Kinds
The corner model of furniture is divided into several types, depending on a particular parameter.
Depending on the placement, the tables are:
- Diagonal (facing the corner of the room);
- Diagonal-perpendicular (facing the wall).
For the first type, tabletops of the same size are typical, in the second version one tabletop is longer. The second option is preferable for schoolchildren and people who need a lot of items at hand. Often, both the first and second types come with shelves on which it is convenient to store notebooks, books, and even toys. For schoolchildren, such models generally come with footsteps, which represents more comfort when using them.
Depending on the material used, the table is divided into:
- wooden;
- plastic;
- metal;
- glass.
The most popular type are tables from wood plates and the massif of a tree. Such furniture is notable for its high practicality, environmental friendliness, attractive appearance and possibility for restoration. Models of plates are a cheaper option than tables from an array.
More expensive tables are made of oak, white acacia. Such a model is distinguished not only by high strength and service life, but also by the pleasant smell of wood, which will fill the apartment with home comfort and tranquility.
White wood combines perfectly with darker rocks (for example, wenge) and creates a unique appearance of the structure.
Wooden models will be a welcome “guest” in both classic and modern interiors.
Plastic models are furniture that has accessibility, light weight and a presentable appearance. The reliability of the design can give metal inserts and legs. White plastic fits well in a modern apartment. Another such table will be in harmony with objects from other materials.
As a rule, only the frame and legs made of metal have the third appearance. At the same time the tabletop can be made of any other materials. Such a design would be appropriate in a modern interior loft, hi-tech, minimalism, modern. In this case, the legs can be painted white, and may have their original shade. Often such models have an additional sliding tabletop. Such tables also differ in high durability and ergonomics.
Glass tables today are not uncommon. They are chosen for the original design (any pattern can be painted on the glass), strength and versatility. Table made of glass will fit any interior apartment.You can find a combined model, where the tabletop is made of glass, and the legs are made of metal or wood.
Depending on the level of functionality, the furniture can be divided:
- table transformer;
- hinged table;
- table with shelves.
The transforming table is preferable for small-sized apartments, as it can turn into another type of furniture. After the workflow, such a model can be folded into a narrow cabinet for storing equipment. Of the inconvenient qualities worth noting the absence of extraneous things on the surface. Or you have to constantly clean them during the transformation.
The hinged construction, as a rule, is compact and suitable for small spaces. Such a table most often has a floor and hinged shelves. Of the minuses can be noted the difficult dismantling of the table.
Computer furniture with shelves greatly simplifies the use of the workplace. Shelves can store many items that are needed. More on them you can put souvenirs, piggy banks for additional decor. Designs with niches and shelves are a bit more expensive than tables without them, but the capacity of such tables is higher.
Depending on the surface gloss, the models of corner computer tables can be:
- glossy;
- matte.
Gloss for computer tables is not the most suitable surface. But in the presence of shading elements or glossy film of low reflectivity, this option is acceptable. Glossy can be not only plastic or glass, but also wood and metal thanks to modern acrylic film. This model will look harmonious in the avant-garde interior.
Matte surface is more conservative and pleasing to the eye. Therefore, these tables are chosen more often than others, both for office space and for a residential apartment. White matte glass visually creates an image of a light and compact table. Such a surface will also hide objects and items under the table top - wires, shelves.
The variety of types often makes one lose one's choice when buying a table. In order for this not to happen, you need to know the basics of the right choice.
