Select the size and structure of the table
Matter how big kitchen, it depends how big dining set you can afford. If the square meters no problem, then your hands are untied - we can take at least a group of twelve people. However, it is undesirable for such areas to put a small table with a couple of chairs, even if the family consists of only two people. A vast area too modest dining set just get lost, and it will look ridiculous.
But in a small room will have to smash his head, that the whole family could fit a small table with comfort.
For such a compact kitchen is perfect table for 4 persons. Sliding it into the corner, you will reduce the capacity of 2-3 people, but precious little free space.
Find the right model can be in the range of IKEA. In the catalog there are many interesting models in different price categories:
- 3000 p. - Inga, Olmstad, Terendo;
- 3-8 thousand. R. - Lerhamn, Byursnes and Thorsby.
Perfectly suited to this situation, sliding tables. IKEA is the most comprehensive family of:
- Byursta - 15 models of relatively inexpensive desks made of chipboard covered with ash veneer. The range includes all of the most popular forms of sliding tops (circle, rectangle, square). Under this series perfect chairs Nornes, Borne and Henriksdal - they can also be purchased at IKEA.
- Glivarp - interesting sliding tables with chromed steel countertops made of tempered glass. In the unfolded state have a length from 115 to 188 cm. IKEA recommends that you use the original model with chairs Preben.
- Ingatorp - three absolutely not similar to each other table model in white and black. Here luxury and round table tops with hidden insert and compact dining tables with folding floors and drawers for small items.
Very few places are occupied by the tables, cabinets Norden in solid pine. IKEA catalog offers them in three colors - white, black and natural.
Cantilever design, planted on the wall fastener loop, too, can solve the problem of lack of space in the kitchen. At IKEA, such models are presented tabletops widths up to 90 cm at a reasonable price - no more than 3000 rubles.
tabletop
Earlier this part of the table cloth was always hidden, and in addition to a flat surface do not require it. In modern apartments countertop dining group became part of the interior decoration and cuisine. So now she has to meet the requirements of beauty and practicality.
Material
It determines not only the appearance of the table, but also its durability, and most importantly - price. So we have to decide for themselves what is more important: inexpensive, but quickly comes into disrepair plastic, or a really high-quality table, but for more serious money.
Will play its role and conditions of use of the dining room table. If the kitchen is enough other furniture, and for him only to eat, you can choose a relatively inexpensive countertop veneered chipboard or a variant luxury of precious wood. AT small kitchen where a dining table no, no, yes, and will have to be used as an additional work surface is better to stay on a strong tempered glass or made of artificial stone.
The form
This parameter plays an important role in shaping the look of the kitchen, and sometimes in the layout of the entire premises. If the kitchen work area is different smooth lines, the countertop should be chosen with the same rounded edges. Even if this is the standard table, the corners do not have to be clearly defined.
The flowing lines of the table are perfectly combined with a wooden texture. The glass and chrome look much better or rectangular small round table tops.
Depending on the shape of the table, and determine its location in the kitchen. For countertops, characterized by straight lines, no restrictions: it is equally well be located in the middle of the kitchen, and the wall, and even in the corner. But the original Round and oval tables We need more space.
Select the table chairs
Selection of chairs should be given particular importance, as it depends on them, how comfortable would sit at the table, and whether the dining group look harmonious. IKEA problems with the selection does not arise - in the directories for each piece of furniture are offered suitable options for creating a single set. But some options to pay attention all the same necessary.
dimensions
First, you choose the right seat height. Too low chair at the high table, first, not be allowed to have neatly, and secondly, will not allow sitting comfortably sitting legs. High design (if it is, of course, not talking about the bar stools) is also undesirable, as it is necessary to lean over the table and the whole dinner sit hunched at all. Ideally, the chair seat should be at the height of his knees, then his feet will be convenient to bend at right angles.
It is also important to take into account the width of the seat, especially if the house is large people live. The optimum width of about 30 cm, but if it is more comfortable to sit still will.
Pay attention to the backrest height - the higher it is, the better the chair supports the spine. Especially good if not a straight back, and ergonomic, that is, repeating the contours of the body.
The range of goods from IKEA all these requirements are met by Ingolf classic chairs, luxury model with a touch of oriental Kautsbi series, as well as trendy and Wolfgang Wilmar.
Material
To the kitchen was cozy, chairs material must be "warm" - wood, natural fabrics, earthy tones. That's what a homely Algustorp chairs from IKEA store.
The use of plastic allowed in bold modern interior, but it should be a material of very high quality and durable enough. Transparent models look futuristic and expand the kitchen space, it is not overloading the interior. But this is only a visual effect, so that the dimensions for such furniture is not less important than for the traditional "visible".
Metal frames of dining chairs will fit into the dynamic design of cutting-edge cuisine, but to expect from such furniture create a home atmosphere is not necessary. Maximum - a cozy cafe.
Design
On a standard kitchen chairs with no tricks structures is required. But if we are talking about compact room somewhere in Khrushchev, it makes sense to save some space. For such dishes better to choose a folding design - after the meal, they can be folded and thus release a fair amount of living space. Especially good use of such a model, complete with folding table. Then decked dining group and all will not interfere with the movement in the kitchen. Large assortment of folding dining designs you will find in IKEA stores.
Reliability
When children are present, stability and durability of the furniture is of particular importance. Even high kitchen chairs are quite stable if their legs are slightly angled to form a trapezoid. Reliability increases and reinforcing ring rigidly fixed to the inner surface of the legs. Moreover, it increases the "carrying capacity" of a chair to 60%, while the standard design surely maintained total 100 kg weight.
Chairs for the kitchen is better to choose a strong, but not too heavy: it will facilitate the process of cleaning the hostess.
We achieve harmony in the interior
Design tables and chairs dining area must comply with the general idea of kitchen design. Only in this case, a group of furniture would look harmonious continuation of the interior, not a foreign body. To not make the wrong choice, you need to choose the right materials - they must be combined with the furniture wall of the working area:
- Bright plastic and glass facades suitable for glossy laminated MDF or colored glass lakobel. All these elements are bold and challenging areas such as the avant-garde in design, pop art and do not require excessive decor minimalist interiors.
- Wooden sets perfectly with the matt surfaces, even if they only mimic the texture of natural wood. This classic interiors and areas gravitating to the natural materials of country style.
- Shiny patina or table legs and chairs perfectly complement the wall of the kitchen with an abundance of metal finishing. High-tech in all its diversity and variations prefers such models.
"Befriended" dining group with the rest of the room will help properly chosen color palette. It should be separated from the general kitchen design basic colors and their relationship, so to say, balance. Then you can select tables and chairs depending on the color. This may be to support a common color or vote for one of the contrasting colors.
Tip: If the interior decided to beat a particular color, it is better to chairs different from the countertop to one or two colors. This will avoid merging surfaces and unnatural effect "dollhouse".
