The coffee table is considered the most functional and versatile piece of furniture in any interior. It is present in almost every living room. Often it can be found in a spacious bedroom.
from wood
Wooden coffee tables are the most popular option that can easily fit into almost any interior. It is enough to choose a shade that will be in harmony with the rest of the furniture in this room. It is desirable that the decoration of such a table was made in the appropriate style.
From glass
Decorating their home in a modern style, people began to pay more attention to models of coffee tables made of glass. They look quite "airy" due to their transparency. Nevertheless, the most unusual materials can be selected as a support at such tables - tree snags, deer antlers, corals and others.
metal
The metal is difficult to process, which is why the models of such coffee tables are expensive. They are also heavy in weight, which makes it difficult to move them around the room. But they are durable, they are not afraid of any damage.
Choosing a coffee table depending on the overall style of the room
Look at the examples of interior design, including the presence of a coffee table, in the catalog - you can see how diverse they can be (in form, materials, decor elements and purpose):
When choosing a coffee table for the living room, clearly consider what “duties” you assign to it.
Classical
The most ordinary small coffee table made of wood will best fit into the classic interior. An exception can only be the bright decor of the base and legs of the table, matched to match all other pieces of furniture and decoration. It is very important in such situations to take into account the careful selection of wood tones so that the furniture looks like a single set.
Provence
Pastel shades of furniture are considered a feature of the Provencal style, including naturalness (unpainted wood), carved legs at tables and antique design (artificial aging) are no less popular. For example, coffee tables that are massive in size will fit better in a large living room. But for a small room, small models are ideal. If you prefer French style, then these tables are for you:
Country
Most ethnic styles (by the way, which include country music) amaze with original ideas and unusual use of the most ordinary materials. Some surprise with bamboo models, others with multi-colored complex mosaics made of small shells. Country, on the other hand, is able to accept a table made of roughly hewn wood or logs into its interior. Also in appearance, models of this style are represented by the roughness of the surface of unpolished wood. See for yourself:
Modern
Where there is truly no end to the design fantasy, it is in a modern style. Fortunately, materials for the manufacture of such coffee tables can be found everywhere - wood, stone, glass, metal, plastic. The most important thing is to observe the conciseness of forms and lines. A little creativity and a unique coffee table will appear in your interior.
Pop Art
The main task of the pop art style is to remake ordinary things into something from the realm of fantasy. By creating such “works of art”, this style allows you to transform the gray everyday life with bright decor elements. Coffee tables are no exception. Designers do not spare inspiration, I improve existing simple things.
Loft
The presence of rough metal details and rough-hewn wood, as well as the creation of a peculiar kind of "street furniture" - this is all loft style. It is original and brutal. At the same time, everyone likes it without exception. If you see a coffee table resembling a cart, know this is also a loft. Many ideas came to the minds of designers when they visited "specific" places - semi-abandoned old factories and manufactories, it was there that they drew their inspiration.
Coffee table-transformer
When choosing a coffee table for, clearly consider what “duties” you assign to it. If you need a decorative element of the interior, then take a closer look at the tables of an unusual shape, which are often offered by various designers. However, if you want to get not only a coffee table, but also a dining or computer table in one person, then you should look at folding models -. With some effort, in just one minute, you can turn your nondescript coffee table into a full-fledged dining area for several people. Isn't that what you dreamed of?! It is great if such a model is on wheels - this will facilitate the movement of the table around the room.
DIY transformer table:
Coffee table as an element of the storage system
Its very name - "magazine" says that this table is designed to store magazines, as well as books, newspapers and other little things (remote controls, phone chargers, and the like). In order not to clutter up its surface, most models have shelves or drawers that create additional storage space for the necessary things. Such elements of the storage system will not necessarily be located outside - in front of everyone, they can also be built-in (hidden, secret), which only you will know about. Here are just a few models with original ideas:
DIY coffee table - video and drawings
| Materials and tools: | Working process: |
|---|---|
Prefabricated parts made of fiberboard or wood. 2 wheels. Special glue for wood. Drill and drill bits for it. Electric screwdriver, screwdrivers. Jigsaw, wood saw. Screws and dowels. Roulette and level. Sandpaper or grinder. Wooden hammer. | We cut out the details according to the drawing. We make holes for the tongues in a rectangular partition and in the center of the base of the countertop, at an approximate distance of 10 cm. Now, at a height of 36 and 48 cm, we make 2 holes on the partition itself for the subsequent fixing of 2 semicircular shelves on it. You can install dowels. We assemble the table, after making sure that the overall structure is even. We disassemble it again and make several holes in rectangular blanks (36, 48, 23 cm). We proceed to the final assembly. To do this, we sequentially assemble - the base, the central and lower partition, semicircular shelves, the upper partition and the tabletop itself. We assemble with a wooden hammer and tongues, planted on glue. We complete the assembly process by attaching the wheels to the screws (during the subsequent movement of the table, they should not touch the base). Everything - the table is ready! |
We invite you to watch a few videos with vivid examples of original coffee table models that you can make without leaving your home.
