Tables with shelves in the interior
A table with a rack invented not so long ago. It was originally intended for offices. Now many people work at home, and this design has firmly entered the home interior as a convenient option for written, computer desks. Being at the computer for a long time, people want to spend it comfortably, which means not only a comfortable chair, but also the opportunity to have everything you need at hand.
With the development of new technologies, everything is becoming more and more necessary: a mobile phone, flash drives, disks, adapters, all kinds of gadgets (well, when everything is in one place). Copying equipment, paper for him, too, need somewhere to attach. It is important to find a place for documents, records and books. If there is a student or student in the house, you can move the laptop away and take lessons at the table. Textbooks, notebooks should be close.In such a situation it is difficult to do without a rack.
How to choose?
The shelf itself, open or closed, is very convenient for you. Unlike a cabinet, it is light, airy, and with an integrated table it will take up less space, which is important in a small apartment. The table and the rack, made in the same color scale, from the same material, look great at arm's length).
Shelf owners know how convenient and practical they are, how diverse they are, and how many things they can fit into them. Modern shelves are not just walls with shelves, they consist of many sections, drawers. The shelves themselves can be of different lengths, arranged in several tiers, even on different walls (in the corner model). In the combination of a rack with a table it turns out a cozy mini-office.
Even before the acquisition of this miracle design, you should decide where it will stand and for what purposes it will serve. Not everyone in the house has its own office, but the abundance of furniture on the market allows you to choose a design for a different taste and for any interior. You can put it in the living room, nursery, even in the bedroom.
Pay attention to the design of furniture that is already in the room.Your new table should harmoniously fit into its environment. Matching the color palette and the material from which the model is made is desirable.
Consider the size of the room. For example, in a small bedroom, a large desktop will look frustrating. But if everything is in order with the meter, then for work the table is better to choose a spacious one, equipped with a rack, in order to organize a comfortable ergonomic space with free access to any technical devices.
Choosing a place for furniture, you need to take into account the number of outlets and the load that they can bear without harm to the safety of households. To avoid overheating, do not place it near radiators. Regarding the windows, it is better to arrange the table so that the light does not blind and not shine from the monitor. The best option if the window is on the side.
The distance from the eyes to the monitor is recommended to leave at least a meter, this should be considered when choosing a tabletop. But at the same time, its size should allow it to reach any object without effort.
If the furniture is purchased by the student, it is better to have a crossbar for the legs.
As for the rack, it is good if it has not the same shelves and compartments for different functions. For example, you can put a printer in large sections, and fill small ones with books, disks, flash drives and other trifles. Not bad, if space is provided for the system unit, speakers.
You should pay attention to the height of the rack. Usually they are designed for a person of average height. For those who like to store a lot of things, you can purchase a high rack, but items of frequent use are best kept on the lower shelves.
How to arrange the workplace?
When choosing a table, especially for a student, one should take into account not only its multiplicity and integration into the design of the house, but also the expediency from the point of view of health.
The following requirements will help to properly organize the workplace:
- the length of the table must be at least 80 cm; this is enough space so that the elbows do not hang down, otherwise the child will have to change his posture;
- it is necessary that the edge of the table (in a sitting position) falls on the area between the abdomen and the chest, such a height is considered ideal. If height adjustment is not provided, a screw chair should be selected;
- the rack should not block the natural light and be guessed by lateral vision. Not bad place the table near the wall near the window. There should be enough space on the table top or shelving for lighting devices in the dark.
The right table is a healthy back and saved vision.
Kinds
There are three main types of similar furniture:
- Corner table most popular. It fits well in a small space. He has a lot of advantages. The table is compact, has a wide tabletop. It is completed with a large number of drawers, sometimes - a sliding bollard. The rack can be oriented on one or both walls. Most often, racks are one-sided, therefore, when buying a corner table, the direction of its rack (left-side or right-side) should be considered. Purchase is carried out on the basis of the selected place in the room.
