Small coffee tables can be of any shape. Square and rectangular products are more convenient for arranging objects, but due to the presence of sharp corners, they cannot be used in apartments where small children live. Round and oval tables go well with any decor and are ideal for small spaces. Along with traditional designs, designer pieces offer non-standard configurations, allowing this bold approach to be used in modern interiors.

The size of miniature products usually does not exceed the parameters of 50x50 cm with a height of 50-55 cm.The smallest indicator is 30x30, found in models that perform the function of a coffee or decorative table. Such products are not suitable for serving or as a stand for a laptop. The diameter of the round tables also ranges from 30 to 55 centimeters.

Small coffee tables are made of solid wood, glass, metal, plastic, plexus and MDF boards. The glass used is extra strong, at least 8 mm thick, which is quite enough for safe operation. The edges undergo a special treatment that excludes trauma, and the staining of glass in different colors, matting and tinting of the surfaces make the models very popular and in demand. Glass tables visually enlarge the room and do not clutter up the space, they are environmentally friendly and hygienic.

Products made from solid natural wood have a special energy and have a beneficial effect on the atmosphere of the room. Due to their natural appearance, such models are harmoniously combined with any interior, they are strong and durable, easy to maintain and easy to restore. Wooden models can have both lacquered and matt finish.

In addition to valuable wood species, MDF chipboards are used in the manufacture of tables. They can have laminated and veneered surfaces. As a laminator, a PVC film is used, which perfectly imitates the pattern and color of wood fibers. Outwardly, it is in no way inferior to the texture of natural wood. The veneered surface cannot be visually distinguished from the natural one made of solid wood.

The metal is used in combination with glass, plastic and wood surfaces. It gives strength to the structure and looks noble in the interior. Thanks to the use of metal elements, it is possible to create transformation mechanisms and folding models.

Before proceeding with the selection of a product, it is necessary to determine its functional purpose, as well as the conditions and place of operation. If the product is chosen as a serving or coffee table, then it is necessary to focus on glass models. There are no thermal circles on the glass from cups with hot drinks, and swelling and deformation of the surface from frequent wet processing are excluded. The dimensions of such models should be in the upper limits of the dimensions of mini tables and be at least 50x50 cm for square structures and at least 50 cm in diameter for round ones.

Any square, oval or rectangular model is suitable as a coffee table. Round designs, especially those with small diameters, may not fit an entire newspaper or an open magazine and are inconvenient to read. If the table is supposed to be used as a stand for a laptop, then you can choose a bedside model with a side size of 40x40 cm. Sometimes such products are equipped with lighting and USB ports, which makes their use more comfortable.

Then you should choose the material of manufacture. It will depend on the style and size of the room. For small areas, it is better to choose a transparent glass structure, for children's rooms - a bright and light plastic model. A table made of solid natural wood, varnished and having a clear pattern of wood structure, is suitable for classics and baroque.For loft, industrial and fusion, cast iron and iron models with bicycle wheels are ideal.

A white wooden model of a square or rectangular shape is suitable for delicate Provence. For retro interiors, an interesting solution would be a model that imitates a women's tricycle of the late 19th century, and a model of the simplest design with four legs and a light wood covering will suit minimalism.

When choosing a product in a rustic style, you can pay attention to a blank table with drawers, reminiscent of a chest. In hi-tech, a transparent product with chrome legs will look harmonious, and for a modern traditional style, a round glass tinted model with a gilded case will do. For techno, you can purchase a table equipped with a lamp that will perfectly decorate the interior and will serve as a table lamp.
