Loft-style tables have the following characteristics that distinguish them from similar products in other interior concepts.

• Practicality - the main feature of the style. Table of any design should primarily be focused on a long service life and a small susceptibility to external influences.It should be a solid construction, even if it is only a matter of decor, because at the heart of the loft concept is simplicity and the fundamental nature of the product.

• Convenience in operation not less important. Whatever design the product possesses, it should not cause any discomfort and constrain the position in which the user sits at the table. Since the attic style involves the periodic implementation of permutations and transformations, the product must be easy to move from place to place.
• Functionality. Implementation of not only basic, but also additional functions is welcomed in this direction. Even if the table plays a predominantly decorative role, its surface should be smooth and stable.

• In the priority style loft is natural materials for furniture. In addition to the use of natural raw materials, there is also the design of the tabletop with some degree of deliberate inaccuracy. This does not affect the presentation of the product, and even vice versa, complements the overall atmosphere of the room.
• Laconic decor. Heaps of various decorations and additional prints will break the idea of ​​direction and create the effect of pretentiousness, which contradicts the concept.At the heart of the loft is austerity with a slight amount of negligence, the poet should avoid a large number of accessories.

• Often the furniture is involved in the zoning of the room, so the size and shape of the table should often be chosen based on this additional function that it will perform.
• Freedom of form. Tables can be made using familiar geometric lines and shapes, as well as in more complex and atypical interpretations.
• It is quite rare to see that a loft-style table is pressed against a wall or in a corner. It occupies either a central position in the room, or occupies a free position in a certain part of the room, if it does not serve for zonal distribution.

Depending on the zone of the room where the table is located, it performs certain functions and has corresponding features. There are the following types of products in the style of loft.

• Desktop in the loft interior is usually not piled up with a large number of boxes and compartments located on the sides. It is a rectangular tabletop, which rests on four legs, located directly or intersecting with each other in a cruciform shape. The tabletop may contain an additional compartment that extends from the bottom. There are no additional shelves for computer accessories and accessories above the table plane, because their presence contradicts the concept of style. A peculiar design of the desk will be a support on the one hand in the form of two metal legs, and on the other - in the form of a wooden canvas, which is a continuation of the tabletop. The legs of some desktops are made using this technology, which allows you to adjust the height of the product. Adjustable tables can be adapted to different height of chairs and make workingprocess as comfortable as possible.

• Coffee table - an integral piece of furniture in any living room. In the loft style, preference is given to square products or cubic models. Sometimes the space between the base and the table top is used as an extra shelf for storing small items. The support of the round coffee tables is a one-piece frame that plays an accent role in the product. Made of intersecting lines of metal, it gives the design lightness and grace. An unusual option is a two-tier table, the lower tier of which is made of rope weave. It is not designed to store small items, but it looks very extravagant.

It is important that the table in this style were not too bulky sizes. Since the loft direction means a lot of space in the room, large tables are allowed only in places where they are needed. They are purchased if a large number of people live in your family, and are installed in the dining room or kitchen. In the rest of the rooms, coffee or coffee tables with an elegant miniature design are welcome.

For the direction of the loft is preferable to choose natural materials. They are used both individually and combined together in one product. With a well-chosen combination, you can not only successfully implement the concept, but also create an exclusive piece of furniture. The following materials are popular among the materials.

• Glass often used in combination with other textures.It is used to make a tabletop, which is located not only on a metal base, but also on wooden bars. The concept of style does not allow the creation of products entirely of glass.

• The original solution in the design of the countertop is slab. It is a wooden structure that imitates the texture of the longitudinal saw cut. The tree has a peculiar color relief and stains, emphasizing the natural origin of the material. Such a design sometimes brings piquant carelessness, and sometimes in combination with stained glass inserts gives the interior a highlight.

• The surface of the coffee table is sometimes sheathed skin. This does not mean that the product has a soft surface, usually with a similar plating the clarity of the construction lines and the plane of the table top are preserved. Elements such as coarse stitches and rivets may appear on the leather texture.

• When choosing a table you need to rely on other furniture in the room. It is important to consider the combination of textures and which texture will dominate. For example, leather sofas are best combined with wooden tables.
• Pay attention to the color scheme. In most cases, loft furniture means discreet colors. The table top can be beige, gray, brown or dark. Sometimes the color of the furniture is in harmony with the accessories. So the beige table will be successfully combined with paintings made in pastel colors.

• Depending on how much time and effort you are willing to devote to the care of the product, you need to choose its material. Traces of dirt are more visible on the glass, while wood is more difficult to remove from oily stains.The skin requires very careful care and protection from mechanical damage. For some textures it is useful to choose special means for the care of the surface.

When choosing, consider the fact that most of the tables made from natural materials are not cheap, but the cost varies depending on the particular raw material of the table and how much it was spent. The originality of the product design and the popularity of the brand are also taken into account.

Dining tables are often provided with chairs with a curved back. An interesting example is the arrangement of chairs on one side of the table and stools with leather upholstery on the other. Sometimes used round chairs, with a surface that mimics the felling of a tree trunk.

Sometimes the legs at the dining table imitate the construction of pipes, which are one of the main prints in the interior. Despite some rudeness, this model will look really exclusive.

In order to quickly organize the work area, sometimes they use a transformer tabletop. It is attached directly to the wall using a special mechanism,is very compact and helps to save space in the room.

In the living room, instead of the usual coffee table, items on wheels that are easy to move are often used. Small tables sometimes have folding metal legs and can be removed if necessary. A zigzag-shaped table also looks originally; one part represents a shelf for storing newspapers, magazines and other attributes, while the convex part can be used as the main tabletop.
