Corner computer tables

The corners of a room can rarely be used effectively. Usually they are empty or they put tubs with plants and other decorative things that can only be used as decorations and nothing else. Ordinary furniture in this position loses a number of its properties. With the advent of corner furniture, it became possible to use square meters more rationally. If an adult or a child needs a workplace, then a corner computer desk will be the best option.

In addition to saving space, such a table has a number of other advantages:

• Suitable for both small-sized rooms and spacious ones, where it is necessary to allocate a working area.
• Multifunctionality - plays the role of not only a computer desk, but also a writing desk, as well as a place for storing a large number of things.
• Ergonomic parameters, a special shape of the table top contribute to the fact that the person takes the correct posture, less fatigue.

• Thanks to the special organization of departments for placing equipment and other items, it saves time and more efficiently performs its work.
• Since there are always walls in the corner, it is possible to build stable tabletop structures.
• A wide range of models makes it possible to choose not only a convenient, but also an aesthetic option.
• Compared to conventional models of the same size, the price gain is obvious. This is due to the use of fewer materials.

The disadvantages include:

• Place your monitor in a rational position so that the space behind it does not go unused.
• Due to the need to sit facing the corner, there may be lighting problems.

Depending on what type of computer is used, tables are divided into the following types:

• for stationary computers;
• for portable (laptops, tablets) of different sizes, with or without a keyboard.

The complete set of the table, providing access to sockets depends on this. Programmers often need more than one monitor, but two and compartments for special equipment. In addition, almost all types of devices can be found in a large family.

By configuration, they can be:

• Diagonal (more compact, but due to the great depth it is impossible to install boxes in them).
• With docking sides (right and left), making it possible to sit facing one of the walls.

Right-sided and left-sided, as well as docked at right angles, models are more convenient, since they provide more opportunities for organizing the internal structure. A corner piece with a docking part can be covered with a single table top, while the side pieces forming a right angle will always have different table tops and a joint between them.

In addition to the above models, there are options:

• simple;
• modular.

Simple options consist of a frame and a table top and can be completed with a keyboard shelf, compartment for the system unit, monitor stand, shelves for drives and books, built-in drawers. Modular, in addition to all of the above, can be equipped with sliding pedestals, all kinds of add-ons in the form of a rack or lockers. In addition, such a table can itself act as a part of a modular furniture system with a side cabinet for clothes or a bookcase.

Share models:

• for kids;
• for adults.

It is very important for children to have a large work surface for writing assignments and a shelf for storing textbooks and notebooks. And the time spent at the computer must be carefully monitored. TO

Transformer is a special kind of tables. They can be conditionally divided into:

• changing the area of ​​the countertop;
• with adjustable height. Most often, you can change the height using special legs, less often a special frame or complex mechanisms are found. In any case, this significantly increases the cost of the product.

The table, like any other piece of furniture, should be comfortable. For this, some nuances must be observed:

1. The location of the monitor depends on the design of the table. It is better if he is at arm's length, if this is not possible, then at a distance of at least 40 cm. Its height should be at eye level. If necessary, you can use a special stand.
2. When working with the keyboard, the arms should be bent at the elbows and parallel to the surface. The keyboard should be at least 15 cm from the edge so that the hand does not sag and the main load goes to the area closer to the elbow. The same goes for the mouse - you can purchase a special mat with a stand.

3. The legs should fit completely under the table, it is better if there is an opportunity to stretch them. The knees should not rest on the boxes. It is better if a stand is included in the package.

4. To maintain eye health, you need good lighting, additional lamps can be recessed or overhead.

5. The compartment for the system unit should not be too narrow (to prevent overheating) and make it difficult to access connectors, wires and sockets. The floor-standing arrangement of the system unit is impractical.

The dimensions of the product will depend on the purpose for which it is intended:

• If a person uses only a computer, then the tabletop can be quite small - just to fit the monitor (and modern options are quite wide) and put the mouse next to the keyboard. Thus, we get a minimum of 60 cm. And the width of the compartment for the system unit, so that it does not overheat, should be 25 cm. Thus, 35 cm remains to accommodate the legs - rather narrow. Therefore, if you plan to spend at least 2 hours at the computer, choose a wider model.

Moreover, in triangular models, the minimum along the edge of the working tabletop should be 110-120 cm. If this distance is less, the monitor will have to be installed closer to the edge, since it will be limited by the walls. For the writing area, everything is simpler: when writing, the elbows should not hang down, so for children the required minimum is 60 cm, and for adults an average of 110 cm, depending on the build.

