A desk is one of the most important pieces of office furniture. After all, you have to work behind it and just sit in front of a computer monitor, looking through a social network profile. Therefore, the table must be comfortable, functional and, of course, fit into the design of the room. Sitting behind it should be convenient and comfortable. The well-known European furniture company Ikea could not stand aside without launching the production of such a product as a desk. Its catalog contains a wide selection of models for every taste and in different price categories. Let's look at them in more detail.
Dining groups
The sets of IKEA tables and chairs presented in the photo selections offer various design solutions for placing a dining area in the kitchen, living room, or glassed-in loggia.
Well-designed models with a ready-made option for combining a table with 2, 4 or 6 chairs are implemented both in the discreet laconicism of the signature monochrome (black, white, beige) and in fashionable color contrasts, using original combinations of metal, glass, plastic and wood.
The rectangular configuration is well suited for use in long, narrow spaces. This option can also be an ideal zoning tool in combined rooms.
Square and round countertops are a fashionable choice for small rooms and cozy, private nooks.
Highlights in the finished Ikea interior
The interior of the Ikea children's room is created in such a way that you can regularly make some adjustments to it, as in the photo in the article. There is no bulky furniture, large wardrobes or heavy standard beds that are difficult to move if necessary.
The walls and furniture are mostly made in light colors.
This provides an excellent opportunity to use bright small attributes in order to subsequently introduce some new colors, thereby changing the interior.
IKEA extendable and folding tables
A dining table with the potential to expand the functional area is the most popular choice for both large families and bachelor apartments.
Functional fittings with soft pullout are used in two design solutions. For example, in the Wangsta, Ekeladen, Ingatorp collections, the length of the table is increased by extending the table top with legs: when unfolded and folded, the supports remain in the corners.
Another option (Bjursta, Sturnes) uses two-layer retractable tabletops.
More compact folding models have three configurations: folded into a cabinet, half for placement against a wall, and full with opening on both sides.
Such a multifunctional table can be used as a full-fledged part of a dining set or become a useful addition to the interior of bedrooms, offices and living rooms.

Below you can see all the photos of tables from IKEA:
Why IKEA?
The fashionable eclectic trend allows you to abandon ready-made sets and assemble unique sets of furniture for all areas of the living space.
It is in this direction that the reputable manufacturer IKEA is working: the company catalog of tables presents many single products, sets with chairs and workstations in which tables are built into storage systems.
Consistency of style and quality of workmanship make it possible to combine items not only within series, but also to make a separate purchase.
The Ikea concept allows you to go beyond categories: a minimalistically designed bar table can be placed in an office, a suitable kitchen table can be placed in a nursery, coffee tables and side tables can become a module in wardrobes and furniture walls.
Sundvik series
This is a set that is characterized by ultra minimalism. They are also characterized by high functionality. Dressers and cabinets, as well as tables and chairs, are made without any decoration.
They will fit into a stylish and fashionable child's room.
Each object is made of wooden beams, thanks to which they comply with all environmental standards.
Here, each item has its own function. Here's an example: a changing chest can become a great place to store things over time.
The style in which these items are made is minimalism in a Scandinavian style.
It will allow you to successfully place this furniture in any room. These products are perfect for a room for boys or girls, thanks to their universal appearance.
Almost every element from the collection is available in 2 color options - natural brown and white.
Of interest may be a crib equipped with a sliding frame, which can be made longer as the child grows.
Nuances of choice
The right balance between the dimensions of the table, the size of the room and the proportion of available space improves the appearance of the room.
Convenient access is another factor, to take into account it is necessary to create a room layout that allows you to take into account the location of doors, windows, communications, and provide for the location of other furniture.
The useful area of the tabletop is determined not only by the number of people who can fit around, but also by another aspect of functionality - the degree of workload.
Additional space may be needed to set the dining table or place computers and laptops.
Occasional needs related to receiving guests or personal hobbies that require a large work area can be satisfied by purchasing tables with sliding mechanisms.
The comfort of the table is also determined by the ratio of its dimensions to chairs, armchairs, and soft corners: you need to pay attention to the convenience of placing elbows and legs.
Ikea offers competent and ergonomic design solutions, but when choosing a table for personal use, you can create unusual variations with seats.
Mobile storage, folding tabletops and height adjusters allow you to vary the height, working area of the table and change its location.
Line "Stuva"
One of the sales leaders.
Its main property is its modular structure, which allows you to make the furniture larger as the child grows up, i.e. These products can be adjusted not only to the size of the room, but also to the height of the baby.
For example, in the future a changing table can be transformed into a play table, and when he goes to school - into a writing table.
Models from this line are quite compatible with each other, both practically and in appearance. IKEA furniture design allows you to add separate necessary modules, the appearance of which will not be affected, but the functionality will expand.
Common items from the Stuva series are:
- Wardrobe Foglia and Fridits.
- Dressers and modular elements for storing toys.
The assortment also includes universal solutions that combine the ability to store both things and toys.
The interesting thing is that the modularity of this line allows you to create completely different combinations that will fit well into any interior and layout.