As in a bedroom without a bed, so in almost any other room, whether it be a living room, a kitchen or even a hallway, you cannot do without a table. Actually, in the bedroom, he will not be superfluous. And it is better to have several of them at once - for different purposes. So that there is somewhere to put a night lamp, where to lay out notes and books, install a laptop, or even just have a bite to eat or even do something more spicy.
Buying a "desk" is not difficult, the choice is now large, but making it yourself is a matter of special sophistication. Such a home-made item of an apartment “wardrobe” will be valued much higher by both the owner and guests, and it will be more pleasant to use it.
This is not an easy task, but it is also simple, requiring, however, a certain aesthetic taste and carpentry skills. But do not be afraid and immediately retreat. It is quite possible to cope with this task, the main thing is to imagine what you want.
Advantages and disadvantages
A homemade product has both its advantages and disadvantages. Among the advantages:
- Variability. You can do with your own hands what you really need. In all aspects. This is complete freedom in the choice of form, material, texture, size, design.
- Saving. Buying in furniture stores will cost significantly more. In fact, for the same or even worse quality, you will sometimes have to pay many times more money.
- Uniqueness. What is done by hand, no one else will do. This will allow you to create a stylish and original, and most importantly, a unique interior almost anywhere - in the country, in an apartment, in your own house.
- Improving skills. Working on a table is an opportunity to practice your locksmith and carpentry skills, to learn a whole range of new things. These skills will come in handy when repairing finished store products in the future.
Having a better understanding of the design of the tables, it will be possible to more professionally approach the choice of such products in retail outlets, or even discover a source of additional income. And in general - it will always be possible to help relatives and friends fix something, bring a fresh idea to the design.
However, the independent production of tables is fraught with certain difficulties. Among them:
- Time consumption. Be prepared to spend one or more days working, and in the case of a large item, even a week. The maximum, as the masters admit, is 10 days spent on a large table. In fact, you can spend the whole vacation tormented with the material and achieve very meager results. Therefore, it is better to have a psychological readiness for difficulties during the first experience.
- Injury hazard. Working, especially with wood, is fraught with splinters. When working with old material (beams, boards from fences), you need to be extremely careful. But in some cases, even work gloves may not save you from small cuts. Too delicate hands are better not to do such things.
- Manufacturing defects. The house is still not a workshop, and it can be difficult to make some calculations - hence the roughness and unevenness on a product that seems to be ready and verified to the smallest detail. Well, if the table is made for giving, but in a standardized room the result can become the subject of offensive jokes and just look out of place. For the manufacture of an impromptu "bureau" or other structures more complex than an ordinary table, skills and some experience are still needed. It would be time to earn it.
- Need a tool. If it is not there, everything is simple - you have to buy and master it. Time is already money, and there are additional costs at the first stage. However, in the long run, such an approach will lead to savings - the next table will be made almost for next to nothing, especially if there are stocks of material in the country.
- Not suitable for all styles. You need to be careful to experiment with homemade products in modern interiors, for example, high-tech, where metal and technological materials “rule the ball”. It is difficult to work with them, and wooden products can disrupt the harmony of the room.
A little advice. If you decide to make a table, and this is the first experience, try to find a good adviser who will psychologically and with the help of his skills support the undertaking. You can take the first steps together, and then go on a free “flight”.
Assembly features
There are many types of tables. The most common are writing, computer, toilet (with or without a mirror). Desktops differ depending on whether they are designed for a laptop or made for a desktop computer. In the latter case, you will need a special space for the system unit - it can be installed both under your feet and at eye level.
Each of the options has its own advantages that affect the design of the table. In the first case, the system unit will not get in the way at hand, but it will not be very convenient to connect USB ports to it from behind. When designing, you should leave a significant open space behind the table, do not put it near the wall. If the system unit is located on top, the bureau should be as stable as possible, and the table top should be made of durable, reliable material.
