Small coffee tables can be of any shape. Square and rectangular products are more convenient for the location of objects, but due to the presence of sharp corners can not be used in apartments where young children live. Round and oval tables are perfectly combined with any interior and are ideal for small rooms.Along with the traditional designs, design copies assume non-standard configurations, which allows using this bold approach in the design of modern interiors.

The size of miniature products usually does not exceed the parameters of 50x50 cm with a height of 50-55 cm. The smallest indicator is 30x30, found in models that serve as a magazine or decorative table. For serving or as a stand for a laptop, such products are not suitable. The diameter of the round tables also ranges from 30 to 55 centimeters.

Small coffee tables are made of solid wood, glass, metal, plastic, plexus and MDF-plates. The glass is used extra strong, at least 8 mm thick, which is quite enough for safe operation. The edges are subjected to special treatment, which excludes injury, and the staining of glass in different colors, matting and tinting surfaces make the models very popular and in demand.Glass tables visually increase the room and do not clutter the space, they are environmentally safe and hygienic.

Products from the massif of a natural tree possess special energy and favorably influence the atmosphere of the room. Due to the natural appearance of such models are harmoniously combined with any interior, they are strong and durable, easy to clean and easy to restore. Wooden models can be either lacquered or matte.

In addition to the wood of valuable species, MDF is used in the manufacture of tables. They can have laminated and veneered surfaces. A PVC film is used as a laminator, perfectly imitating the pattern and color of wood fibers. Outwardly, it is not inferior to the texture of natural wood. Veneered surface can not be visually distinguished from the natural, made of solid.

Metal is used in combination with glass, plastic and wooden surfaces.It gives strength to the structure and looks noble in the interior. Through the use of metal elements, it is possible to create transformation mechanisms and folding models.

Before proceeding to the choice of product, it is necessary to determine its functional purpose, as well as the conditions and place of operation. If the product is selected as a serving or coffee table, then you need to focus on glass models. On the glass there are no thermal circles from the cups with hot drinks, and swelling and deformation of the surface from frequent wet processing are also excluded. The dimensions of such models should be in the upper limits of the dimensions of mini tables and be at least 50x50 cm for square structures and not less than 50 cm in diameter - for round ones.

As a coffee table, any square, oval or rectangular model will do. Round designs, especially of small diameter, may not fit the entire newspaper or open magazine and will be inconvenient to read. If the table is supposed to be used as a stand for a laptop,you can choose a bedside model with side sizes of 40x40 cm. Sometimes such products are provided with a backlight and USB ports, which makes their use more comfortable.

Then you should choose the material of manufacture. It will depend on the style and size of the room. For small areas, it is better to choose a transparent glass structure; for children's rooms, a bright and light plastic model. In classical and baroque, a table made of solid wood, lacquered and having a clear pattern of wood structure will suit. For loft, industrial and fusion, the ideal option would be cast iron and iron models with bicycle wheels.

In the gentle Provence fit white wooden model of a square or rectangular shape. For retro interiors, an interesting solution will be a model that imitates a female tricycle from the end of the 19th century, and a minimalist design with four legs and a light wooden finish will suit the minimalism.

When choosing a product in a rustic style, you can pay attention to the deaf table with drawers, resembling a chest. The high-tech will harmoniously look transparent product with chrome legs, and for the modern traditional style fit round tinted glass model with a gold-plated body. For techno you can buy a table equipped with a lamp that will perfectly decorate the interior and will serve as a table lamp.
