The quality of wood used is an array of oak, beech, ash - the most durable and expensive breeds that demonstrate amazing properties: resistance to temperature changes, or the touch of warm, hot, cold dishes. It is worth knowing that almost every model of a wooden table has an additional coating that protects the surface from deformation (swelling, swelling).

  • The bosom looks like a tree with a smooth texture. Bubbles are created by mixing wood chips and polymer resin, due to which it has a smooth surface and light glossy shine. By its properties, it is close to a non-natural stone - durable, inexpensive, resistant to mechanical and temperature effects.
  • The round glass table top looks airy in the interior of modern kitchens, so it is chosen for small rooms: transparent glass has the ability to reflect light and visually expand the space.
  • Laminated chipboard and MDF should be attributed to a separate group of materials in spite of the fact that wood, or rather, its chips, was used as the basis. Externally, these countertops are unlike wood, rather resemble artificial stone or practical plastic with a glossy surface. The low-cost version will be chipboard material - lightweight, durable, with a long service life, but requiring tablecloth flooring.
  • To create an original round tabletop, natural stone is often used - an eco-friendly and durable material, often marble.Despite its strength and power, marble is capricious for kitchen circumstances - it easily absorbs dirt and is difficult to clean from stubborn stains (coffee, wine, fruit and berry juices, vegetables).
  • An alternative to natural will be artificial stone - light, inexpensive, practical and safe.

For a classic interior, “English”, “Provence”, “Country” it will be appropriate to have a round table on one leg - elegant, thick, with elements of thread or ornament. It is good, if the table-top and chairs will go a set in one color and with identical decorative elements.

Design solutions

Dark shades of the tabletop are organically combined with light walls in the kitchen or dining room, creating a contrasting space.

Dark colors and wood look more appropriate in a strict English style or provenance with elements of luxury and chic. Equally well dark furniture is suitable for creating classics familiar to us with natural wood in the main decoration of furniture, and to save on the purchase, you can choose veneered MDF as a table top - it will become its basis.

A white round table top made of plastic or chipboard (MDF) will be appropriate in a spacious bright dining room with panoramic or large windows; chairs it is important to choose in the format of furniture - light, geometrically correct and elegant.

At the same time, the color of the textile seats can be selected based on the concept of the room: for the Provence format, any muted tones like lavender, powdery, soft blue will do.