If there is a goal to design a desktop for a student, including a collapsible structure, it is reasonable to build drawers for notebooks, textbooks and CDs into it. An alternative is a separate shelf above the structure. Drawers can be either drawers or open shelves. The backlight is up-to-date.
Tables can also be angular, transformers; height-adjustable, collapsible, on wheels.
All these are not frills, but practical design elements. Among the more complex options, for example, river tables with a beautiful, often transparent material built into the middle part are popular. Their production will take more time and require higher locksmith skills, however, it will allow not only to upgrade your working “skills”, but also to make a real interior artifact. Each of the types of tables has its own assembly features and specifics. Consider some of the most popular, simple and affordable options for creating a table that do not require the heights of technical training, but allow you to create high-quality and interesting products that do not look awkward or poor even in a modest interior.
Instruments
But before you start carpentry manipulations, you need to decide what and with what you plan to work. You need to get down to business in full "instrumental" readiness. Do not be afraid, nothing rare and particularly complex will be required - only the usual working arsenal, which is always at hand for a real man. So, let's list the main ones. You can’t do without the “classics of the genre” - nails, screws, a screwdriver, a planer, a hammer, glue (instantaneous is also useful), a knife. In some cases, you can use a saw (in nature). Do not forget about work gloves and disinfectants. Be sure to have iodine and cotton swabs with you, unless, of course, the goal is to make a table, and not to get sick with tetanus.
The fact is that when sanding wood (with sandpaper or other device) it can turn out to be very “unfriendly” and just stand up with a pile. When working with metal, more metalwork tools are needed. And in any case, it is better to get eye protection - a special working mask. For the subsequent processing of the material and its cleaning, a brush and disinfectants, including those against insects, are also useful, especially when using old wood. You can also clean the table with sandpaper.
And, of course, you need varnish or paint for final processing. You may have to varnish the countertop several times (after the first one, the pile will simply stand up), which means that it is better to buy it with a margin.
Popular materials
One tool is obviously not enough. There is something, but nothing to work on yet. The main thing, of course, is the material. Theoretically, a table can be made from anything, but there are subtleties. The most popular is wood, but it must be dry! If it is not dry, dry it; it will take time, but for the sake of the quality of the product, in this case, do not rush anywhere.
A table made of dry wood, logs, timber is a wonderful and reliable element of the interior. Beautiful, functional and affordable. On this option, it will be possible to save a lot if there are inexpensive bars or logs at hand - they are stored, for example, in the country. In stores, good wooden tables definitely do not belong to the category of the cheapest.
Wood is trending right now. This is the main eco-material. You can’t do without it in interiors tailored to the natural style. In fact, it is wood in one form or another that is played up in all classical interior styles, up to colonial or modern.
You can make a bureau from chipboard. The material is composite and quite affordable. But it has a lot of downsides. Chipboard is afraid of moisture - no longer an option for the kitchen. It does not hold nails and screws well - unnecessary difficulties in the work. And in general, it is not very environmentally safe - it is better not to keep too many chipboard products in the apartment. Nevertheless, such a table can be placed, for example, in a house or on a veranda in a country house - as an inexpensive, temporary option - for the season, for receiving guests. Inexpensive, simple and moderately aesthetically pleasing, and most importantly - functional.
Let us clarify that laminated chipboard is also on sale - also wood and shavings, only laminated in a special way - with a polymer film at high temperatures, or even with a special varnish that provides increased water resistance. Chipboard is more expensive, but such boards are practically devoid of all the shortcomings of chipboard.
However, the use of plywood will be no less practical. There are many types of it - there are also moisture resistant ones. This means that the range of applications is wider. In Russia, this material is gaining popularity and is also massively exported, which indirectly indicates its quality. Plywood is quite easy to process and not too expensive. Of the minuses - its facelessness, dull texture and the accompanying feeling of unnaturalness. In addition, when working with plywood, it is necessary to carefully approach the preparatory stage. Without a sketch, a drawing is indispensable. You can use both ready-made projects, and make it yourself.
The easiest way is to make a table from a furniture board, for example, ash. This is a little more expensive, but at the same time it will ensure the reliability of the main part of the table - the table top. Less worries with polishing, but at the same time somewhat less naturalness and texture.