• If you plan to install some kind of office equipment, then provide a place for it on the tabletop or in a niche above it.
• The standard depth is 60 cm - it is explained by the peculiarities of the installation of the pull-out elements. If you save space, the table may be narrower, in which case the keyboard should be placed on a special retractable stand. The system unit can be positioned along.
• Typically, the height from floor to table top varies from manufacturer to manufacturer from 73 to 80 cm. The superstructure should not be too high, since it is assumed that all things can be reached from it without getting up from the chair.

The main ones are:

• triangular (designed for one place);
• L-shaped (for one or two people maximum);
• U-shaped (can accommodate several people).

The triangular shape is basic.There will be a right angle at the base, and the hypotenuse can be in the form of a straight line, an arc (concave or convex), or a broken line (with edges). The leading edge of L-shaped and U-shaped shapes can be with straight or rounded corners. Their ends can also be rounded.

Streamlined semicircular and wavy models look unusual and less traumatic, but they have their own characteristics:

• They are usually deeper and take up a lot of space.
• Installation of built-in boxes and access to internal communications are difficult.
• A wave-like countertop can be supplemented with curved fronts, but not all materials are suitable for this.
• Round or semicircular pedestals can be installed under them.

Models in which the parts are joined at right angles take up less space and have ample manufacturing possibilities. We can say that this is an economy option.

For the manufacture of computer tables use:

• Solid wood (pine, oak, beech, birch, ash) is rarely used, mainly due to its high cost. Wooden tables always look solid and stylish. Hard rocks are wear-resistant and durable.
• High strength glass (hardened). Mainly used for countertops. It can be transparent, satin, mirror, tinted or painted. And also with patterns and photo printing.
• Metal - the thickness of the profile must be appropriate. Models can be shiny, matte or painted. A worktop on a metal frame and forged supports is the most reliable option.

• Different types of plastic (transparent or colored) are used both for surfaces and for individual parts.
• Laminated chipboard - the most budgetary material. Possesses good resistance to external influences. The edges are finished with an edge in color.
• MDF with all its capabilities, it has an affordable cost. The veneered material is very similar to wood. The film coating offers a wide range of colors and textures with imitation of natural materials (wood and metal), glossy, matte, monochromatic and patterned. Enamel options have such an important advantage as the possibility of restoration.

Fashionable colors:

• White is the most popular. The furniture looks stylish, fresh, adds volume and light. Contrary to stereotypes, modern materials do not absorb dirt and do not require special maintenance. In addition, dust is less visible on light surfaces.
• Contrasting black is sophisticated and mesmerizing and can be combined with white or other colors. The glossy finish is especially effective.
• Natural wood colors never go out of style. An alternative to white can be the shades of Sonoma Oak and Bleached Oak. And "wenge" will become contrasting.

The color scheme depends on:

• material capabilities;
• placement;
• individual preferences.

The color scheme of some materials (for example, wood) is more modest than others. Therefore, if you want a special shade, pay attention to enamel or film coatings.

If the room is narrow and dark, it can be visually expanded with a light interior, while for well-lit rooms, all colors can be used. If the windows of the room face the north side, then warm shades will do, but do not mix them with cold ones.

The product can be one-color or a combination of two or three colors (for example, orange-brown). The main thing is not to overdo it, since some types (for example, green or purple) go well exclusively with their shades and neutral colors. If you show your imagination, then such a table will become a reflection of your personality.

Even a discreet interior can be decorated with a bright, memorable detail. For example, facades with an interesting pattern. Using images on furniture and other themed items, you can create an interior dedicated to a movie hero or famous person.This is suitable for people who are passionate about something, fans or fans.

The structure can be lightened by replacing the wide support with an elegant pipe. And place the superstructure only on one side and replace the blank facades with transparent and open niches. And you can do without add-ons and internal filling altogether, shifting the storage function to other pieces of furniture. In this case, we get a laconic object, in which there is nothing superfluous. This option will not be boring if you add shiny elements to it.

The hanging table will look original. The main thing is a sense of proportion, the correspondence of the load and weight of the objects standing on it and reliable fastenings. Creation of the illusion of fragility and weightlessness - this is the goal pursued by glass surfaces on a thin metal frame.

For lovers of moving or frequent rearrangement of furniture, we can recommend a table with a swivel part, which easily converts from a straight line to a corner one.

All the classic trends in the design of corner computer tables are rarely used. Baroque options (massive, gilded, carved, pilasters) will look a little ridiculous in combination with office equipment. Unobtrusive laptops are more suitable for them. In addition, spacious apartments are decorated with "palace" directions, where there is no need to take into account square meters.

