Modern kitchen tables

Modern kitchen tables are a variety of models, shapes, colors, materials and structures. Features of the current fashion in its versatility, a rich choice of offers, which takes into account the individuality of the buyer. If one person prefers only glass tables and does not want to abandon them for the sake of fashion, another likes a tree, a rough texture, a deliberate rejection of “smoothed” decorativeness. Both that, and another - quite in a modern style.

They were and remain at the head of the TOP. Simple, classic, expensive models from an array or rough, as if they were standing on the veranda of our great-grandmother for about 70 years - fashionable ideas can be very different. Let's go over the trends.

They do not need additional decoration (tablecloths and napkins), since the wood itself has a high natural decorative effect.

Pluses of wooden furniture:

• natural beauty, uniqueness of the wood pattern;
• moderate wear resistance;
• impact resistance;
• warm and pleasant surface;
• the possibility of restoration.

Cons of wooden furniture:

• heaviness (though many just like it);
• high price (if it is an array);
• special care as needed;
• if the wood is lacquered, it may darken over time.

The shape of the wooden table (as, indeed, of any other) must correspond to the size of the ennobled space, must be “consonant” with the design.So, in a free kitchen you can set an oval or round wooden table, in a tight - square.

Rough wooden models for the kitchen came into fashion either completely without painting and polishing, or painted, as if carelessly, with scuffs. The fashion for such tables is partly due to the fact that they serve as a photophone for instagrams. Today, many maintain accounts on this network as commercial sites, and photo requirements are growing. So the textured wooden table serves as a wonderful background. Some rudeness is regarded as naturalness, as a love for the natural, not specially decorated, living its own life.

Many fear that the beautiful glass surface is fragile, but this is a deceptive impression. In fact, it is very durable, because such a base is made of tempered glass. In that case, if your kitchen has a minimalistic design or is decorated in such a modern style as high-tech, the glass table will be organic in it. It will emphasize all the rigor and geometry of space.

But the undoubted minus of glass furniture is soiled: spots and fingerprints remain on them constantly, problematically wiped off the surface. If the table is fully or partially matte, with a decorative coating, it will not be so noticeable. You can use stylish durable napkins that will reduce the degree of soiling of glass models.

Dining tables with granite and marble countertops are also relevant, although they will not be in harmony with every kitchen. It seems that it can be stronger than these products, but they are not the most durable. They are quite easily scratched, chipped, destroyed by acid and spilled drinks. (fault, for example). But nevertheless, stone tables will be stronger than wooden ones, but it’s hard to say what looks more interesting, more beautiful.

More recently, a quartz countertop was a rarity - today it is a frequent order for the kitchen. Modern styles and hi-tech already ranked as classics became the best basis for the introduction of such countertops in the kitchen. They are produced in different colors. The quartz table has high scratch resistance, dirt-repellent properties, and thermal resistance.

The choice of furniture dictates the space, namely its shape and dimensions. If you design it in a classic, then the rounded table will be complementary to it. Such furniture, as a rule, is placed either in the central part (against the wall in the corner or along the free wall).

The round shape of the table is psychologically considered the most correct for the family: It attracts household and guests, unites, helps to feel comfortable during the meal. Finally, the round table is considered a kind of symbol of warmth, comfort in the apartment. It is convenient to arrange trays and plates with dishes on the surface, at this table fits more people. The most popular type of furniture is wood.

Often an oval-shaped table appears in the kitchen. There will be more space for it than for a round one, but in modern spacious apartments there are conditions for this. If the countertop “stands” on one leg, then an oval object will fit in a small kitchen.

A square table is most preferred when it comes to small spaces. In this case, small models are acquired, because overall tables will look awkward in a small kitchen.

Finally, a versatile, popular always rectangular table. It is placed in the middle of the kitchen, placed along a window or wall. Behind it you can fit a lot of people.

Now people do not learn the secrets of ideal design from fashionable interior magazines - the main platform for ideas has become the Internet, including social networks.

You can just see what kind of kitchen environment is popular right now by simply typing a simple tag on the social network, after which a scattering of inspiring photos appears.And they demonstrate an important sign of the times - the kitchen table is rarely empty and self-sufficient, people like to decorate it and make it more alive.

For this, many interesting elements are used.

• Vases with flowers. A classic option, but today you do not need to wait for a holiday or summer season for a vase of flowers to appear in the kitchen. Dried flowers, all-season plants, bunches of lilacs and even compositions from fir branches are used. This sets the mood for the kitchen space and the home as a whole. In the fashion of retroidea, for example, on New Year's Eve, it is on the kitchen table that there is a vase with spruce branches decorated with viburnum and various holiday paraphernalia, and next to it there is a vintage candy can filled with goodies from childhood.
• Fruit makers. Simple and two-story, in retro-style and home-made, crystal and bamboo - there are a lot of options. In order to always have the sun in the kitchen, several large oranges should always lie in the fruit bowl. By the way, psychologists claim that oranges in the interior help a person fight seasonal spleen caused by a lack of light and cold.
• Mini teapots, teapots, sugar bowls on a tray. The fashion for sterile clean, freed even from salt shakers surfaces in the kitchen is leaving. Today, spaces filled with life are interesting - beautiful cups and teapots in plain sight, tin elegant boxes with cookies, etc.