An extreme alternative is the use of natural wood: stumps (by the way, they can be used on their own, but this is already a designer chic) or saw cuts. With them, everything is exactly the opposite. You will have to grind and varnish it yourself several times, but in the end you will get a completely unique unique product that all lovers of “natural” design can appreciate, unless, of course, after gatherings they leave without a few splinters in various places.
Often in the design of the table, glass or special optical glue, plexiglass glue, is used to replace it. You can also buy just impact-resistant glass - although it will come out more expensive. It's stylish, effective and safe. This material is optimal for small oval coffee tables, but recently it has been increasingly used by designers in models with right angles.
We also add that the legs and base can be metal. You should not be afraid of the combination of wood and metal - with a competent design, it can be not only harmonious, but also very interesting. In modern interiors, loft and hi-tech, sometimes you can’t do without it. In addition, metal is effectively combined with glass or its analogues.
Kitchen table
This is an absolutely necessary element of the interior. It should be comfortable, comfortable and stable. The surface of the tabletop is often of no fundamental importance - usually it is covered with a tablecloth or oilcloth. When making it yourself, it is important to pay attention to the lower parts of the structure so that you can sit at the table without problems, and you can always place your legs comfortably.
A good DIY dining table can be made in just a few days. According to home "masters", even very beautiful large models took them no more than 7-10 days. Any material can be used - the easiest way to work with chipboard, plywood and wood. The main thing is that the beams and boards are even and well sanded.
Carefully study their dimensions, bring them to the norm if necessary - it is hardly advisable to make a kitchen table more than 80 cm in height. The shape and size of the countertop will depend on the interior and the availability of free space in the kitchen.
The table, although the main element of the interior in such a room, should not occupy the entire place. Therefore, especially in small kitchens, it is practical to make it square - you can approach it from all sides, and more than four people behind it are still unlikely to fit. In large dining rooms, on the contrary, it is better to stay in the classic rectangular format.
An oval or round tabletop will also look interesting, especially if you choose beautiful curly legs for it - this, however, will require good carpentry skills.
When working on a standard wood model, fasten the beams or boards with the planks at the bottom under the tabletop. A practical option with plywood. It is better not to use chipboard - there is always high humidity in the kitchen, and something is accidentally spilled regularly, and this material, as you know, does not withstand the influence of the water element.
An interesting idea would be to create a sliding table. In this case, the fasteners must be flexible. But you can do it easier. Still, making a sliding table in the format of one design with your own hands is not a trivial task.
Therefore, make two small rectangular products of the same dimensions. During the day, they can be moved to different parts of the kitchen or even an apartment, and moved before eating together, thereby forming a large table. A very practical option for small kitchens. When manufacturing, pay attention to the lower parts - partitions and beams should not interfere with each other when connecting tables.
If the kitchen is very small, you can make a folding table. Assemble the countertop and attach a special bracket to the wall. Such a “desk”, as a rule, has only two legs, which means that they should be placed so that at least three people can fit behind it at the same time. Another option is to build a small cabinet for storing dishes and food instead of one of the legs. This is the perfect way to save space.
When designing a table with a sink, it is better to seek the help of a professional. It will not be difficult to make sketches and the main structural elements, but the main thing is that they do not interfere with the passage of pipes under it. So you can't do without a locksmith and a plumber.
At the final stage, it is better to process any table. How to cover it and how to decorate it is a matter of taste. It can be varnished and covered with a tablecloth, or even trimmed with special tiles or even stone. The field for experiments is large.
Many color palettes, including bright ones, will fit into the interior of the kitchen. Do not be afraid to make the table red, yellow or green - it is fashionable, pleasant and aesthetically pleasing, it will create a good mood when cooking, eating and communicating with household members and guests.
And one more tip for kitchen tables. If you want to design a product with a drawer, make the design of the latter as reliable and airtight as possible so that moisture does not get there. Assemble it from several boards or planks and securely fasten them with special glue or nails. When using plywood, it should ideally not be thicker than 20mm.
High-quality grinding and processing is important, including against insects. Remember that the kitchen, as a place to store food and prepare food, is a favorite environment not only for cockroaches, but also for various arboreal and moisture-loving insect species, especially in hot climates.
For computer
The table for the computer should be compact and functional. It is always better to design it with a margin. There are two main concepts:
- Table for desktop computer. If the technique is powerful, for example, gaming, you will have to make the table long and wide enough. A monitor will take up a lot of space on it. A diagonal of 20 inches and wide screen rotation means the user is mobile at the table, which means that there should always be a place to put your hands. A separate measurement should be made taking into account the dimensions of the keyboard.
