Table decor: creative ideas

It is impossible to imagine a modern interior without such a piece of furniture as a table. Depending on its functional purpose, the table can be dining, computer, magazine, office, toilet, etc. This piece of furniture is so firmly established in our interiors that sometimes it seems that he is able to perform an extremely practical function.

However, designers offer a variety of original and creative design ideas for the armaments, which will easily allow turning even the most boring model into a real work of design art.

You can start with the design options for a dining table, because the main area of ​​the family hearth is the living room. Here in the evenings everyone pulls like a magnet, adults and children rush to share how the day was lived.

• You can cover the dining table with a bright tablecloth, and this simplest solution will cause stormy delight to all who gather at dinner. And you can experiment and guarantee a real sensation if you decorate the tabletop with flowerpots with bright fruits: grapefruit, oranges, lemon, lime. Your home will immediately convey a sense of celebration. A non-standard thought would be to put vases with cones, berry branches, candles in glasses.
• Or arrange a real “challenge” - pour water into a large bowl, drown bright pebbles at the bottom and let the petals of large flowers float over them: roses, peonies, tulips. Together with fragrant boats you can dip and bright green leaves. Here you have a pond in the center of the dining space, so charming that no one wants to get up from his seat!

• Such a “reservoir” can be replaced by another design, created by one’s own hand. For example, invent a slide with dessert, a “fountain” of juices, a pyramid with sweets or a painted matryoshka with an edible surprise inside. Such a decision will charm loved ones! On a special occasion, the dishes are placed on organza, satin, silk.Such a wonderful metamorphosis will shake the whole family!
• If in the living room, besides the dinner, there is also a kitchen table, then in the spirit of new trends it can turn out to be glass. Here, the use of the tablecloth is inappropriate, it is necessary to achieve the effect of reincarnation by selecting special wooden, plastic or stone supports. Stylistically, the correct solution would be to use rugs with elegant patterns, woven and cloth napkins, which are well in tune with the glass.

• The real space of your imagination can be provided during the "reanimation" of a wooden written rarity. If the old table is preserved from a good tree, then you should not send it to the cottage. The restored main subject of the study, decorated with a new polishing or self-adhesive film, will last for a dozen years, and it will look absolutely exclusive. And you can also replace the accessories on his curbstones and drawers. You yourself will not recognize your long-lived and you will never trade it for a new-fledged edition version!

• It is worth to envy the owners, who had a bright table with a silver pattern.You can repaint it yourself without tension and get a great vintage-style toilet option. Unusually suitable for such a restoration technique craquelure and soft beige paint.
• The decor of the coffee table will be interesting to create with the help of natural materials. Chestnuts, dried leaves, bamboo, even acorns will do. On the edge of the tabletop can weigh a heavy bamboo stick. Decorate the ends using twine, it is best to attach it to a hot glue. Then thickly coat the entire structure with varnish. Inside for exotic place, for example, corals. Upstairs as a "sarcophagus" - glass.

• With a design approach to business from the old table, you can construct a kitchen version in the Provencal style. To do this, it is enough to screw the more textured legs and cover the surface with a powdery tone of paint.
• Ideas of reincarnation is easy to find for a computer desk. You can originally reinstall the old shelves with books, so that the workspace for the monitor or laptop expands. There will be the effect of a new fashion purchase.

There are many materials for such creativity.These are stained glass, tile, painting, mosaic, other components of your artistic impulse. If you want to breathe new life into an old object by means of a tile, then the work is completely doable with your own hand. It is necessary to stock up on elegant tiles, it should be smooth, then it is easier to glue it, provide a special glue, a form made of plywood to the size of the table top, and, in addition, wooden corners and grout. The plywood is fitted to the upper surface, glued and left to dry completely.

Further work continues as if the tiles were laid on the floor. Tiled elements are placed on the glue on the plywood according to a preconceived scheme in order to get a nice pattern. The seams are gently rubbed over. Before you prepare the mixture to improve the joints, it is necessary to read the instructions. Something that will be superfluous must be removed with a dry cloth.

A unique author's work looks like an object reborn for the interior with the help of stained glass paints.In this technique it is best to work on a glass surface. Acrylic paints are ideal for this. The process is to lay out a pattern using patterns and gently apply paint. Pictures, of which there are many in the network, are suitable for the sample, as long as their lines are clear.

