The use of white kitchen tables in the interior of the kitchen

A beautiful, elegantly furnished kitchen is the dream of every hostess, because in such a kitchen it will be very pleasant to cook. It is important to take into account everything in the design: decoration, equipment, accessories and, of course, furniture. Hosts looking for versatile solutions often choose white pieces of furniture, because they can be used in almost any interior. One of these mandatory items is a light kitchen table, the features of which will be discussed below.

The dining table is something that no family can do without. White constructions are completely different in shape, size, material. However, they all share similar characteristics. Let's take a look at a few of the benefits of furniture of this color.

• Versatility. The white table will be appropriate in each chosen design, you just need to choose the right shape and material. Such designs are successfully used in classical directions, modern, high-tech, loft, provence and many other styles.
• Neutrality... The light surface is conducive to creativity, and therefore the white kitchen table can be easily decorated with unusual decor, adding brightness to it.
• Large assortment of materials. Depending on the interior design, you can choose tables made of wood, glass, plastic and some other materials.
• The ability to expand space. Due to its lightness and airiness, white color can visually expand the room, which will be an excellent solution for owners of small kitchens.

By design, white dining tables are:

• whole;

• sliding;

• folding.

Products with a solid table top can rightfully be called the most demanded and sold... These tables come in many shapes and sizes. Wood is very popular here, which can be both glossy and matte. In addition, many housewives also love raw models.

Extendable tables will be a good purchase for small kitchens. They can be pushed apart at any time if, for example, guests come. The rest of the time, the table takes up a minimum of space, and it is quite enough for a family of 2-3 people to dine.

The shape of the table is one of the most important parameters to consider when purchasing. There are only 4 main forms, more complex designs are made on their basis.

• Rectangular. This is a classic version of the countertop, but it must be borne in mind that if it is solid, then quite a lot of space will be taken. A family of four will easily fit behind a structure with parameters 90 cm wide and 120 cm long, if there are more people, the width remains the same, and the length can reach almost two meters.

• Square. Another interesting solution, which also helps to save space. Its advantage lies in the fact that most of the time the table can be pushed against the wall, and during the reception of guests it can be moved to the center of the kitchen or living room. The popular size is a maximum of 90x110 cm, larger models look too bulky and appropriate, for example, in spacious halls.

• Round. This form is good because it is easy for all family members to reach for any dish during a meal. Round light tables often become the accent of the entire room, but designers advise placing them in large kitchens, because such a table cannot be moved somewhere. For a family of 4 people, the optimal size will be 90 or 110 cm, but if there are more households, you can choose designs with a diameter of 110 to 180 cm.

• Oval... Like the previous solution, a white table with an oval top would be more appropriate in spacious kitchens. It looks strict and restrained, it can be folding. If up to 6 people sit at the table, choose the sizes 90x140, in case of frequent receptions, it is better to prefer the parameters 90x210 cm.

White tables are made from a variety of materials, and the choice of the right one should depend largely on the stylistic orientation of the room. For example, in classic interiors, only wooden countertops, preferably matte, will be appropriate. A number of modern styles, including high-tech, accept glass, an abundance of gloss, and a metallic sheen. Black and white tables with a glossy surface look gorgeous in modern directions. It is better to leave plastic structures for summer cottages or outdoor areas, where you can breathe fresh air in the evening.

Now let's take a closer look at the materials.

• Natural wood. Natural wood tables are incredibly beautiful, but they are quite expensive. Such tables are an indicator of the taste and wealth of the owners, and with proper care they will last for many years. The wood is usually varnished or sanded, but there are also untreated options. The disadvantage is that bright stains from wine, for example, or juice must be removed immediately, otherwise the pigment will penetrate the wood.

• MDF, chipboard. These are cheaper solutions, but with high-quality performance, they cannot always be distinguished from a natural breed. Glossy looks especially interesting. The wear resistance of these materials is low, since they are afraid of moisture and high temperatures.

• Glass. Despite the fact that glass has long become a familiar material in the interior of various rooms, white glass tables invariably inspire admiration. Tempered glass is very strong, it is not afraid of hot dishes, shocks, humidity. However, scratches are perfectly visible on such surfaces, so the product will have to be carefully looked after. In addition, the large weight of the models is also a disadvantage.

• Plastic. This material has also been gaining popularity lately, since thanks to modern technologies it has become much more stable than before. Plastic is not too susceptible to moisture and sun, but it looks pretty cheap, so these tables are not recommended for sophisticated interiors.

White furniture is, one might say, a "blank slate". Therefore, it can be combined with both cold and warm shades. For example, a white table will be an elegant addition to a kitchen decorated in pastel or cream colors. He will emphasize the elegance of the room. Most of these kitchens are made in classic styles. If you have chosen a modern style, then the decoration of the kitchen can be very different, both bright and calm. In any case, do not forget about adding accessories in saturated colors: these can be towels, potholders, vases, flower pots, figurines and plates. Colored dishes will also be an interesting idea.

The following colors are suitable for modern styles:

• Red;
• yellow;
• blue;
• purple;
• dark pink;
• green.

In high-tech kitchens, white glossy tables with a metallic sheen look beautiful. You can also choose black and white options. Appliances in such a kitchen should be silver, colored dishes are inappropriate. Orange, terracotta, blue colors will serve as bright accents. As for country and Provence, the range should be soft and light. It is recommended to combine a white table with the following tones:

• lilac;
• lavender;
• light pink;
• light blue.

A white rectangular table in a modern kitchen can easily solve the problem of saving space, which can be seen in this photo. If desired, it can be freely moved so that the working area is completely open.

White blends very well with dark interiors, contrasting effectively against their background. This kitchen table can comfortably accommodate up to 4 people.

Exquisitely light colors look against the background of bright, saturated colors. Kitchens decorated in blue and plum colors do not accept bright furniture. But white becomes the best option. Fresh flowers complement this design - they bring freshness to the interior.

The Scandinavian style is famous for its love of simplicity and everything natural. In this photo you can see how well a small white table with comfortable armchairs is placed here.

The light round table is the perfect complement to a classic kitchen decorated in white tones. Such a room will be cool and fresh, and an elegant chandelier located right above the dining space will bring notes of warmth, luxury and romance to the interior.
