One of the most important furnishings in a home is the table, primarily the kitchen table , which serves to share moments of conviviality. Choosing it carefully is therefore essential to have a truly welcoming and tailor-made home. The kitchen tables
How to choose the kitchen table that best suits your needs
The best way to make your selection is to consider a few key factors. On the one hand, the dimensions of the kitchen and the intended use of the table must be taken into account: whether it is also a worktop or whether it will only be the table on which to have meals. Secondly, we have to ask ourselves how many people we need to sit around that table. The first choice to make will therefore depend on this, namely the one relating to the size of the kitchen table . If the space of the environment in which the table is to be placed is rather narrow, but at the same time you would like to have the possibility of inviting a certain number of friends to dinner, a very practical solution consisting of extendable tables. The extendable tablesthey are a design invention that, as they say, combines goat and cabbage. These kitchen tables do not constitute an excessive clutter during everyday life, but if necessary they can be expanded to accommodate a greater number of diners. The extendable tablesthey are available in many different variations. There are those that have central sections to add, others that have side wings. Extendable tables are also very practical if they are to be used as a work surface. On the one hand, you can set the table for dinner or lunch with the family, and on the other hand, leave all the tools you are using exactly where they are. Sometimes, however, it is not easy to get a precise idea of ​​the real size of a table, even if you take the measurements with a tape measure. A very useful trick is to use pieces of cardboard that simulate the size of the table you intend to buy, but taking care not to place them on the ground but to put them at the height that the table could hypothetically reach. In this way it will be possible to have a more precise impression of the future dimensions. Once you have decided on the size, all that remains is to choose the style. In this case, it is enough to rely on your own taste, and obviously also on the furnishing of the rest of the house. If you have to buy a new table for an existing kitchen, obviously you will have to choosekitchen tables that are in line with the rest of the furniture. For example, for a traditional kitchen you can choose a wooden table , light or dark depending on the dominant color in the environment. If the furniture is modern, plastic or Plexiglas tables or glass tables could be preferred . Living room tables
The second type of table that anyone who owns a house with large spaces may need to buy is the living room table . Usually a living room table performs a different task than the kitchen, although it could also serve for a dinner or lunch. The living room tableand in fact a representative table, the one on which to serve tea to guests, or to talk about business with a colleague. So the living room tables usually have, unlike the kitchen table, not a rectangular shape but a round one. The round tables had fallen into disuse a bit in Italy but are now making a comeback because they greatly encourage conviviality, due to their circularity, and also help to reduce clutter, because the rest of the furniture can simply go around it. Again, obviously, the dimensions depend on two factors. The first is the size of the living room itself: if it is quite small, and perhaps already full of other furniture and furnishings, you could opt for a table with a central leg. If, on the other hand, the space available is greater, you can opt for larger lounge tables. The glass tables are very elegant, whose shelf leaves the underlying floor visible, and which can be embellished with a central pedestal in marble or wrought iron. Also in this case the final choice is dictated by the rest of the furniture style. For example, one of the most popular trends of the moment is that of shabby chic, which is well suited to a living room decorated according to this style. But with living room tables you can also be daring in your choices, much more than is allowed to do with kitchen tables . For example, if your home favors a contemporary and minimalist type of furniture, you could choose a colored plastic tablebriskly. Or, if the environment is very cluttered with objects and you want to try to lighten it, you could opt for a coffee table entirely in glass: not only the shelf, but also the support. The garden tables
Finally, we come to the garden tables , which offer greater freedom of choice from the point of view of style since the garden can also constitute, in the domestic environment, a corner in its own right. It is not necessary that you necessarily remember the style used to furnish the interior of the house. Instead, what you are bound by in the choice of garden tablesare the materials. They must in fact be sufficiently robust and resistant to withstand bad weather; otherwise you will have to take care to repair or cover them during the bad season. With respect to size, the same goes for the kitchen tables and living room tables. The size of the table depends on the size of the garden, on the type of space you want to give. Consequently, you can also choose the shape: rectangular, round or square. The materials that are mostly used for the outdoors are wood, obviously treated appropriately, wrought iron, plastic, but also wicker. Wicker is a very elegant choice, to be favored especially if you decide to buy a rather small table, which mainly serves as a support base for the dishes, perhaps during an aperitif outdoors. Regarding wood, plastic and iron, here are the pros and cons of each choice. The wooden tablesthey are certainly the most beautiful to be seen in an external environment. They can be either in solid wood, or in lighter wood, such as banana or teak. This second option allows you to easily transport them indoors. The only drawback is that these tables are quite expensive, while the plastic ones are considerably cheaper. Another advantage of plastic tableslies in their extreme practicality. Easily transported indoors when winter comes, they can only be cleaned with a little water, they are light. But normally they are not very nice to look at, unless you opt for design choices, in which case the cost will also increase. Finally, wrought iron tables are certainly the most elegant and prestigious solution, with another advantage, namely their long life. There is no exaggeration by saying that an iron coffee table is practically eternal. But iron tables are very expensive and heavy, so moving them can become very complex.
In conclusion, the choice of tables, whether they are kitchen tables, living room tables, or garden tables, and bound by the surrounding environment only as regards their size. Regarding materials and colors, the choice is simply dictated by personal tastes, given the enormous range of possibilities that can be found on the market. Of course, however, it would always be good to make a choice that is in line with the rest of the style of the house.
