Location
If your kitchen is spacious, you can vary itboth the dimensions of the furniture and its location. For example, when the entire set is placed along one wall, it is recommended to place the table close to the opposite wall. If the furniture is arranged in a U- or L-shape, then the best place for the table is in the center of the room.
Size and shape
For medium sized rooms it is preferablebuy an oval or round table. The absence of corners will leave more room for maneuvering and will also allow you to seat more people. In small kitchens, round tables are also desirable, especially with a glass tabletop: this will visually expand the space.
Style
The design of the dining table will depend on the stylekitchens in general. Models made of natural wood and stone will suit any interior. Glass can also be used in almost any style, from high-tech to classic. But plastic and metal surfaces will look great in modern design projects.
Table top
It is important to select the countertop materialdepending on the purpose of the table. So, for a table where you only plan to eat, a wooden surface is perfect. For one where you will be preparing food, a plastic one is perfect: it comes into excellent contact with food products and moisture, but keep in mind that it is vulnerable to the effects of aggressive cleaning agents and hot dishes. Stone will withstand not only all of the above, but also moderate mechanical damage. Triplex and metal surfaces are the most durable. So if you like to solder on your kitchen table, then this choice is just for you.