Other devices should also be placed on the table - a mouse, joysticks, gamepads, or even a game role. Part of the space will be occupied by the system unit. It can be installed at the bottom of the table - for this you will have to make special ceilings so as not to put the equipment on the floor. The table should not be closed - high-quality cooling is very important for a powerful computer, and open space will provide the necessary air circulation.
At the same time, the design of the table is of no fundamental importance - in any case, it will be forced by technology. The main thing is to use high-quality varnish and paint so that the surface is smooth, it is easy to wipe it and it does not accumulate a lot of dust that is dangerous for equipment.
- For laptop. When measuring, keep in mind that both the computer itself and the hands of a person working or playing behind it should fit on it. Often, a full-fledged keyboard is also separately connected to portable computers, so it is better to use material with a margin. Leave room for the mouse too.
We add that almost any shape of a computer table can be made. Previously, there was an opinion that it should be rectangular, but practical experience has shown that oval tables, in particular for laptops, are a very interesting solution. If you attach wheels to them, turning them into an analogue of a coffee table, you can easily move with a computer around the room - show videos to friends from convenient angles or, conversely, if necessary, quickly and quickly immerse yourself in work or correspondence away from prying eyes.
However, a table with right angles has some specific advantages. It is easier to equip it with drawers and shelves for storing books and CDs. Do not forget about the reliability of fastening these structures, since the weight of a music or game collection can reach 7-10 kg.
night table
It is better to make a night table extremely compact. Dimensions are not his strong point, the main thing is the convenience of the form. First of all, adjust the dimensions of the materials to the height of the bed. It is better to make it flush with the level of the mattress, but it's okay if it gets lower. A tall night table is not too impractical, although it is found as an example in some design schools. If aesthetic qualities are more important to you, it is reasonable to experiment in this direction. In this case, you can choose any shape - from oval to rectangular and square.
The design concept should be included in the composition of the bedroom interior. For classic styles of materials, it is better to choose wood. Moreover, in the case of retro and historical styles, the more authentic it is, the better. If you have skills in artistic carving, then in this case it's time to use them. In modern interiors, a wooden product will also be relevant - if necessary, the texture will be hidden under varnish, paint or a tablecloth. The color scheme depends on the color of the room. The color should be in harmony with the bed, linens, and ideally with the floor and ceiling. Radical contrasts are out of place here.
Particular attention when working on a night table should be given to its stability. The leg can be made big. If there are several of them, they should turn out to be absolutely identical. Please note that not only an alarm clock or a table book is placed on the night table, but sometimes they rely on their hands - it should withstand such loads without problems. The table can also be equipped with several drawers, or, if the level of technical skill or the specifics of the material does not allow, with an open shelf.
Coffee table
In many houses and apartments, the habit of laying out newspapers and magazines on the coffee table has already become a thing of the past. They were replaced by new means of communication - various gadgets - from iPhones to laptops. But they also need to be placed somewhere, even if just put on charge. Before making such an interior item, it is better to immediately determine its functionality.
The main thing is to learn one simple truth: no one works for magazine "bureaus" - at best, they earn extra money, so they should be low, aesthetic and comfortable for a relaxed pastime. And it is aesthetics that come first. Your guests will remember, first of all, the design and material of the table. Another point is functionality. It is good if such a table has a space under the tabletop where you can put something.
So, as materials it is better to take chipboard or boards. They should be collected on dowels with the utmost, maximum accuracy - so that the junctions of the elements are not visible.
An additional crossbar will make the table more stable and reliable. If the design incorporates metal (legs), a welding machine will be required. A rectangular metal element can be placed in the base. Do not forget to strengthen the sidewalls in the same way. A very common option with glass (or transparent glue). Such tables are often found in offices, waiting rooms and other "guest" facilities. However, as the experience of many designers shows, it fits well into home interiors.
When manufacturing, it is important to pay attention to a wooden or metal base - it will be visible under glass! Cruciform shapes work well. Do not forget that glass can also be used simply as an additional component. For example, close them part of a classic wooden table. It is advisable to equip the resulting already light object of the interior with wheels. Such a “mini-transport” will be especially relevant in a large living room, as well as in an apartment where there are always a lot of children (then, however, you should not experiment with glass once again). It is a good and useful item for fun and leisure.
But the mobile table should be light. Massive - it is better not to equip with this “bonus”, but to make it from durable heavy overall boards. It will ground the interior, make it more collected.
