Tables from IKEA: types, models and collections of tables from IKEA. Distinctive qualities of the brand. Color solutions and materials (photo + video)

In this article you will find many interesting descriptions and tips on choosing computer, desk, and kitchen tables, photos of examples of their use in the interior, and you will also learn a huge number of advantages of buying furniture from the Dutch company Ikea.

Materials

Nowadays, there are many types of materials from which coffee tables are made. Photos of IKEA tables on the Internet will help you understand that the main material is wood.

In addition to this material, plastic, various mirrors and metals can be used. Each has its own pros and cons.

Wooden tables

Wooden tables are quite expensive. This is not surprising, because high-quality wood is an expensive item. However, this price is justified.

Wooden coffee tables are very durable and are susceptible to even the most unfavorable external factors.

If you take care of such furniture, you can be sure that it will last at least three years.

Peculiarities

Round tables have been used for many years in living rooms, cottages and social gatherings. Such furniture had a huge advantage - equality, at the round table everyone has equal conditions (there is no head). Psychologists believe that in a house where there is a round table, harmony and unity of all family members reign. In terms of comfort, they are perfect for accommodating more people in a small space, unlike rectangular ones, but there is a small drawback in the interior: such a table will not save space if you place it against a wall or in a corner, it requires space.

When deciding to purchase furniture for a home or office, every consumer wants to get the maximum benefit: be it a long service life, quality assurance or a reasonable price. That is why Ikea has developed a concept for the production of dining groups and tables that are suitable for the entire population as a whole and for each person individually.

There are several undeniable advantages that distinguish Ikea tables from other brands:

• Versatility - in fact, these interior items from the Dutch company can be considered transformers, since there are many additions to them.
• Ultra-compact - thanks to the variety of sizes and shapes, you can choose it for almost any room.
• Compatibility - all the company’s products can be combined into a single style and thanks to this, fill any interior.
• Affordability – minimalism in price and quality of workmanship will be pleasing to any buyer.
• The range includes a huge number of models of different shapes and designs.

Tables made of plastic

Plastic tables are more affordable than their wooden counterparts. They have a rather aesthetic appearance, which may be of interest to ardent lovers of minimalism.

The downside is that the plastic gets dirty very quickly and the owner will have to wipe or even completely wash his table very often.

Tables for the bedroom

Basically the bedroom has two different types of desks. One of them is attached to the bed - a cabinet or console (described above), and the other is a dressing table, which we will talk about now.

Note! How to organize a wardrobe inside?

A dressing table in every lady's room is indispensable. Behind him, the girls clean themselves up, do their makeup and hair.

You also need to take into account that there should be shelves where you can place bottles and various jars.

• Adhesive edge for furniture

Types of dressing tables:

• Console with mirror and shelves.
• Trellis.
• Dressing table.

Of course, the choice of model depends on your desires and the size of the bedroom.

If you do not have a very large room, then it is better to have the mirror attached to the wall, which will visually increase the size of the space, thereby saving space.

Also, the dressing table should be well lit. You can attach two LED lights opposite each other for even illumination. Just make sure that the light does not blind your eyes.

Mirror tables

Mirrors are a rather experimental material, which only recently began to be introduced into production by all major companies producing such furniture.

An IKEA table with a mirror is a rather beautiful and aesthetic type of furniture. Ideal for apartments designed in loft or modern style.

The downside is the fragility of some types of mirrors. Poor quality mirror tables can be quite fragile and prone to breakage.

Production technologies do not stand still. Many companies are now introducing the idea of ​​combining materials in the manufacture of coffee tables or dressing tables.

The bottom line is that individual components are made from different materials. The selection is based on the suitability of a particular material for a certain part of the mechanism.

Let’s say wood is very strong and stable, it would be logical to make the frame and legs of the table from wood. Dressing tables from IKEA have been made using this technology for a long time.

Advantages of Ikea furniture

Ikea furniture is always functional. Thus, Ikea tables are equipped with a large number of special superstructures and shelves that allow you to place a lot of necessary things on it, while still leaving enough space for comfortable work.

Ikea furniture is always compact. Ikea furniture designers create furniture models that can be placed anywhere, for example, corner furniture allows you to put it in a corner, and built-in furniture fits comfortably in a niche, thus freeing up space.

Furniture manufacturer Ikea always offers a huge range of models.

All Ikea furniture is made from environmentally friendly materials. Each model has a safe design.

But the most important thing is that Ikea is a long-established manufacturer of branded furniture products, producing high-quality, functional, stylish and safe products at an affordable price.

