. How this will happen, and how much it will cost, also need to estimate in advance.

Before you go to a furniture store, weigh your options and decide how much money you can take away from the budget to buy a table. Consider only those options, the cost of which varies within this amount. Mentally mark a few items that suit you in all respects, and then purchase the most expensive one among them.

If in view of the lack of a large budget, you are not left with the idea of ​​the possibility of buying a cheap model, first determine, due to what the price for it is low. And then decide whether this reason is a defect in your understanding, and if so, do you agree to put up with it for the sake of saving money.

In conclusion, I want to say that beauty and quality do not necessarily have to cost a lot of money. Modern furniture manufacturers are trying to develop options that can suit people with any income. And not necessarily for the arrangement of a cozy environment to remain without means of subsistence, you just need to take seriously the search, take your time with the choice and focus on your own convenience.
