Space: choosing a designer table that is proportionate to the environment

The table has always been one of the most important pieces of furniture in a room, and for this reason, whether it's a living room table, a kitchen table, or an outdoor table, the selection process is a delicate process that requires the utmost attention. The starting point is undoubtedly the space you have available. The table must have a prominent position in the room and, at the same time, must satisfy aesthetic and practical needs.

If it is a dining table or of an kitchen table, it is best to start with the standard measurements necessary for correct comfort of use: height between 70 and 75 centimetres and, in the case of rectangular tables, width of the short side of at least 80 centimetres.

It's also important to consider the surrounding space: it's usually a good idea to distance the table from the walls by at least 80 centimetres.

The Shape: rectangular, square, round tables or more original solutions?

I rectangular tables They are the simplest to position in the environment and also take up less space. round and square tables They have the characteristic of giving all diners the same importance, as there is no head of the table, and they optimize space especially if the table is small (a large round or square table leaves a lot of unused space in the center). Metal. Car. also specializes in the creation of tables of particular shapes (drop-shaped, asymmetrical, etc.) specifically designed for the characteristics of the surrounding environment.

The Material: tables in steel, iron, glass, crystal and wood

Colors and materials are crucial to the final aesthetic impact. Steel and iron structures are suitable for a modern style environment, both for their square shapes and more original lines. Glass and Steel Tables, for example, are classy solutions because they give the room brightness and lightness. Crystal and glass surfaces can also be transparent or decorated to match the surrounding furnishings. Wooden Tables, on the other hand, are more elegant and suited to a classic style. A metal table with a wooden top could be a good solution to tone down the classic tone given by the wood with a polished, matte, or painted metal base.