Modernity, which appeared much later, took the best from the classics. Its distinctive features are the rejection of straight lines, naturalness, smoothness, minimal decor. Facades and surfaces are smooth. The legs are gracefully curved.

Provence (or French country) is distinguished by a large number of decorative details, paneled facades, and plant motifs. Modern styles (for example, high-tech) use more modern materials, which means they have more opportunities to create a bright, shiny, memorable image. Although some of them are more restrained. In the style of minimalism, although there are bright colors, they are uniform and supported by the severity of forms.

Follow these tips and the result will please you:

• Make sure the corner where you are going to place the table is straight. If the corner is sharp, it simply will not fit there, and if it is turned, there will be gaps on the sides. You can, of course, order a table with a non-standard angle or even make it rounded, but it will cost you much more.
• Another important criterion is safety. All materials, paints and coatings must not emit harmful substances. If you doubt this (for example, the product has a pungent smell, but the paint remains on your hands), ask the seller to show you the certificates of conformity.
• Don't skimp on fittings. Let the drawers be with closers, and the shelf slides out easily and without squeaking. Pay attention to the fasteners - it is better to prefer screws to glues. And let them be seen in glass models, but you will do without injuries.

• In order to be convinced of the convenience of this or that parameter - sit down at the table and imagine your everyday actions. When ordering on the website, be sure to consult with the seller or try a similar option in the store.
• If several people will use such a product, choose the universal, most convenient height or models with the ability to adjust.
• It is necessary to correctly assess the practical and aesthetic value. When choosing furniture for children, look for durable materials that are scratch-resistant and do not absorb different types of paints, ink and glue, as well as dark colors of the countertop. Cleaning should be simple and easy. But at the same time, we must not forget that a beautiful product will bring more pleasure, which means it will increase efficiency.

A corner table for a computer can be found not only in an apartment, but also in an office, educational and medical institutions, banks and other public places:

• If the house has a separate spacious office, then a special place in it, of course, will be occupied by a table with a simple design that sets you up for fruitful work. Such a model will be indispensable for a narrow room that can be converted into a small but cozy office.
• If there is no separate room, the table can be placed in the living room. The main condition is that the furniture should be stylistically similar. Since this room in many houses is a walk-through room and not only family members but also guests have access to it, it would be nice to be able to place the screen so that the data on it would not be visible to those present.
• The bedroom is a special place for rest and relaxation. Therefore, the design should not attract attention, and the placement should inspire thoughts about unfinished business and work.

• The hallway, if, of course, the footage allows, is also quite suitable for installing a small model. In addition, a place for working at a computer can be built into a niche or wall.
• In the life of a modern schoolchild, a similar subject appears already in the first grade, so it is necessary to remember to comply with all requirements. In addition, appearance is important - it should motivate, not repel. If you have two children, the longer version will do.
• In addition to the location in the house, it is important to determine the location in a single room. If the table is next to the window, this is a definite plus. It is better if the light comes from the left or from the front. The disadvantage of this arrangement is that batteries are usually located under the windows: it is uncomfortable to be near the heater, the window sill can interfere. When calculating the dimensions, you also need to take into account the opening of the door and the location of the outlets.

One of the important stages of the selection process is the study of the market and reviews of manufacturing firms. You can find furniture from Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, Belarus. If an important criterion in the selection of models is their price, you can consider domestic factories that have long been using foreign technologies and are in no way inferior to them. Reputable companies carefully select raw materials, and their designs are tested for durability.

The most popular among them are:

• Stoplit;
• "Shatura";
• "Lagoon";
• "TriYa";
• Rinner;
• AS-M;
• Vitra;
• Mebeline;
• Vita mebel;
• Mebelson;
• Olmeco;
• Rado.

If you are not satisfied with the offered assortment, you can make a table to order according to individual sizes. As a rule, in any self-respecting organization there are managers who will help make your dreams come true.

Today, many people associate their lives and professional activities with computer technology, and for this they need not one, but two monitors and other types of portable devices. To make the most of your square footage, you need to choose compact models.

In contrast to them, they are large-sized models with a long work surface, on which office equipment with a massive superstructure can fit - an ideal storage system for documents, books, textbooks and stationery.

Modular furniture, which is so popular now, could not bypass computer tables. Becoming a part of the furniture system, the table looks especially organic, and the transition section smooths out the difference between elements of different depths.

One of the sides can act as a partition, for example, when you need to separate the working area in the living room. This design move is especially convenient in that it can be changed without much cost.
