Corner computer tables

The corners of the room can rarely be used effectively. Usually they are empty or they put tubs with plants and other decorative things that can only be used as decorations and not otherwise. Ordinary furniture in this position loses some of its properties. With the advent of corner furniture, it became possible to use square meters more rationally. If an adult or child needs a workplace, then a corner computer desk would be the best option.

Advantages and disadvantages

In addition to saving space, this table has several other advantages:

  • Suitable for both small spaces and spacious ones where it is necessary to select a work area.
  • Multifunctionality - serves as not only a computer desk, but also a written one, as well as a place to store a large number of things.
  • Ergonomic parameters, a special shape of the tabletop contribute to the fact that a person takes the correct posture, less tired.
  • Thanks to the special organization of departments for the placement of equipment and other items, it saves time and more effectively performs its work.
  • Since there are always walls in the corner, it is possible to build sustainable desktop structures.
  • A wide range of models makes it possible to choose not only a convenient, but also an aesthetic option.
  • Compared with conventional models of the same area, the obvious advantage in price. This is due to the use of fewer materials.

The disadvantages include:

  • It is necessary to arrange the monitor rationally so that the place behind it does not remain unused.
  • Because of the need to sit face up in a corner, there may be problems with lighting.

Types and models

Depending on what type of computer is used, the tables are divided into the following types:

  • for stationary computers;
  • for portable (laptops, tablets) of different sizes, with or without a keyboard.

On this depends on the table equipment, providing access to outlets. Programmers often need not one monitor, but two and compartments for special equipment. In addition, in a large family you can find almost all types of devices.

By configuration, they can be:

  • Diagonal (more compact, but because of the great depth in them it is impossible to install the boxes).
  • With docking sides (right and left), giving the opportunity to sit facing one of the walls.

Right-sided and left-sided, as well as models that dock at a right angle, are more convenient, since they provide more opportunities for organizing the internal structure. The corner element with the docking part can be covered with a single tabletop, while the side parts forming a right angle will always have different tabletops and the junction between them.

The joint is processed and made almost imperceptible, but for someone it may be a slight drawback.

In addition to the above models, there are options:

  • simple;
  • modular.

Simple options consist of a frame and a table top and can be completed with a shelf for the keyboard, a compartment for the system unit, a monitor stand, shelves for disks and books, built-in drawers. Modular, in addition to all of the above, can be equipped with retractable thumbs, all kinds of add-ons in the form of a rack or cabinets.In addition, such a table can itself be part of a modular furniture system with an attached case for clothes or a bookcase.

Share models:

  • for kids;
  • for adults.

For children it is very important to have a large working surface for writing assignments and a shelf for storing textbooks and notebooks. And the time spent at the computer, you need to carefully monitor. TO

In addition, children grow rapidly - helping to solve this problem will be growing models.

Transformer - a special kind of tables. Conventionally, they can be divided into:

  • surface-changing worktops;
  • with adjustable height. Most often, you can change the height with the help of special legs, less often there is a special frame or complex mechanisms. In any case, it significantly increases the cost of the product.

Ergonomics

A table, like any other piece of furniture, should be comfortable. This requires the observance of some nuances:

  1. The location of the monitor depends on the design of the table. It is better if he is at arm's length, if this is not possible, then at a distance of at least 40 cm. His height should be at eye level.If necessary, you can use a special stand.
  2. When working with the keyboard, the arms should be bent at the elbows and placed parallel to the surface. The keyboard should be at a distance of at least 15 cm from the edge so that the brush does not sag and the main load goes to the area closer to the elbow. The same applies to the mouse - you can purchase a special mat with a stand.
  3. Feet should be placed under the table completely, it is better if it is possible to pull them out. Knees should not rest against the boxes. Better if the package will include a stand.

  4. To maintain the health of the eye, you need good lighting, additional lamps can be embedded or overhead.

  5. Department for the system unit should not be too narrow (to prevent overheating) and impede access to connectors, wires and sockets. Floor layout of the system unit is impractical.

These tips will help you not only work productively and not feel fatigue, but also maintain the health of the musculoskeletal system and avoid problems in the future.

Dimensions

Dimensions of the product will depend on the purpose for which it is intended:

  • If a person uses only a computer, then the tabletop can be quite small - just to fit the monitor (and the modern options are quite wide) and place the mouse next to the keyboard. Thus, we get a minimum of 60 cm. And the width of the compartment for the system unit, so that it does not overheat, should be 25 cm. Thus, there is 35 cm to accommodate the legs - rather narrowly. Therefore, if you plan to spend at least 2 hours on the computer, choose a wider model.