Dimensions

All coffee tables are not large in size. Their peculiarity lies precisely in the fact that they are as compact and functional as possible.

The dimensions of the tables may vary depending on the company and the type of furniture itself.

There are children's tables produced by IKEA, which are quite small in size. By size, all tables are divided into small, medium and large models.

You should choose based on what area of ​​the room you are willing to allocate for a table.

Choosing a workplace

Computer desk

The main things you need to pay attention to when buying a computer desk are:

• Sufficient space for installing the monitor (it should be at a safe distance from the eyes - 60-70 cm) and a niche for the system unit;
• Possibility of placing a computer headset - speakers, printer, etc.;
• Convenient placement of the keyboard - perhaps it will be a retractable panel, then make sure it is stable and in the correct position - in the solar plexus area.
• The functionality of the table is the presence of racks, shelves, drawers, etc.
• Location in the room - for small rooms a corner computer desk will be more convenient, for large ones - both a corner and a rectangular one.

By the way, how to check if the table is suitable for you? While sitting, place your hands on the tabletop. If the table is your height, your shoulders will be in a natural position - not lowered too low and not raised too high.

Desk

Choosing a desk is not much different from choosing a computer desk. Here it is also important to take into account functionality, convenience, and the possibility of optimal installation in the room. Some prefer a synthesis of a computer and a desk, i.e. a desk with a niche for a monitor or a computer desk with a pull-out panel for writing.

The only significant difference between the desk is the size of the table top. The user must not only sit comfortably at the table, but also lay out notebooks and textbooks. Here is a complete list of requirements that you should have for your desk design.

More information about choosing the right workplace can be found here:

Also try to provide enough light in the work area - you can use table lamps or wall lamps; in the daytime it should be good natural light, so it is better to place the table closer to the window.

Forms

This type of furniture is very diverse and has many different shapes.

• Multi-tiered models
• Basket-shaped options
• Oval shaped tables
• Folding tables

Each type of form is unique in its own way and requires more detailed study.

Basket-shaped tables

Tables of this shape are the least popular, as they have poor functionality. Their design is very specific and will not suit everyone.

However, if you need a compact table in which you can store some jewelry or documents, then you can pay attention to the basket table.

Changing table IKEA

One of the main helpers for young families is a changing table. After all, the baby will need to change his diaper every two to three hours. In addition, it is necessary for everyday massage, physical exercise and changing clothes.

The table is presented in the form of a tabletop in a box, which is attached to the wall and discarded as needed; it resembles an airplane table.

The wall-mounted children's table is very convenient, as it contains compartments for storing clothes, and the tabletop, if necessary, can be folded and unfolded back. To choose a table, you need to rely on the size, material, stability of the structure, and of course, don’t forget about the design.

Oval shaped tables

These tables are very suitable for family meals. The oval shape goes very harmoniously with the interior, made in warm colors.

Almost all leading companies produce such furniture. Ikea oval breakfast tables are a modern and useful design solution.

IKEA coffee table

This is a special part of the interior that can add individual charm and comfort to the room, combining perfectly with the rest of the objects in the room. These products are designed for a diverse audience with different financial capabilities.

A branded coffee table is intended for those who can afford to purchase an expensive model, while others can be content with designer high-status furniture.

The use of high-quality raw materials allows the company to produce coffee tables that are in demand in modern society. Designs in classic models are equipped with auxiliary shelves and wheels, and have wooden or glass tabletops.

Folding tables

Very compact and mobile tables. You can take them with you on a hike, to the country house, or when moving to another apartment.

Due to their movable design, they have little stability, so you should not place anything heavy on such tables.

Other models: picnic, magazine

To make your outdoor recreation comfortable, you can take with you one of the light garden tables - “Askholmen”, “Saltholmen”, “Mälaro”, “Eplaro”. These series include the same folding chairs.

Folding table “Askholmen” made of solid acacia, covered with stain, RUR 2,199. There is also an option for 4 persons. Melaro”: tabletop – solid wood, base, legs – steel, 4,999 RUR. “Saltholmen” made of steel, 1,999 RUR.

The Arkelstorpe transformable coffee table with folding floors will help organize gatherings in the living room with friends over tea or board games.

RUR 8,999

Folding tables are always a rational solution. Lightweight folding mechanism, low weight and relatively low price - these characteristics make these IKEA folding tables very popular

But before buying, it is important to check how convenient it is for you to lay out such a table and how reliable the mechanism itself is. After all, if you plan to use all its capabilities very often, then it is better to check the quality of the already assembled model before purchasing

It’s good that you can do this in person when visiting an IKEA showroom.
