Tables and chairs for a small kitchen: 100+ photos [Ideas 2019]

Although in recent years twenty new buildings have become more spacious, isolated small kitchens in typical houses are not uncommon today. However, not everyone has the opportunity to put a dining table with chairs in another room, and not everyone wants to. Therefore, a table in a small kitchen is still necessary, moreover, comfortable, roomy and not taking up much space. Consider solutions to the problem on the example of foreign and Russian projects.

What is an ideal table for a small kitchen - round or rectangular?

Perhaps this is the first question when choosing a table for a compact kitchen. It’s obvious: the round table has no corners and you can sit behind it more closely, and put the rectangular one close to the wall, saving space. However, you can sit denser at a rectangular table, and move it round to the wall.

When choosing one or another form of countertop, consider 4 points:

1. The location of the table.

If the table is not far from the aisle, it is better to choose a round option. Surely you have repeatedly touched the corner of a rectangular table. In a round tabletop situation, bruising can be avoided.

2. What to sit on

In this small kitchen, a compact table is complemented by a chair and a banquette - a great option for the company. But if you plan regular family dinners, we advise you to purchase stackable stools.

In some situations, seats need to be planned "in reserve." The designer created this project for a woman who lives on her own, so in the kitchen one soft chair is enough. Beautiful designer stools are provided for guests. Agree, such a scenario looks easier and more original than three large chairs.

3. Kitchen set configuration

Often the shape of the table depends on the design of the kitchen, as in these projects in the photo. The concept of smooth lines and semicircles can be traced here in almost everything.

4. How to put a rectangular / square table

We figured out the location of the round table, and consider options for a rectangular or square one.

In a small kitchen, as a rule, a table is placed against the wall, and chairs - from 3 sides. But if you often receive guests, choose furniture that will allow you to change the script. So, the table and chairs can be folding.

Another option is a rectangular kitchen of 6 square meters. m. The comfortable scenario in this case is as follows: the table is perpendicular to the window, the bench is the entire width of the kitchen. Moving the table away from the window can comfortably accommodate up to seven people.

Another example is a rectangular table along a narrow long kitchen. Such placement is typical for the traditional design of the dining room, but no less practical for a small kitchen.

The passage to the table is accessible from all sides, in addition, you can freely approach the window, which is very convenient: the window sill in a small kitchen is a functional object.

And in this project a compact table without visible supports. Bearing parts - a pair of metal channels mounted in the wall and under the screed, and the countertop is made of corian.

Folding kitchen tables for a small kitchen: models

To stay in the small kitchen as comfortable as possible, the designers thought up several modifications of the kitchen folding tables:

folding;

Folding compact table - option, as in a compartment, for one / two. Stools in this kitchen are not folding, but at the same time take up very little space - they can be stacked on top of each other.

And resourceful designers also found their use in this useless niche, having come up with an interesting dining corner. In the open version, this is a folding geometric table with creative chairs ...

in the closed one there is a neat tabletop under which you can slide the chairs.

An ultra practical and modern solution in terms of organizing a compact dining area was invented in this kitchen. Definitely, this part of the room is a design feature.

with support on a hinge or bar;

A bar table on wheels - an option for those who have not decided on the location. Outside of operation, the stand can always be pushed against the wall. By the way, bar stools are also folding.

In this kitchen project, the small counter is a continuation of the windowsill. The main task here is to find chairs of the correct height. The only option is screw or continuously adjustable models. Standard or traditional bars will not work: the first - too low, the second - excessively high.

retractable;

A retractable table from under the countertop is most often designed to order. However, this solution saves a lot of space in a small kitchen.

If the retractable table does not fit snugly against the wall, it can be supplemented with chairs and a bench.

Compare the following two photos: in the first, there seems to be no table at all; the second shows that he is moving out from under the countertop, harmoniously combining in style with two folding chairs.

table "book" - two surfaces hang on the sides of the countertop, which can be raised if necessary;

transformer;

table with a backup - a continuation of the work stand;

folding stationary fixed to the wall.

Glass transforming table for a small kitchen

Similar models are simply created for a modern interior in the styles of minimalism, hi-tech, loft, art deco. The glass table extends over the entire length of the guide profile, due to which the countertop is increased by half, or even 100%. Dismantling and assembling the structure is simple.

Cons of folding glass tables:

when compared with the colleges, these tables are less durable;

the countertop does not withstand heavy loads and bumps;
high prices. The cost is affected by the quality, reliability of the fittings and countertops.
