For what purpose are they purchased Tables to the kitchen? For quick snacks? Festive dinners? Evening family gatherings? Or will it combine all of the specified functions?
How often and intensively is the use of the table expected? Exclusively during guest visits? Constantly throughout the day? At a certain time?
What is the area of the kitchen?
The answers to these questions will become the selection criteria. For example, for rare festive dinners in a large kitchen-dining room, you can buy a table made of solid wood of a rectangular shape, and for regular meals by family members throughout the day, even in a small kitchen, it is better to buy a table with a round tabletop made of lighter and more practical materials.
A round table for a small kitchen
Of course, it is most difficult to choose a table for a small kitchen. Here, the lack of space dictates its conditions. It is necessary to manage to fit the table into the interior, without cluttering the room and without violating the compositional unity of the setting.
A round table is preferable for a small kitchen. It is physically not massive, does not visually burden the space, brings coziness to the environment. The roundness of the tabletop also provides comfortable seating for people even with small table sizes. It is noteworthy that the round table looks harmonious in any interior - classic, hi-tech, modern, minimalist, etc.
A table with a square table top will be a good alternative to it. But it is better to refuse rectangular models. They visually "distort" the space.
Color "correction"
If in large kitchens it is possible not to stress about the color of the dining table and choose the model you like, then in miniature kitchens you will have to abandon the use of dark tables. Such solid and respectable pieces of furniture visually complicate and burden the space.
The most correct solution in this case would be to purchase models with a glossy glass tabletop. Here it can be combined with a dark base and dark legs.
A table for all occasions
It is no less rational to put a transforming table in a tiny kitchen. Such a model can be unfolded if necessary, turning from round to oval, and from square to rectangular. This allows you to conveniently accommodate a sufficient number of people, and after the dinner is over, you can return the "freedom" of space to the room.