There is also an option with a table-transformer. It is practical, but not always aesthetic. However, if you make a double (in height) base, then it can even be used as a conditional easel. We add that coffee tables, as a rule, are still small and are usually designed for one, maximum, four people. Sizing is purely personal. Only the height is fundamental - it can vary from 40 to 60-80 cm. Do not forget also that in some situations the product can also be used as a bookcase in combination - for this you will need to make shelves and compartments that meet your needs.
With regard to the color scheme, let's say the contrast of the table top and legs. The combination of metal and wood looks good. You can draw a picture on the surface or make an unusual ornament, but it’s easier to just cover it with something - you don’t have to repaint the products every time you change your mood and taste. And one more thing - about the form. Magazine furniture can be both round and rectangular-square - a matter of taste. Round products are used more often because they are safer and more democratic.
The knights of King Arthur, after all, also sat at the round table, so in the living room, the place of reception and gathering of guests, each of whom often wants to show their individuality and initiative, it is better to do without seats at the head of the table and other patriarchal delights, and for children are safer - once again they will not hit.
Summer cottage furniture
A holiday in nature is a wonderful pastime, however, in order to really have a good rest and sit in a company, you need a high-quality and comfortable table. Such furniture is very specific. On the one hand, it must withstand high humidity - if it is standing outdoors in the rain, on the other hand, it is very unpretentious in terms of aesthetic qualities and always gravitates towards naturalness. In nature, a glass table or an expensive metal product will be inappropriate.
So, before you start making such furniture, you need to decide on an important point: where it will stand and how mobile it should be. Basically there are two options:
- Fixed outdoor table. Typically, such structures are placed near the garden house or away from it in comfortable places to relax - under an apple tree or other fruit tree. The main thing is that such an exterior item be durable and reliable, stand on its “legs” as firmly as possible. It is reasonable in some cases to even dig the legs into the ground. The surface can be anything, but preferably wood.
The main thing is to remove pile and shavings from it, as they can lead to unpleasant and deep injuries or just a splinter. Please note that the surface must be moisture resistant - the table will regularly get wet in the rain. In cases of heavy rainfall or just a long absence in the country, it is better to cover it with something, say, oilcloth. This will not save you from high humidity, but it will protect you from direct contact with water.
- Movable table in the country house. As a rule, this is a more compact option. It can be used indoors, taken out to the veranda or outdoors. The main emphasis in self-manufacturing is best done on the use of lightweight materials so that it can be carried.
Wheels are unlikely to help much (the landscape in the country is not always even), although they can also be attached, but this will make the structure less stable. A good bonus would be the ability to push or assemble the table. For the winter season, such a table can be completely folded and put into the attic so that it does not deteriorate.
What is better to make a table for giving? Pallets, boards, old logs, for example, from an already unnecessary or dilapidated fence, partitions from boxes, an old tire, or whatever, can come in handy. It is better not to use glass and not to abuse metal. The latter tends to rust: this is not so scary, but aesthetically it can spoil all natural harmony, unless, of course, there is a desire to create an entourage of a post-apocalypse.
Boards for countertops in the country are best fastened from below with the help of planks. There is another option with gluing - this is a more time-consuming technology, after processing it will be necessary to pull off the boards and keep them in this state for about a day. If the material is old, it is better to arrange it by color, align it stylistically with color.
Light - to light, dark - to dark, with interweaving of color contrasts closer to the center. Don't strive for perfection with constant alignments - naturalness doesn't have to be symmetrical. The next step is to sand the surface. Better to do it with sandpaper.
When working with legs, the main thing is to make them the same length - otherwise there will be little pleasure in eating at such a table. It is important that their surfaces are not beveled, but even. However, if you dig your legs into the ground, and there is no saw at hand, you can always compensate for a couple of centimeters, but only as a last resort.
Then, after designing the design, the countertop must be varnished. After the first time, the pile will probably rise, so we process it twice. For reliability in the lower part at the final stage, you can make an additional support-mount. It will make the structure more stable and allow you to comfortably position your legs.
In continuation of the work, you can also attach benches to the table - make them part of a single structure. It is better to connect the bench to the table with special wooden planks using nails or long hairpins. For reliability, you will also need washers and nuts. The seats themselves are made according to a similar principle, only their height, of course, is lower than the table, and the mounts should be even more reliable - it is better to make cruciform ones.
The final step is painting. Gray, brown, natural tones look good. Bright colors look too eclectic, unless you have a modern country house design, and instead of trees, artificial vegetation.
