Coffee tables on wheels
To create a harmonious and comfortable interior, it is necessary to take a responsible approach to the selection of all pieces of furniture and decor. Even the smallest object plays an important role in the layout of the ensemble. Today we will talk about the features of coffee tables on wheels that look organic in any home.
Features and Benefits
Coffee tables are most often located in the living room near the soft corner (sofa and armchairs). These details unobtrusively complement the headset and play a functional role, since you can get together behind them in a friendly company over a cup of tea or coffee.
A significant advantage of coffee tables on wheels is their mobility. It is not so easy to rearrange classic furnishings on legs-supports to a new place. Moreover, this often leads to damage to the floor covering. The model on casters can be easily moved without damaging the floor and without extra effort.
Modern manufacturers produce functional and easy-to-use folding and sliding structures. In the assembled state, such furniture has a very compact size and looks organic even in a small room. However, if you expand it, then a more spacious and wide tabletop will open in front of you.
It should be noted the multitasking of the coffee tables on wheels. Today in stores you can find improved models in which there are drawers, shelves and even removable modular parts.
In such structures, you can store various things and always keep them at hand.
Models
Basically, all models of coffee tables with wheels differ in the material from which they are made. Consider the features and characteristics of each instance.
Wooden
Solid wood products have an excellent appearance. They look rich and cozy. With the help of such an item, you can enrich the interior and make it truly warm and welcoming.
In the production of modern furniture, such strong and solid breeds are used as oak, hevea, alder, rattan, wenge, pine, birch, maple, beech, cherry, walnut and mahogany... Such raw materials can boast of wear resistance and a long service life. Moreover, the indisputable advantage of wooden structures is that they are environmentally friendly, which not all materials possess today.
There are no significant drawbacks to such furniture, but it is not recommended to place it in rooms with high humidity, as this can lead to damage to the wood.
Also, many consumers consider it a disadvantage that solid wood coffee tables require special care. The surface of such furniture should be coated with special protective agents. This is necessary so that the material retains its beautiful appearance for as long as possible and remains wear-resistant.
Solid wood furniture is at a high price. Products made from pine or birch are considered the most affordable, since these species do not belong to the category of valuable and are very common in our country.
MDF, laminated chipboard
Tables made from this raw material are much cheaper than wooden ones. They are durable and not subject to mechanical damage. However, more often than not, such furniture looks quite simple and formulaic.It is not so easy to choose a truly unique and memorable option from MDF or chipboard.
The main disadvantage of laminated chipboard is that it contains toxic formaldehyde resins. They have a depressing effect on the human body. In order not to put yourself in danger and not undermine your health, experts recommend choosing tables from environmentally friendly laminated chipboard of class "E-1" or veneered material.
Plastic
Plastic coffee tables are rightfully recognized as the most affordable in terms of price. This material will not rot or deform with careful use. The great popularity of plastic furniture is explained by the fact that it does not require special care and is available in a variety of colors.
However, such products also have a number of disadvantages:
- plastic is not a very reliable and tough material, so it is easily scratched, and with a strong impact it can even break;
- do not put plastic coffee tables in direct sunlight or near heating systems. This can lead to deformation of the surface of the furniture and loss of color brightness;
- in modern production of plastic products, hazardous and toxic materials are often used, therefore, when buying such furniture, you need to familiarize yourself with the quality certificate and make sure that the structure is safe;
- It should be noted that a plastic table will not look organic in all stylistic directions.
Shapes and sizes
Coffee tables with casters come in many different shapes. And we are talking not only about the countertops, but also about the execution of the legs and the underframe. The most popular are rectangular flat designs, but there are also rounded (round and oval) options, as well as undulating products of non-trivial design.
Classic coffee tables are not the highest. Their length is 40-50 cm. Most often, there are products with dimensions of 800x800 mm or 800x600 mm. If you have a more spacious room and can afford to buy an impressive model, then you should take a closer look at the large structures, the length of which can reach 1600 mm.
When choosing the size of a coffee table, you need to rely on a simple and always relevant rule: small furniture should be placed in a small room, and large furniture in a large one.
This is due to the fact that small tables in a spacious room will look inharmonious and even ridiculous. As for large structures in small rooms, they will clutter up the space.
Colors
Coffee tables on wheels can have completely different colors.
Let's get acquainted with a small list of the most popular and attractive shades of such furniture:
- In many ensembles, the classic options of black and white will look harmonious. Often, such furniture is placed against a contrasting background (black tables in white rooms, and white tables in black ones). Such design solutions look very bright and attractive;
- For the past few years, beautiful interior items of the wenge shade have remained in trend;
- Tables in brown shades are no less popular. Such furniture can be safely attributed to the classics. She never went out and is unlikely to go out of fashion;
- It is impossible not to add unpainted natural wood tables to this list. Natural shades of this material have an incomparable beauty, complemented by a woody texture.
Styles
Modern manufacturers produce many different models of coffee tables. Their choice is so great that you can choose the ideal option for an interior in absolutely any style. Let us consider in more detail what characteristic features the structures related to a particular stylistic direction have.
- Classic. For such a strict style in the interior, you should choose elegant but laconic tables made of natural wood. They can be supplemented with thread, but there should not be too much of it.
- Provence. The style of French Provence is distinguished by its tenderness and softness, therefore it is recommended to select discreet charming tables of pastel colors made of natural wood (both painted and unpainted) for it. The furniture can be complemented with floral decoupage.
- Minimalism. For this uncomplicated style, it is worth choosing coffee tables of simple shapes and equally simple colors. Standard monophonic designs will look organic in a minimalistic ensemble. There should be no excess decor in such furniture.
- Loft. In the popular and original loft style, coffee tables of various design designs will look attractive. It can be an antique-styled model, a design with a glossy top or a polished bookcase with a folding design. This "spread" of suitable models is due to the fact that in the "attic" direction of the loft, it is permissible to use interior items of various styles.
- High tech. For this direction, laconic tables in black, white or gray are suitable. Details with carvings and elegant decorative elements in such models should not be.
How to choose?
Coffee tables are presented in a rich assortment today. Selecting the right model is necessary in accordance with the following important criteria:
- Material. Wood products are considered the most reliable and environmentally friendly. However, they are quite expensive, so many buyers turn to more affordable options from MDF or chipboard. In the second case, select structures upholstered with veneer.
- Build quality. Before purchasing a model, be sure to inspect its surface for any damage. Also check the reliability of the structure and fasteners. If the furniture creaks or wobbles, then you should discard it and choose another model.
