How to choose a large table?

It is necessary to use large tables for two reasons - or you need to seat a lot of people behind them, or a small modest table in the vast space of the room is visually “lost”. But in both cases, you should choose this piece of furniture carefully, because they still have to use for many years.

Special features

When the goal is set only from time to time to seat the guests (visitors), and there is not too much space, you should use a sliding or folding structure. Successful examples that perform well in a variety of conditions are transformers and “books”. A large table made of wood or glass is environmentally friendly, with proper execution and decoration becomes a real decoration of the whole interior. Enhance the attractiveness by choosing a model with decorative forging and mosaic, as well as with carved parts.

Design and color

A large table is able to demonstrate its aesthetics only in a spacious room, and its appearance, relevance, are determined primarily by form. Geometric configuration should not be underestimated. For the living room it is advisable to choose oval tables. They look much better than classic rectangles. The absence of sharp corners is emotionally more favorable, adjusts to friendly and comfortable communication, and it is safer to use such a table. In kitchens, it is recommended to use round options, especially if there are young children in the house. The undoubted advantage of such decisions is their suitability in any style.

In home cabinets, it’s best to set up large corner tables; a smaller part of the tabletop is reserved for a PC or laptop, and the main one serves as a workplace. Care must be taken to fit the table into the overall setting. So, the lunch group is often made appropriate in style and basic material of other furniture. But the color can be both coincident and sharply contradictory if it is decided to turn the table into an accent detail of the interior.

Classic, Provencal and Victorian design styles are best combined with natural wood, decorated with carved inclusions. Interior high-tech format usually involves a glass structure with legs made of chrome-plated steel. In the Provencal interior, the use of wood, which seems to have faded under the winds and bright sunshine from the sea, is most justified. Preferred colors are ocher, olive and cream, less often use other pastel shades. Pure white color is also acceptable, but it is not very practical, such furniture will quickly get dirty.

Beige and other light colors are good if you want to maximize space. Black color will help get rid of the feeling of excessive size of the room (hall). A characteristic feature of the Scandinavian style will be the use of well-treated wood, creating the impression of maximum quality and external invincibility.

Recommendations for selection

For the dining area used constantly, there are no limitations in style and size. Apart from considerations of practicality and your personal taste, of course.When it is known in advance that most of the time the room will be empty or used differently, it makes sense to choose a transforming table. Be sure to coordinate the appearance of the design with the surrounding interior.

Rectangular tables look good in the same rectangular rooms, but do not forget to carefully calculate the required space. Otherwise, it may happen that there is too little space between the table top and the wall or other furniture for convenient passage. A narrow elongated living room will be better furnished if the table stands across the entire room near the window itself - this will help correct the unwanted shape of the room and not interfere with the passage.

Beautiful wooden tables are appropriate when you make a room in the spirit of country; The use of shaped carving on the edge of the tabletop and metal legs will help to emphasize stylistic belonging. In the modernist kitchen, a glass tabletop decorated with additional elements, standing on weighty legs of natural wood, is acceptable. For kitchens, laminated surfaces are better covered with veneer, as they will not be blistered from the slightest ingress of water.If you have already firmly decided that you will use a tablecloth, you can not think much about the shape of the legs and the color of the structure, anyway they will not be visible to anyone.

Tables and chairs should not be completely identical to each other in appearance, it will create a feeling of faded and inexpressive space. A stylistic coincidence - yes, but not a complete identity.

Materials and their properties

It is important to evaluate not only the aesthetic, but also the practical side of the table being purchased. The slightest inconvenience may be a very serious disadvantage.
