Transforming tables for living rooms

Transforming tables for living rooms - ideal for both small rooms of one-bedroom apartments, as well as for large and spacious rooms in huge homes. They themselves are universal and have a number of undeniable advantages.

Many manufacturers claim that their products are the very best. However, in fact, regardless of the country of origin, all transforming tables have common qualities, advantages, advantages and disadvantages.

Any such table saves space. - regardless of its original size, due to its transformation, it will be able to replace several pieces of furniture to you, which, accordingly, saves this very place. From which follows the second great advantage of such a table - its versatility, versatility. He is able to replace several tables (dining, coffee and writing, for example), and sometimes chest of drawers or pedestals and play completely different roles.The third plus is profitability, - follows from the previous two - you also pay for one piece of furniture, and you get several.

It is impossible not to note the beauty and conciseness of such tables - they look appropriate in virtually any interior, which makes them another plus.

Conventionally, transforming tables are divided into two types of functionality:

• May vary in size and size. As a rule, they are laid out or moved apart due to the presence of an adjusting mechanism, for example, books, in the case of which a raised tabletop opens an additional section below, which can be used to store dishes or serving devices. One hand movement coffee table to turn into a dining or vice versa. Another option, which changes the size of the tabletop or the height of the legs, will help in case of unexpected guests or the presence of small children at home who cannot sit high.
• May vary by destination. due to the presence of multifunctional hardware or console.They are of the greatest interest, since they can change their “roles” in the interior - from the coffee table to the bollard, from the bollard - to a full table for working with papers. This is a very versatile and functional option.

Separately, also distinguish the types of tables in terms of functionality:

• Coffee table-transformer. Most often used for the living room, a little less - for the bedroom. This option is good because, even when folded and takes up very little space, it is able to fold into a sufficiently sized dining room. This is a great option in the case of the arrival of guests or if you want to arrange a small feast.
• Transforming table for the kitchen. Its advantage, first of all, is in saving space - a sufficiently large number of actions and movements usually take place in the kitchen, and overly bulky furniture will not be appropriate there. But a small table-stand for furniture, folding into a table for six to eight people, or a tabletop built into the wall would be quite suitable options.

• Tables-console. They deserve special attention, as they can be presented in the form of a dining table, as well as a place to work at a computer or even a small dressing table-stand.They can be added, sliding, wall, have sliding designs, can be independent and separate or join other subjects of an interior. Can be additionally equipped with mirrors, shelves or lamps.
• Tables cabinets. They are distinguished by a huge number of shelves and branches, they can even be used for storing unused chairs or as a stand. Often have retractable countertops or changing the height and width of the boxes.

You can find transforming tables made of various materials or their combinations.

Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, and it is worthwhile to analyze them in more detail:

• For example, wood products are notable for their increased strength, durability and reliability. Most tables are made of beech and oak, and cherry and walnut are considered the most expensive. Oak is a non-allergic material, it serves for a long time; These tables look great and fit into virtually any interior, they are authentic. However, it was not without drawbacks: for example, price, instability to burning and temperatures (which also means that you will need to use various coasters for hot dishes), susceptibility to mechanical damage.
• Tables of laminated chipboard (chipboard panel) wear-resistant. They do not fade, they are easy to clean and do not need to do it often. They are very similar in appearance to wooden tables, but much cheaper, they are easier to create and construct, process, paint.

• MDF is very similar in properties to particleboard, differs from the latter only in the method of production - resin is added here for bonding. It, like the chipboard, is completely safe, comes in a huge amount of colors, it also has one weakness - susceptibility to swelling with long exposure to moisture. However, one way or another, these two materials are still considered the most democratic in price, the ratio of its quality and the most honest.
• Products from glass look, certainly, smartly. They are also durable because the glass is thoroughly calcined. Moreover, glass tables are an excellent interior decoration, they are perfectly combined with other glass elements of the decor, for example, photographs in glass frames, candlesticks or lamps. Unlike all artificial materials, the glass is extremely moisture-resistant, durable, does not break - since there are no joints on it, the product is made from a whole piece of glass.
• The tables of steel are very light, because the elements from which they are made are hollow.

Transformer tables occupy a special place in the minimalist interior and interiors in the high-tech, techno or fusion style. They really look very practical, which fully embodies these styles and is a real decoration of the interior, especially considering that the bright and intricate details are inappropriate here. They can be made of glass, chipboard or metal, and the form must be strictly geometric - a rectangle, a circle or a square. Should be deprived of unnecessary fanciful details, and shelves and drawers - as hidden as possible.

Tables made of wood, very authentic fit into the French style Provence, characterized by modesty and charm. In the case of this style, various small details will look very appropriate - bouquets on the table, a combination of wooden and artificially aged furniture, a large number of shelves, thrown over the tables of the tablecloth and napkins. Properly selected transforming table for the interior in Provence style is very convenient, as it combines both the functionality necessary for this design and elegance.

For a classic interior is characterized by a combination of restraint and elegance with relief and large details. Transforming tables here should be made strictly of wood (maximum - glass countertops or inserts), shelves and drawers are suitable, especially with gilding, any other significant surface or reliefs.

When choosing a table-transformer, focus primarily on what you are going to use and what it should be transformed into.

To determine this question again pay attention to the types of such tables:

• For example, if you want to get a good coffee table, at which you can also dine, pay attention to the tables, which vary in size and size - you do not need a table that can be transformed into a dresser or cabinet.
• By the way, in the case of buying a transformer table for a child or teenager, it is better to stay on the table with the presence of multifunctional accessories. In the presence of children, it will also be convenient to adjust the height of the legs.
• Also remember that the size of the transformer table changes - when folded and unfolded it occupies a different place, which, of course, must be taken into account when buying.
• If we focus on the manufacturers and the country, then German transforming tables are famous for their quality. They are functional, durable and neat, they serve for a long time and have a nice design - they are sold both in Provence style and in minimalist style.
• Italians and French are adherents of elegance and high prices; it is in the collections of these producing countries that you can find transforming tables of the most amazing shapes and sizes, made from expensive tree species.

Transforming tables - truly versatile, they fit perfectly into the interior of any room.

For example, very often they are used for living rooms. It can be either a small coffee table with a retractable design for working with a computer or papers, or real tables-cabinets with a lot of drawers and compartments for storing various items.

The tables with transforming legs look very stylish, especially for futuristic, minimalist interiors and high-tech interiors.Often these tables also have wheels, which increases their functionality.

Special mention are large transforming tables, which are used both in living rooms and in dining rooms or kitchens. As a rule, at such tables the table-top is moved apart and increases in size due to the specialized mechanism or retractable additional legs.

In the case of a nursery, such a table can save a lot of space and also teach the child independence: of course, at first he will not be able to disassemble and assemble it himself, but, seeing how the parents do it, he will learn and understand how important it is to the thing lay in its place in the drawer intended for it.
