Tables with photo printing - modern kitchen furniture

In an effort to create an atmosphere of home comfort, creative design has no boundaries. Virtually any view on the furniture leads to the appearance of a new design technique. Take at least the tables with photo printing: modern furniture for the kitchen looks extraordinary due to a special decorative reception. These accessories are able to instantly transform the space, setting the desired tone and mood.

Tables with photo printing are associated with kitchen furniture, but in reality their area of ​​application is wider. These accessories can be dining, bedside, coffee. The difference between the models is in shape, height, size and purpose.

All the tables are united by the presence of a unique pattern on the surface of the tabletop, with which you can:

• support the desired stylistic design;
• unobtrusively zone dining space;
• make the room the right mood and temperature;
• demonstrate the individuality of the interior composition;
• create comfortable and pleasant conditions for eating;
• make the kitchen homely.

Photo printing is applied in several ways:

• by means of a special printer on a glass surface with subsequent image polymerization under ultraviolet rays (the picture, after hardening of the inks, gives the surface resistance to mechanical damage);
• in the form of a film or fabric with a pattern inside the tabletop, consisting of two glass plates (durable technology, thanks to which, with a strong mechanical effect, glass, if broken, will be glued together);
• through sandblasting technology with a special gun, stencils and quartz sand (the image cut on a metal, rubber surface or film is moved onto glass, processing the contours with sand);
• directly onto the film, which is fixed from the bottom side of the glass tabletop by means of an adhesive layer or using an additional adhesive composition (three-dimensional image not subject to abrasion).

In addition to the glass surfaces, the print is applied on the countertops made of MDF and plastic. Moreover, using different types of material (classic or stained glass), you can achieve an unusual effect. If the surface of the tabletop is glass, self-bonding is glued to the bottom (you can use a material without glue base with the effect of attraction).

Glass tables with photo printing have a lot of advantages. They can be square, round, rectangular, oval, differ in straight or curved supports. These accessories are:

• manufactured according to new technologies on professional equipment, which ensures high quality products and high performance;
• are comfortable furniture, providing a comfortable location for users, taking into account the height and area of ​​the table top;
• recognized as a bright accent of the room, which can be used as an ensemble with the support of chairs in the same style and design;

• they are not limited to the design theme; they provide an exclusive image to order for a specific size of the table with preliminary processing in a graphic editor;
• can be an integral part of the furnishing of a specific design, combining with skinal (kitchen apron) or the facade of a kitchen set;
• have a rich color spectrum, allowing you to create a harmonious combination of the color of the picture with the tone of the walls, facades of furniture, paintings, panels, decorative objects;
• recognized as durable furniture, which is characterized by a long service life, resistance to surface damage, mold, rot, has rounded edges, which protects users from injury;

• depending on the design ideas, they differ in size, style and size of the print, allowing you to visually change the space of the kitchen, bringing light into it or emphasizing existing light spots;
• they are not distinguished by the complexity of the design, due to the lack of mass of fasteners and hinges are resistant to breakage, do not move on the surface of different floor coverings, have a non-slip type of tabletop surface
• easy to clean: the surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth, cleaned, washed;
• are affordable furniture, which can be bought by each user, taking into account their taste preferences and the budget available for the purchase (cost from 9,500 to 15,000 rubles).

On this furniture, the food cools faster, which has been repeatedly noticed by users.Dishes on such tables can be placed freely when moving it. no scratches are formed, even if held over the surface with a spoon or fork. However, it is unacceptable to put dishes on a scale with this scope. It is impossible to carry heavy objects on the surface: it can lead to the appearance of scratches, spider webs, visible in the sun.

Despite a number of positive qualities, kitchen tables with photo printing have several drawbacks. They:

• fade in the sun like a tablecloth or oilcloth (if located in the most illuminated place of the kitchen);
• in some models have a weak film, unprotected from the effects of aggressive chemicals, coloring agents that make up the juice, wine;
• accentuate any fingerprints that are visible on the surface, therefore, in order to maintain perfect cleanliness, they need thorough care;
• have significant weight due to the table top itself, so it is inconvenient to move this furniture alone.

The surface of glass tables with photo printing is cold, which is far from being pleasant to everyone.

The main material of the tabletop is glass. That it plays a decisive role in the print effect: due to it, the picture looks volumetric and fascinating. This material brings lightness and airiness to any space, smoothes out a difficult situation. And the pattern is interesting: the shape of the model does not affect the degree of massiveness, even thick glass does not look cumbersome and heavy.

More often for the case of tables they use metal, plastic and wood. Of these, steel and wood materials (MDF) are more reliable. By the way, they determine the style of the room: the tree and its derivatives to the classics and the familiar interior, the metal is harmonious in modern design. Support for this furniture is quite reliable: their diameter is 5-6 cm, the most common design is chrome, brushed steel and gold.

Less often, the legs are made of gray and black moire and metallic. Their number depends on the form: the models with a round tabletop often have three supports, the rectangular and oval ones have four.

As for plastic, it is impossible to put it on the same level with the previous raw material: even taking into account the special manufacturing technology, it can break away from the main part with a significant mechanical effect.

Plastic table is not practical.

The uniqueness of kitchen tables with photo printing is that they are appropriate in many stylistic decisions. If desired, they can be entered in the classical or ethnic direction, although they look more interesting and airy in modern designs. The most interesting solutions are styles:

• Art Nouveau - design with emphasis on fancy shapes, sophisticated carving and wood trim;
• pop art is a youth style with its inherent glossy texture, bright contrasts and acid flashes;
• Postmodernism - energetic solutions, the pivot point of which is creative freedom, originality and vigor of color;

• Provence - provincial-French grace with a touch of vintage;
• Rustic - harmonious unity of natural materials with the latest technologies;
• techno - rigorous geometry with a mass of metallic accents and urban colors;

• futurism - freedom of space, brightness and functionality;
• fusion - making interior composition of conflicting components;
• high-tech - comfort, convenience, combined with the latest technology and ease of form;

• eclecticism - a combination of differently styled things by means of texture, shape, color;
• eco - plenty of color and a bet on natural materials.

Worktop design varied. Design techniques are expressed in the use of different techniques. The surface can be matte, glossy. The image is often applied to the entire area of ​​the tabletop, although, if required by the style, the picture can be located:

• in the center (usually in round models);
• in the locations of users;
• on four or two sides;
• in one corner;
• in two angles located diagonally.

The most interesting theme of the combination are monochrome shades made on tinted glass. This may be a modest flower with curls or white pattern with dark lines.

Color contrasts that are most in demand among customers include:

• floral motifs (standard reception with a symmetrical arrangement);
• fruit (a great way to support a kitchen apron);
• imitation of natural materials (wood, cork, bamboo, tile, marble);
• abstraction (stains, colored splashes, chaotic lines);
• stained glass paintings or ornaments on a transparent background (flowers, geometry, and others).

The location of the image is different and depends on the model. In classical models the print is applied on a table-top. More creative tables with a shelf under the tabletop are often decorated differently: to impart brightness and volume, the lower shelf can be painted in a bright color, while the upper one is decorated in one or two places with contrast with a simple pattern. Other varieties may have a transparent top and a colored bottom shelf.

Tables with photo printing receive different reviews. Most of them are positive: users note the originality of the idea, the brightness of the furniture, calling it stylish, colorful and practical, not inferior in quality and performance characteristics to wood counterparts. Users note that when buying you need to purchase models exclusively from thick tempered glass, it is better to exclude from the list of products with a decorative film coating: it is afraid of temperature.