And a few more words about the size. As a rule, country tables are long, but not too wide - so it is easier and more convenient to approach them. Do not install them too close to bushes, especially thorns, gooseberries or cherries, it will be painful to approach them.
The distance from the fruit trees must also be reasonable, otherwise you can repeat Newton's experiment, but this is unsuccessful. The height of country tables, as a rule, is made average, since both adults and children usually sit at them. So with built-in seats it is better not to overestimate the design.
How to arrange lighting
This question is relevant both for small night tables and for working products on which a computer is installed. You can put a small floor lamp on the night "buro", it is reasonable to stretch the wire with the switch to the bed so that each time they do not reach for the table and do not drop the lamp in the dark. On a desktop, it makes sense to use a table lamp as well, but as we experiment with homemade designs, other more interesting possibilities emerge.
If you make a small “add-on” above the table from several panels - plywood and chipboard, securely attach them with nails, then under them you can install an ordinary light bulb, or better, an LED. It will be more efficient to use two or three small spot LEDs. They will provide high-quality and uniform lighting.
A child who studies at the table, and an adult in the process of work, can read at any time without problems. To work at a computer (so that the light does not shade the screen), it will be possible to turn on only one point of illumination, which is reasonable to place a little to the side - it will become a source of subdued light.
Among modern design concepts, there are also options for lighting tables from below, through the design of the countertop, however, it will be problematic to cope with such a complex “technical task” without a qualified electrician, and the practical benefits of such structures leave much to be desired.
The choice of light temperature for almost any table design is purely individual and depends more on the place of use. In classic small bedrooms, warm color combinations will be relevant.
In the interior of the kitchen, on the contrary, cold shades will fit more harmoniously. Much depends on the style. Hi-tech, for example, is often imprisoned precisely for a cool range. Accents in the classic, colonial style and some variations of the loft, on the contrary, are best placed on the warm segment.
Forms
The table can be made absolutely anything, completely carved-carved, but the design has already developed several classic and practical shape ideas. Among them:
- Rectangular. It was these tables that were popular in almost all historical eras. In Russia, the boyars gathered behind them, they served as a place for a meal for peasants in huts and the basis of tavern life.
In Soviet times, they were slightly pushed back by other forms - square, designed to minimize living space as such. Now rectangular tables are no longer associated with the ideas of dominance and patriarchy, but have retained their immanent massiveness and hardness. Most often used in large rooms. Suitable for summer cottage, living room, spacious kitchen.
- Square. Products of this form allow you to perfectly organize the space. Their use is reasonable and economical. In addition, it is always possible to move such tables. Often there are folding models that turn from square into rectangular.
It is not easy to make such a product on your own. However, you can simply make two identical tables. Let us clarify that in terms of a home-made approach, it is square and rectangular tables that are suitable for the “pen test” of novice masters. And it’s easy to make, and the field for experiments is wide.
- rounded. A round or oval piece of furniture is suitable as a coffee or night table. This is an ideal shape for apartments where families with children live, as it avoids unpleasant collisions with sharp corners. It is technically more difficult to make them, but the most unexpected items, for example, car tires, can always come to the rescue.
- Designer forms. Table edges do not have to be even. Sometimes they are made curvilinear. Products can be rounded on one side, having right angles on the other. Triangular patterns are becoming more and more popular.
For example, in the kitchen it will be advantageous to look at a table that is rectangular in relation to the seats and rounded towards the sink and cabinets. Guests will be able to sit comfortably, and the hostess or host, while treating them, will not constantly bump into corners. Naturally, the manufacture of such models will require higher technical skills. The main difficulty will be how to cut a suitable shape. This also imposes some restrictions on the materials used - beams, boards and logs in many such structures are technically inapplicable.
How to make from improvised materials
Sometimes it’s hard to restrain the fantasy, then very interesting options for improvised “desks” are born, which can be used both in nature and in modern high-tech interiors and not only - even at work. It is not difficult, for example, to make a table from a car wheel, or rather, tires. Attach chipboard to it on one side - a little less than the radius, and on the other - legs. You can decorate the side surfaces and the lid to your taste.
If you drag the table with fibers or ropes, you will also get an ottoman - two in one at once. To create more effective fasteners, stock up on liquid nails. The cover of such furniture can be made removable and subsequently stored in the "wheel" whatever your heart desires. With a competent approach, such a hiding place will completely become a mini-safe, where you can protect things at least from children, and not every unlucky thief who breaks into your home will guess such a little trick.
