All the subtleties of the choice of tables and chairs

• Furniture for kitchen and dining room. Tables and chairs, intended for the most part for eating in the appropriate areas of the apartment or house. This does not mean that such furniture should not be beautiful and stylish. Although you should remember about the convenience and practicality. Often for dining rooms are purchased tables complete with chairs. In this case, all the pieces of furniture will be in the same style. However, combinations of styles are possible.For example, a combination of a wooden table and elegant chairs on the metal frame.

• Furniture for the rest. Tables and chairs for the living room, hall, bedroom should be comfortable and emphasize the style of the room in which they are located. Upholstered chairs are suitable for these rooms. Tables can be of different styles and sizes, depending on the design of the room. Often in such rooms small decorative coffee tables, or tables on elegant forged legs are used. Worktops made of transparent or colored glass or colored glass mosaic are very popular.

• Children's furniture. Furniture for the children's room should be the appropriate size. Your child should be comfortable using them. Strict and elegant style is also inappropriate here. In addition, children's furniture should be easy and safe. It is better to give preference to light tables and chairs made of PVC. Such furniture is quite durable, does not require special care.

• Garden and country furniture. For arranging the plot near the house, the most suitable are modern wicker chairs and tables. Preference is better to give artificial materials. Outdoor furniture is exposed to the sun, moisture and temperature changes. Natural materials are poorly preserved in such conditions, quickly lose their strength and beauty of appearance.

In the modern market of furniture products from a variety of materials. For the manufacture of tables and chairs are most often used:

Interior items and furniture made of natural wood never go out of fashion. This material is environmentally friendly, which is important for those who appreciate everything natural. Due to the variety of wood species and various processing technologies, pieces of wood furniture have a huge variety of styles, colors and shapes. And the compliance of this material made of wood makes it possible to embody the most bizarre ideas.

The most inexpensive option are tables and chairs made of pine. It is quite strong and light wood. Thanks to the processing of the material, coloring and varnishing, pine furniture looks stylish and beautiful.

More expensive and popular options are oak and beech. Tables made of beech and oak are usually solid, bulky. They are placed in large dining rooms or halls. Wood has a predominantly dark color.

Most tables and chairs made of artificial materials have a lower cost than those made from natural wood. Modern production technologies are able to give artificial materials greater strength and make their appearance quite beautiful and stylish. Often, artificial furniture in appearance imitates natural wood.

The most common material for artificial tables and chairs is plastic. PVC furniture is made in various styles, has a large scope. Often, plastic tables and chairs are used in dining rooms and kitchens. As children's furniture. PVC furniture is a good option for arranging a garden plot or gazebo. Stylized PVC tables and chairs can decorate the living room design.

Metal furniture is also quite popular. It can be forged, elegant heavy furniture. Or lightweight chairs and tables on the metal frame. The combination of metal legs and a glass table top looks original and stylish. Forged furniture is suitable for rooms decorated in a strict classical style.

Artificial rattan (tehnorotang) is similar in properties to polyvinyl chloride. It is an elastic artificial material from which tape, rods or profiles of various thickness, length, shape and color are made. The rods are tightly intertwined and folded into a piece of furniture. Tables, chairs, chairs, stools and other types of small-sized furniture are made of artificial rattan.

Due to its resistance to external factors and strength, such furniture is often used in the garden or in the gazebo. Unlike metal or wood, tehnorotang products are very light. The use of various weaving technologies allows you to create elegant and interesting style options.This furniture is suitable for dining, stylish armchairs can equip the living room or bedroom. Easy table and stool are well suited for a child's room.

Furniture can be made by hand. One of the simple and affordable options is to make garden furniture from ordinary wooden pallets or, as they are also called, a pallet. The solid surface of the pallet can provide a good basis for the table top.

Pallets are sold new or after use. In any case, it is a very inexpensive and affordable material. Having picked up the pallet of the necessary size, or having corrected the size of the future table-top, having cut off excess parts, it is possible to start production of a little table or a small shop for a garden site.

First of all, the surface of the pallet must be well sanded, covered with paint or varnish. Further, depending on your wishes and imagination, legs are attached to the tray-countertop. However, it can be rollers, then our product will turn into a small stylized coffee table.

The legs for a homemade table can also be made independently, for example, carved out of wood.You can buy ready-made metal or plastic legs of the desired size. If you have old broken furniture, chairs or tables, you can remove the legs or rollers from them.

Showing imagination, you can make a garden chair or a small bench for a gazebo out of pallets. In this case, the pallets themselves can serve as the basis for the design.

An important role in choosing a furniture model is its size. This affects not only the appearance, but also the comfort and convenience of using the table or chair. Furniture of improper size does not fulfill its function and becomes useless and uncomfortable interior detail.

By answering these questions, you can decide which height, length and width will be correct for each piece of furniture.

For example, you need to choose a table for the kitchen.The first thing you notice is the dimensions of the room itself. The table should not take up too much space, block the passage and interfere with the free movement of the kitchen.

The second important point is how many people will have lunch at this table at the same time. Eating should be convenient, for each person at the table should account for 60 centimeters of free space. Otherwise, the meal will turn into a continuous pushing with your elbows and tilting your and other people's dishes.

The next parameter is the height of the table, a matter of course purely individual. Furniture factory-made height, usually standard. According to GOST, it is 75 centimeters. This height is derived from the average height of adult men and women. Naturally, this standard does not apply to coffee and decorative tables.

However, if the table in your dining room or living room is used by several people, everyone is unlikely to please. Even members of one family are far from being of a single height, what can be said about guests and their children.

In this case, it will be more convenient to pick up chairs of different heights, or to have small seat pads for children to use. Putting such a pillow on the seat of a chair or chair, the child will be taller and it will be more convenient for him to sit at the still high table for him.

For very young family members, you can purchase special children's chairs with high legs.

The color range of tables and chairs is infinitely varied. This follows primarily from the variety of materials. Modern manufacturers are well mastered and are constantly improving the technology of processing and painting products, so that the furniture does not suffer from the scarcity of the palette.

• The direction of art deco is distinguished by unusual and bold combinations of colors, materials and styles. The same piece of furniture can be made using an intricate mixing of parts. A table or chair may consist of classic and bold modernist elements. In one subject, several seemingly incompatible materials are often combined. In this direction, complete freedom of ideas and bold decisions reigns.