If the shabby piece of furniture is successfully repainted, it will become the unique accent of your room. You can perform a single color, and you can mark the geometric shapes - squares, combinations of stripes, apply a pattern on the stencil. It is better to pick up an ornamental motif, having completely trusted your taste. Then get a more romantic interpretation of the artist's intention.

To mark a geometric pattern, you need to stock up with a simple pencil, sandpaper, ruler, primer, paint on wood, brushes, masking tape. If color spots are conceived too large, it is better to use not a brush, but a sponge. It is used along with a small roller.

Before repainting it is worth deciding what color range you will stop at. In the kitchens organically look white models. In the living room a table full of multicolor becomes the decoration of the room.

As raisins can be used shades of yellow, red, turquoise or "spontaneously" multi-colored tables. The last sentence only at first glance looks "too" abstract. But in reality, the product does not tear your eyes off of it - in front of you is a luxurious "Northern Lights" on the surface of old furniture!

Masters and artists who have decided to change the interior of a familiar room beyond recognition are advised to master the technique of artistic painting. It is necessary to choose an ornament, prepare dry herbs, putties and begin work. Suddenly, you can look African motif, which is decorated with hem or openwork napkin, lined in the center. Everyone is ruled by fantasy and fiction.

Red, yellow and black are suitable for underlining African style. Lace needs to be sated with more gentle color scale - a white, silvery, blue shade. You can decorate a model like bead embroidery.There are special acrylic paints with a pearl shade for such a case.

To transfer the design to the surface is best stencilled. It is easy to get it, if you put a sheet with a picture on cardboard (you can put it on an ordinary folder) and hold it with a sharp knife on the ornament,

First, it is necessary to degrease the field of activity with an alcoholic “chatter”, draw a dotted markup and then start working with paints. To paint turned neat, it is better to practice a little on paper. To complete the task, masking tapes are used, and sometimes - just a runaway flight of fancy. This is called friform decoration.

In general, artistic painting vividly emphasizes individuality. Even by focusing on two colors, only necessarily contrasting ones, an incredibly original result can be achieved. Many people like to paint tables with plant elements, and someone puts turtles and dragonflies on the cabinets. Refresh the table well with a fine brush.

This is a decoration of furniture with fabric and paper drawings and giving them a special cracking effect. Paints, varnishes are used, an interesting solution is obtained in the sense of color.

The preparatory stages are:

• remnants of old varnish are removed from the surface;
• sandpaper smooths the surface to perfect smoothness;
• put acrylic primer;
• gives time to dry.

Then photos, paper napkins, dry leaves, flowers or special decoupage cards are laid out. Everything is “cemented” with varnish in several layers, and under such a coating an incredibly fantasy, unexpected “plain” appears.

For the experiment, you can glue the decorated surface with bright fabric, even wallpaper. But here waves and swells are unacceptable. Even buttons with colorful hats are suitable for decoration. Everything is easy to do with your own hands. Step by step it is beautiful to decorate a table with a decoupage by any beginner artist-restorer.

The technique allows you to get a stylish or vintage piece of furniture from a dilapidated copy. If, on the contrary, you are impressed by the aging of the furniture, then cover your rarity with keraeleur lacquer.Drying, it guarantees the "cracked" surface, the effect of the emergence of "the web of past years" on the tabletop. The same “age” is also easy to achieve from the table legs for completeness and harmony of the ensemble.

To understand which mosaic will suit your table, you must first unfold it without sticking. Pieces can be anything. It is easy to get them by breaking the previously unnecessary ceramic product. Perfectly suitable for sea-related seashells or beautiful pebbles. This picture is laid out more complicated, but the beauty turns out to be extraordinary. Glue is applied to small areas, the fragments are glued one by one. Grout on the seams is better to apply with a brush.

The elements used are tiles of glass, mirrors. Drawings from them is not easy to create. But the decoration will force your old table to sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow and give a solid celebration.

• As well as in the interior, minimalism can be used in the decor of the table - it is emphasized simplicity.
• A table in the style of futurism - with mysterious, fabulous "deviations" - meets the objectives of the children's room.
• An ambitious painted copy is considered to be an ampir and "show" in the living room.

So, the work is finished. Time to invite guests to rate your design and be surprised by resourcefulness. It seems that there is not so much effort, but there is so much warmth, newness and joy in the house!