Nobody bothers to collect old boxes into a useful design: you get a kind of interesting labyrinth table. However, here you need to be very careful - many craftsmen who posted their creations from boxes on the Internet turned out to be something more like an urn. To avoid this, do not leave too much free space in the center of the structure.
Another, perhaps even more extreme option is to design a table based on an old suitcase. Such Soviet colossus is waiting for the hour of its disposal on many balconies of the country, and, perhaps, their finest hour has come right now. Just do not rely in the literal sense of the word on exceptional Soviet quality - it is better to strengthen the product with sheets, for example, plywood. You will need more legs and wheels.
Disinfect the product before starting work. At the final stage, it can be varnished, painted or pasted over with a cloth. This option is suitable for colonial and various retro styles, and in general it will look at least original in any room. With benefit in working on the table, you can also use old frames - the main thing is to strengthen them well. With adequate design, you can achieve all the benefits of the effect of pop art style.
A loft-style pallet table will decorate almost any interior of a modern living room. You can also make an interior object from pallets, from an old window sill or countertop (with an antique effect), from ceramic tiles, professional pipes. A table made of a profile or water pipe is a fashionable idea at all. And in general, almost anything is suitable for creating creative furniture: from old chests and barrels to mirrors, wallpaper rolls and batteries - the main thing is to trust your imagination, sense of style and technical skills in working with material and tools.
Beautiful interior placement ideas
And finally, let's look at some interesting examples of homemade tables in various interiors. Let's start with the cottage. At a distance of a few meters from the landings, a large table made of lacquered boards will fit in well. Light or dark brown color will be in perfect harmony with the greenery. The tabletop is divided into five parts along the narrow part (according to the number of boards). Having fastened them from below, we will keep the effect of naturalness and naturalness.
From below, the table will also be fastened with two overlaps, on which it will be convenient to put your feet. The benches are also attached to the table (consisting of three boards each). Favorable design is emphasized by additional neat carving on the sidewalls. As a result, we have before us almost an example of the pre-revolutionary tsarist Russian style of the mid-19th century, or even modern (how to look).
It was in this environment that connoisseurs of rural idyll met guests at the beginning of the 20th century, organized creative meetings, exhibitions and even theatrical performances. Such a table does not look old-fashioned, it seems to continue the interior of a classic country house, where there is at least glass and metal.
Another example. Table-river for the living room. The easiest way to make a transformer with your own hands is to make its imitation, that is, do not use a plug-in structure in your work, but paint the product accordingly. In fact, this is a classic wooden table with a relief surface, which will successfully stand next to a sofa or armchairs.
The color is better to choose depending on the style of the room. Light wood will be in harmony with light light tones and vice versa. The dyed part (blue or its shades) should be in harmony with the chandelier or ceiling. On such a table, low vases with flowers or greenery will look beautiful. The simpler the design of such a table, the better - it can be used both as a coffee table and as a dining table.
The next idea - for a corner computer table - is also quite real for do-it-yourself implementation. We will make the corner parts rectangular, and the one that protrudes on us is of an arbitrary, but wide and comfortable shape, so that you can put your hands on it, put the keyboard. From materials we use plywood or chipboard.
Regular wood will work, as will old countertops, but working with the form in this case will be a little more difficult. If, nevertheless, a “difficult” material is chosen, pay attention to varnishing and painting, it is better to pay special attention to these stages of work.
We use uniform color schemes, without abusing light shades. In our example, the table will be brown. However, for the perfection of the design idea, the color of the table should be harmonized with the color of the monitor, keyboard and system unit.
Among the night tables, a two-level version will be practical and easy to manufacture. It's easier to make it rectangular, but if skills allow, it's better to make it round. The lower overlap is placed at the level of 10-15 cm from the floor, the upper - at the level of the height of the mattress.
For a bedroom decorated in dark colors, a soft dark texture is suitable. The table can be painted even in black paint. It will thus become a color spot in the room, giving additional contrast to the bed and floor. A nice visual effect will appear if you place a carafe of water and a glass on it.
And the last example is a compact small night office with two drawers. In this case, choose dark colors. The wood will need to be well processed and varnished. The design of drawers is as simple as possible.
Coffee table - at first glance, not the most necessary furniture. Therefore, its acquisition is endlessly delayed. But it is precisely such items that make the interior truly cozy and comfortable.