- Linear table suggests a rack on one wall, but there may be shelves and under the table top. This model has no restrictions on the length and width of the table top, is selected with the orientation of the space of the room. It has a drawer or even several, built-in bottom shelf under the computer and a sliding shelf under the keyboard. If you need classic furniture - this option is the most optimal.Linear table can be both written and computer. The latter differs from the writing only with devices for a computer and its components.
- Small table desk folding top and lightweight superstructure of the shelves is good for a child of preschool or primary school age.
Materials
Most of the tables with shelves are made of materials chipboard and fiberboard. Sometimes the coating is laminated, which makes the furniture more attractive. A table made of such material is durable and stable, it is moisture-tolerant and relatively inexpensive.
But it is rather thick material compared to air constructions made of glass and metal. In the interior with the Gothic style, for example, a graceful metal table with a lightweight superstructure in the form of a rack of several shelves looks good.
Tables made of precious wood look richly decorated with mosaics and inlays. To finish the countertops using glass, natural stone, bone.
If the table of material of interest is not in stores, it can be ordered at furniture factories on an individual project.
Use in the interior
The furniture consisting of a table and a rack, is pertinent in rooms, various for designated purpose.
Hall
In conditions of lack of space, a computer desk is often placed in the living room. In the modern version, the table with a rack is a light unobtrusive design; it does not make the space heavier at all. But to buy the first table you like for the hall is not correct.
Attention should be paid to the repair and standing furniture. The table must match the design decision of the entire interior. Color, the texture of the table, its dimensions are important. It should also take into account the convenience and the working component.
As an option for the living room - a classic table, straightforward, with a small rack, although it looks boring, it will suit any interior.
An empty corner fills the corner table well with graceful shelves that cross onto the wall.
If there is a desire to retire for work, you should allocate a working area with a podium or isolate yourself from the common room with a table with a dividing rack. In the latter case, the rack must be double-sided, that is, look equally good from any side.
Children's
When a place for games and sleep is organized in a nursery, the next step is the improvement of the occupation zone.
By choosing a table in the nursery should be approached especially carefully. The main focus is on preserving the health of the child. The material from which the furniture is made for study, must be environmentally friendly. Illumination, table height - to meet medical standards.
If everything is done correctly, the child will not get tired, fall asleep for lessons or behave restlessly. At the same table he will be able to play board games, engage in creativity. Such a table will be a favorite place for pastime.
It should not be forgotten about convenience. A table with a rack is able to accommodate all the books, notebooks, toys, computer accessories and thousands of other small things that a child can reach simply by stretching out his hand.
It is worth paying attention to the tabletop, it must be large enough to place the monitor at a standard distance, speakers, a desk lamp. During classes, textbooks and notebooks should be placed, and during games - designers and toys.
In most cases, manufacturers today offer tables made of chipboard (wooden products are expensive). This material has become familiar in home interiors. No exception and furniture for the children's room.Of course, you cannot call it ecological, but when buying a table for a child, check at least a certificate from the seller confirming the safety of the product.
And if your budget allows you to purchase a wooden table, it will also serve your grandchildren.
Bedroom
Due to the lack of space, the working area is organized in any possible place at home: in the hall, in the nursery, in the kitchen, in the corridor. There is no exception for the bedroom.
It is considered that the bedroom is not the best place to work. During the day, the bed distracts and disposes to rest, and during sleep the table does not allow to fall asleep, reminds of work. But if you look from the other side, then in the house where the family lives, the most quiet place is the bedroom.
If the choice fell on this room, you should try to create a working area by separating it from the bed with a light partition or a desk rack. It is a rack, and not a deaf closet, otherwise the room will be dark. But if the room is too small, you can leave it as it is.
Saturated with drawers, sections and a large number of shelves, the table "will kill" the interior of a small bedroom. A lightweight rack on a compact table does not hurt. He will help to put all the things on the shelves and the workplace will not look cluttered with the background of the peaceful apartments.
It is not necessary to place the table in the far corner: having found a bedside, you can save money on the bedside table, and put the console, glasses or a book directly on the tabletop.
If the table with the rack is chosen correctly, it becomes a comfortable workplace, a receptacle of many things and a guarantor of order in the house.
