Table set: features of the choice (24 photos)

Recently, the very phrase “table set” has gone out of fashion. The “kitchen set” sounds much more familiar - it is immediately clear that it consists of cabinets, a table, possibly a cupboard, and is needed for storing things and for cooking.

The "dining set" sounds ceremonial and festive. To make a living room with it, you need not only taste, but also an understanding of the principles by which to choose components.

What is included in the dining room set?

In the classical style, it is understood that the headsets will include:

• a table as the main uniting part - and no matter what it will be: round, square, wooden or glass;
• chairs as additions to the table - they can be not only chairs in the literal sense of the word, but also soft chairs, and a wooden bench painted in a color pleasing to the eye;
• a buffet as a storage for dishes and a place where you can arrange dishes before they are put on the table;
• a serving table where dishes will be served from the kitchen;
• a large wall mirror that will complete the picture and make it exquisite.

In today's world, however, headsets in the classical style are no longer manufactured as one indivisible whole. Now, to put everything together, you need to select the furniture yourself, carefully, carefully, tastefully, and it is likely that you will have to order something and buy something from different manufacturers.

How to choose a table for a dining room set?

The table, in fact, is more important than the rest of the furniture in the headset. It is to him that the main attention is attracted, it is for him that most of the time guests spend. The basic criteria for choosing are simple.

The form

It depends on how comfortable the table will be, and how organically it will look:

• The round table is safe and looks cozy. However, it is important to remember that the larger the diameter of the table, the more difficult it is to get to the dishes in the center.
• A rectangular table is the most traditional and causes a feeling of reliability and some severity. Suitable for a large room and to create a festive feeling.
• A square table differs little in characteristics from a rectangular one, but is better suited for small rooms - it fits organically into them.

Number of seats

Usually a simple formula is used: you need to add 2 to the number of people in the family and focus on the result. However, if the family expects the addition in the very near future or if it really likes to receive guests, the number of which is known in advance, it is necessary to focus more on these numbers.

Material

From this choice depends on what material all the furniture of the headset will be made of. As a rule, this tree - it is most traditional, relatively reliable, can last for many years. However, you can make a difference: make a glass or marble countertop, decorate it with patterns or drawings. The main thing is that the material is non-toxic, looks good and is relatively reliable.

Design

You can buy a table in a classic style, but this option is not always good. An alternative to it is a transforming table, which in the folded state will be quite small, but in the open it will be able to provide seating for a much larger number of people.Two drawbacks of the transformer - it is not always in demand and breaks easier than a monolithic table.

The table can be covered with a tablecloth, it is practical and will complement the general atmosphere. The rest of the furniture must be selected so that it fits him.

How to choose chairs?

Chairs complement the overall style and make it partly complete.

By style, they can be:

• The same. In this case, they are chosen so that they come to the table. Wooden or plastic, in the classic style or the Art Nouveau style, they should resemble each other and be deep enough so that an adult can freely accommodate in them.
• Various. This is a more complicated technique, which in classical style cannot be applied in principle. You need to use it carefully - in the absence of taste, it will look like the owners scored chairs at a flea market. To prevent this from happening, you need to choose furniture so that it combines with each other. To do this, you can use color matching tables and use similar solutions in the form.

In shape, they can be:

• Tough. These are the most uncomfortable of the chairs, which must be very well made so as not to cause the sedentary desire to get up quickly.
• With soft padding. These are more familiar and comfortable chairs: these are usually the ones that include Italian dining sets. It is good that the upholstery be removable and can be washed from time to time.
• Wooden bench. This option usually seems doubtful due to associations with primitive rustic rooms, but if properly designed, it can look very advantageous.
• Soft sofa. A good choice for those who value comfort, the main thing is to ensure that the height of the sofa is combined with the height of the table, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable for people sitting on it to reach for plates.

By technical characteristics, you should take care:

• Seat depth. Otherwise, it will be poked under a man’s knees and it will be unpleasant. A depth of 45 centimeters is considered optimal, but everyone is better to try it on their own.
• The total height of the chair. In this parameter, it is important to consider the height of the table. If it is small, tall chairs will be uncomfortable and will look silly. If on the contrary, it means that you need suitable chairs.
• The height of the back. It should be high enough to be comfortable to lean on and curved enough to not cause discomfort to the back.

It is necessary to take into account the number of chairs, if additional seats are planned, you need to figure out in advance where to remove the extra ones in everyday life.

The choice of a headset, especially if it is a dining room, rather than a kitchen, is an interesting matter and requires a considerable artistic taste. With the right approach, you can get a lot of pleasure from him and an excellent result that will please you for many years.
