How to choose a tabletop?
This element deserves special attention when choosing a dining group. Manufacturers create products from different materials: glass, a rockwood Therefore, it is important to consider the operating conditions of the furniture. If the oval table will constantly stand in the kitchen, then choose materials that are resistant to scratches, liquids, fats, do not require sophisticated care.
Products from natural wood bring to the atmosphere of the kitchen notes of nature. Therefore, remain popular and in demand.
Oval countertops create from:
- pines;
- oak;
- limes;
- walnut
Natural coatings do not lose their strength even after decades of constant use, if they are properly cared for. Surfaces will not crack or chipped. Small scratches are easy to clean, if the area is cleaned with sandpaper and varnished again.
The unique texture and shades of natural wood will never go out of fashion. Furniture manufacturers advise to pay attention to the larch countertops. It is an affordable wood that has a pleasant texture, is not rotting and perfectly withstands kitchen trials.
Oval table made of laminated chipboard is inexpensive and can imitate the texture of stone, wood, artificial materials. The thicker the oval table top, the stronger and more expensive the product. Furniture factories use plates with a thickness of 25-70 mm. And durability depends on the plastic surface layer (it is 0.45-0.8 mm thick).
Advantages of chipboard:
- moisture resistance;
- a variety of textures, shades;
- impact resistance;
- Easy to install by yourself.
Such surfaces and flaws are not without them. If the oval table is heavily exploited, then its service life is short. Water, regularly falling on the ends, the joints, leads to the separation of chipboard. Some dyes (iodine, potassium permanganate, brilliant green) must be wiped away immediately, otherwise the spots will not be able to be removed later.
MDF It is more expensive than chipboard, does not absorb liquids, it looks interesting. The basis of the table top is pasted over with a film, treated with plastic or painted with high-strength enamels.
Surfaces with an underframe, which plays the role of decor, are made of plastic, leather, and rattan.
The positive qualities of oval tempered glass tables can be listed for a long time:

- hypoallergenic;
- organically fit into the interiors of modern styles (high tech, Art Deco);
- a rich choice of decor (sandblasted design, photo printing, decoupage, vintage painting, LED lighting, toning);
- Do not fight and do not scratch.
Only regular wiping of the oval table will keep its well-groomed appearance. Because on the glass surface there are always traces of hands, water droplets, wet dishes. Although you can choose a frosted glass, on which such pollution will be invisible.
Artificial materials began to actively replace natural. Stone artificial oval countertops in the kitchen in style country music or provence give the atmosphere a unique charm. The common material is acrylic composite (70% aluminum hydroxide, mineral fillers, 30% acrylic resins) created a sensation in furniture design.
Advantages of the material:
- wide color palette;
- physical endurance;
- hygiene - there is no fungus on the surface;
- no bacteria linger.
It is difficult to break the surface of the oval table and there is practically no accumulation of grease or household dirt on it. A noticeable crack appeared or a piece of the tabletop broke off - you can repair the defect with a small restoration. It is enough to make light polishing with a special nozzle and the table will again acquire an elegant natural look, shine. A regular sponge with detergent will help keep the working surface clean every day. But hot pans, kettle can seriously spoil the front side of the tabletop. Therefore, we must not forget about the supports for hot items.

Product design is limited only by the customer's solvency.

Color spectrum
The abundance of shades in the interior can spoil the atmosphere of the room. Sometimes it is difficult to choose combinations of tones, and things of suitable colors are not always found. Therefore, the popular and traditional option - the installation of solid furniture. The negative side of such decisions of designs - a boring look that looks uninteresting. Stylists remind that in the trend - bright colors and contrasting combinations. However, we must not forget that the table is not the only piece of furniture. Dining set will look like a single group, if you adhere to these rules:
- furniture is selected in one color;
- objects have different shades, harmoniously combined with each other (white table / pale blue chairs, brown table/beige chairs). It is important that the color scheme fits into the interior;
- the color of the table top and the upholstery of the chairs match;
- the table and the frame of the chairs have the same shade.
And it is not necessary to achieve a coincidence of shades of kitchen modules and furniture group. It will be enough if the table does not attract attention.
As an option: on a snow-white kitchen tabletop of light wood will not dissolve in the interior, but will not become an accent.
The winning solution - the color of the dining group contrasts brightly with the touch of the kitchen unit. A pronounced option - white kitchen and the black table. Or the shades are not close, but identical: gray the kitchen is a pale gray tabletop, the kitchen is milky in color - the table is richly chocolate in color. Such options look much more alive, because they allow you to visually beat the interior, bring interesting accents to the situation.
It may happen that the table categorically does not fit into the kitchen set.. If the object is difficult to refuse, then it is necessary to visually delimit zones. And defiantly beautifully emphasize the dining area - floor carpet, interesting chandelier.
If there is no confidence in their own design abilities, it is not worth the risk.
It is recommended to choose an oval table that “rhymes” even with some element of the interior:
If, with a touch of the tabletop, they “missed”, then you can fix the situation with textiles.The cloth will introduce originality and a cosiness in a situation. There are no difficulties in choosing products now and oval or rectangular tablecloths will do.
A few secrets on the choice of textiles suggest designers:
- material suitable for every day, the shades of which duplicate the tone of the interior (window decor, upholstery of a soft corner or chairs);
- In the kitchen of pastel colors, you can experiment and choose textiles of contrasting colors;
- tablecloths able to complement the original style of the room. Ethnic mood highlights beige, palegreen canvases. Textile blueThe blue flowers will elegantly fit into the classic style;
- the solemnity of the holidays will emphasize a refined white tablecloth or linen, decorated with lace, embroidery.
Tablecloths do not happen much - everyday and ceremonial, at different times of the year, window decor and interior style. Change textiles to the mood and then the situation in the kitchen will always be interesting and fresh.