Especially in triangular models, the minimum along the edge of the working table top should be 110-120 cm. If this distance is less, the monitor will have to be installed closer to the edge, since it will be bounded by walls. Everything is simpler for the area of ​​written works: when writing, the elbows should not hang down, so for children the required minimum is 60 cm, and for adults an average of 110 cm, depending on the build.

  • If you plan to install some office equipment, then provide for it a place on the table top or in a niche above it.
  • The standard depth is 60 cm - it is explained by the installation features of the sliding elements. If you save space, the table may be already, in this case, the keyboard should be carried out on a special sliding stand.The system unit can be positioned along.
  • Typically, the height from floor to tabletop of different manufacturers varies from 73 to 80 cm. The superstructure should not be too high, since it is assumed that all things can be taken out of it without getting up from the chair.

Forms

The main ones are:

  • triangular (designed for one place);
  • L-shaped (for one or two people maximum);
  • U-shaped (you can accommodate several people).

The triangular shape is basic. At the base there will be a right angle, and the hypotenuse may be in the form of a straight line, an arc (concave or convex), a broken line (with edges). The leading edge of L-shaped and U-shaped forms can be with straight or rounded corners. Their ends can also be rounded.

The streamlined semicircular and undulating models look unusual and less traumatic, but they have their own characteristics:

  • They are usually of greater depth and take up a lot of space.
  • Installing built-in boxes and accessing internal communications is difficult.
  • The wave-like tabletop can be supplemented with curved facades, but not all materials are suitable for this.
  • Under them you can install round or semi-circular pedestals.

Models in which parts fit at right angles take up less space, they have ample manufacturing possibilities. We can say that this is an economy option.

Materials

For the manufacture of computer tables use:

  • Solid wood (pine, oak, beech, birch, ash) is rarely used mainly because of its high cost. Wooden tables always look solid and stylish. Hard rocks are durable and long lasting.
  • Rugged glass (tempered). Mainly used for countertops. It can be transparent, satin, specular, tinted or dyed. And also with patterns and photo printing.
  • Metal - The profile thickness must be appropriate. Models can be shiny, matte or colored. Worktop on metal frame and forged supports - the most reliable option.
  • Different types of plastic (transparent or color) are applied both to surfaces, and to separate parts.
  • Laminated chipboard - the most budget material. It has good resistance to external influences. The edges are edged in color.
  • MDF with all its features different affordable cost.The veneered material is very similar to wood. The film coating gives a large selection of colors and textures with imitation of natural materials (wood and metal), glossy, matte, monophonic and with drawings. Enamel options have such an important advantage as the possibility of restoration.

Trendy colors:

  • White - is the most popular. The furniture looks stylish, fresh, adds volume and light. Contrary to stereotypes, modern materials do not absorb dirt and do not require special care. Moreover, dust is less visible on light surfaces.
  • The contrasting black color is exquisite and fascinating, it can be combined with white or other colors. Glossy coating is particularly impressive.
  • Natural wood colors never go out of fashion. An alternative to white can be shades of "oak sonoma" and "bleached oak." A contrast will be "wenge".

Colors

The color scheme depends on:

  • material capabilities;
  • accommodation;
  • individual preferences.

The color range of some materials (for example, wood) is more modest than that of others. Therefore, if you want any special shade - pay attention to enamel or film coatings.

If the room is narrow and dark, it can be expanded visually with the help of a light interior, while for well-lit rooms one can use all the color diversity. If the windows of the room face the north side, warm shades will do, but do not mix them with cold ones.

The product can be monophonic or combining two or three colors (for example, orange-brown). The main thing is not to overdo it, as some species (for example, green or purple) combine well with their own shades and neutral colors. If you show imagination, then such a table will be a reflection of your individuality.

Design

Even a discreet interior can be decorated with bright memorable detail. For example, facades with an interesting pattern. With the help of images on furniture and other thematic items, you can create an interior dedicated to the hero of the film or a famous person. This is suitable for people who are passionate about something, fans or fans.

You can lighten the design by replacing the wide support with an elegant tube. And the superstructure should be located only on one side and replace the blind facades with transparent and open niches.And you can do without add-ons and internal filling, shifting the storage function to other pieces of furniture. In this case, we obtain a concise object, in which there is nothing superfluous. Such an option would not be boring if you add brilliant elements to it.

Original hanging table will look. The main thing is a sense of proportion, compliance with the load and weight of the objects standing on it and reliable fastenings. Creating the illusion of fragility and weightlessness - such a goal is pursued by glass surfaces on a thin metal frame.

For lovers of moving or frequent rearrangement of furniture, we can recommend a table with a turning part, easily turning from straight to corner.

Styles

All the classic directions in the design of corner computer tables are rarely used. Baroque options (massive, gold-plated, carved, pilasters) will look a bit ridiculous in combination with office equipment. Low-profile laptops are more suitable for them. In addition, the "palace" directions draw spacious apartments, where there is no need to take into account square footage.

