For kitchens with a large area, square or round models that are placed in the middle are suitable. Round examples do not have master seats - everyone sitting has the same status, so these models are the most democratic. However, round products need sufficient free space for easy access to them from all sides. Standard apartments with modest kitchens less than 12 m² are not able to accommodate such large models.
In a small kitchen, the table should be placed so that it is not an obstacle to free movement. You should have unhindered use of the refrigerator, oven, etc. You can install the dining set directly by the window. Suitable either regular or as a bar counter along one of the walls. The advantage of this version is excellent lighting throughout the day, but the disadvantage is the need to maintain perfect order on the windowsill. If there is a very narrow window opening, the tabletop is placed with the end side.
When placing dining furniture by the window, appreciate the panorama that opens to your gaze. If you see a gloomy, never-ending construction site outside your window, countless containers of garbage or a busy highway, this idea is not suitable for you.
A rectangular table looks good in a corner. Buy a kitchen sofa (L-shaped) to replace the chairs. It will significantly save space, but is only suitable for a small family (no more than 2-3 people).
A rectangular table mounted along the wall will look good in a kitchen of any size. In addition, it does not interfere with free movement and can be spacious (up to 6 people). The downside is that you can only use three sides.
Before placing the table in the middle of the kitchen, you need to check the distance from it to the wall. At least 75 cm is required so that there are no difficulties when moving a chair, standing up, etc. If there is a doorway behind a sitting person, the distance should be at least 80–110 cm.
When choosing a place for a table, you must take into account where the wall cabinets are located. Perhaps they will disturb those sitting. Experts advise adhering to the rule: from the countertop to the bottom of the wall cabinets - at least 65–70 cm.
The dining table, at which all family members and their guests love to spend time, should be not only comfortable, but also reliable and practical. Look for a model that suits the kitchen in style, size, and can accommodate the required number of people.
Choosing a dining ensemble for the kitchen is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The main thing is to first think through all the details of the kitchen interior. You also need to take into account the requirements for the table itself. Our recommendations will help you make the right choice.