Art nouveau that appeared much later took the best from the classics.Its distinctive features - the rejection of straight lines, naturalness, smoothness, minimal decor. Facades and surfaces are smooth. The supports are gracefully curved.

Provence (or French country) is distinguished by a large number of decorative details, paneled facades, and plant motifs. Modern styles (for example, hi-tech) use more modern materials, which means they have more opportunities to create a bright, brilliant, and memorable image. Although among them there are more restrained. In the style of minimalism, although there are bright colors, but they are uniform and supported by the severity of forms.

How to choose?

Follow these tips, and the result will delight you:

  • Make sure that the angle at which you are going to put the table is straight. If the angle is sharp, it will simply not fit there, and if unfolded, there will be gaps on the sides. You can, of course, order a table with a non-standard angle or even make it rounded, but it will cost you much more.
  • Another important criterion is security. All materials, paints and coatings should not emit harmful substances. If you doubt it (for example, the product has a strong smell, and the paint remains on your hands) - ask the seller to show you the certificates of conformity.
  • Do not save on accessories.Let the boxes be with closers, and the shelf comes out easily and without squeaking. Pay attention to fasteners - it is better to use screws for gluing. And let them be seen in glass models, but you will do without injuries.
  • In order to make sure of the convenience of a particular parameter, sit down at the table and imagine your everyday activities. When ordering on the website, be sure to consult with the seller or try a similar option in the store.
  • If this product will be used by several people - select the universal, most comfortable height or models with the ability to adjust.
  • It is necessary to properly evaluate the practical and aesthetic value. When choosing furniture for children, pay attention to durable, scratch-resistant materials that do not absorb different types of paint, ink and glue, as well as dark colors of the table top. Cleaning them should be simple and easy. But at the same time, we must not forget that a beautiful product will bring more pleasure, which means it will increase efficiency.

Where to put?

Corner table for the company can be found not only in the apartment, but also in the office, educational and medical institutions, banks and other public places:

  • If there is a separate spacious office in the house, then a special place in it, of course, will occupy a table with a simple design that adjusts to fruitful work. Such a model will be indispensable for a narrow room, which can be converted into a small but cozy office.
  • If there is no separate room - the table can be placed in the living room. The main condition - the furniture should be stylistically similar. Since this room in many houses is a passageway and not only family members, but also guests have access to it, it will be nice to be able to place the screen so that the data on it are not visible to those present.
  • The bedroom is a special place for rest and relaxation. Therefore, the design should not attract attention, and the placement should bring thoughts about unfinished business and work.
  • The hallway, if, of course, allows the footage, is also quite suitable for installing a small model. In addition, a place to work at a computer can be embedded in a niche or a pier.
  • In the life of a modern schoolchild, a similar subject appears already in the first grade, therefore it is necessary to remember to observe all requirements. In addition, the appearance is important - it should motivate, not repel.If you have two children, then an elongated version will do.
  • In addition to the location in the house, it is important to determine the location in a single room. If the table is next to the window - this is a definite plus. It is better if the light will fall to the left or front. The disadvantage of this arrangement is that the batteries are usually located under the windows: it is uncomfortable to be near the heater, a window sill may interfere. When calculating the dimensions, it is also necessary to take into account the opening of the door and the location of the sockets.

Brands

One of the important stages of the selection process is the study of the market and reviews of manufacturing companies. You can find furniture from Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, Belarus. If the important criterion in the selection of models is their price, you can consider domestic factories that have long been using foreign technologies and are not inferior to them. Companies that protect their reputation, carefully select raw materials, and their designs are tested for strength.

The most popular among them are:

  • "Stoplit";
  • Shatura;
  • "Lagoon";
  • "ThreeYa";
  • Rinner;
  • AS-M;
  • Vitra;
  • Mebelain;
  • Vita mebel;
  • "Mebelson";
  • Olmeco;
  • Rado.

If you are not satisfied with the proposed range, you can make a table to order on individual sizes.As a rule, in any self-respecting organization there are managers who will help to make your dreams come true.

Modern ideas in the interior

Today, many people associate their lives and professional activities with computer technology, and for this they need not one, but two monitors and other types of portable devices. To maximize square meters, you need to choose a compact model.

They are opposed by large-sized models with a long working surface, on which office equipment with a massive superstructure can fit in - an ideal storage system for documents, books, textbooks and stationery.

Modular furniture, so popular now, could not bypass computer tables. Becoming part of the furniture system, the table looks especially organic, and the transition section smoothes the difference between elements of different depths.

One of the parties can act as a partition, for example, when you need to separate the working area in the living room. Such a design move is especially convenient because it can be changed without special expenses.
