Three points of support - no unnecessary details

Types of tables - pros and cons

First, let's look at all the existing types kitchen tables (specifically tables, not countertops) to compare the characteristics of triangular kitchen tables.

A table and a couch - a triangular shape in this case fits into the space much more urgently than a square table

Round table

• Smooth lines always symbolize harmony in the house. Such tables unite everyone sitting, set up for positive emotions.

• The absence of sharp corners, which for two reasons can harm us. First, corners can be a source of injury and painful bruises. Second, corners compromise the integrity of the people at the table.
• Stable construction, which is extremely difficult to turn over or fill up.

The disadvantage of this form is the inability to arrange the round table in a small space. It is simply impossible to move it tightly against the wall to clear the passage.

Note! The solution to the problem can be a folding option, when half of the table is in an upright position.

Square table

• Square shape - rigor and functionality. No blurry lines, just clear boundaries between the dining and working areas.
• Fits easily into small spaceswhere it is required to maximize the passage space.

The negative side is the same angles that we wrote about earlier. They can harm your child and you, especially in the dark. And for small apartments, successful an option would be a kitchen table-sill.

Rectangular shapes are as relevant as square ones - they are even easier to place in the kitchen

Triangular table

• Stylish and beautiful. Such a product looks unusual in the interior. Depending on the size, it can fit into any room, be it large or small.
• No sharp corners - the front side has a rounded shape, which reduces the likelihood of injury to a minimum.

But there is also a minus - triangular kitchen tables are suitable for two or three family members, they are not suitable for receiving guests. Therefore, if you have a large family, then you should look for something more suitable for yourself.

Folding triangular table

Our instructions will help you to make a unique piece of furniture, the main element of the dining area exactly as it should be - ergonomic and stylish. To do this, you need to step by step follow what we will describe.

Purchase of materials

• For the countertop, we need chipboard or boards. Since we are considering a budget option, it is better to use laminate flooring. It has a wide variety in colors, and its price does not bite much. We need two corner elements (arbitrary dimensions), with two sides straight and one rounded.
• As legs, you can use steel pipes with a diameter of 50, or the same chipboard.

The number of varieties allows you to find a suitable option even for the most demanding buyers

• Card hinges 2-3 pieces, depending on the size of the table. Or you can install a piano loop. It differs in size, although outwardly it looks a little rustic.

This is what a typical piano loop looks like.

Note! The dimensions of the folding part must not exceed the height of the table, otherwise it will be impossible to accomplish what we want with you.

For work we need the following tools:

• Screwdriver.
• Roulette.
• Construction square.

Do not forget to purchase hardware: corners and screws.

The working process

Building a practical table couldn't be easier

• The first step is to mark the legs on the back of the tabletop. If you purchased steel pipes, place them in the corners and in the center of the rounded side (4 feet in total). This is necessary for the stability of the product.
• Now, using a screwdriver, fasten the card loops on the same side of the tabletop.
• We apply the second tabletop element so that a gap of 1-2 mm remains between the parts.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in this, any man will do it with his own hands. The most difficult thing is to find a suitable size countertops, which are practically not available on the free market. They can be ordered from a furniture organization.

If the table will only stand near the wall, then you can beat its assembly in a slightly different way:

• On two walls, to which the table is moved, horizontal strips are installed. Their size must match the dimensions of the adjacent sides.

Note! It is very important to set them on a level so that the product is more stable.

• We fasten two legs to the back of the tabletop. They should be positioned so that they do not interfere with your meal. Note that in this case we only need two steel pipes.
• Now we put the countertop on the slats and fix the whole thing with metal corners and self-tapping screws.

Both are easy to do at home. Therefore, when guests come to you, you will find something to brag about. Especially if you decorate all this with some beautiful tablecloth. Also place a beautiful vase of flowers there or hang some photos over the table.

Advice! If the table adjoins only one wall, on the other side there is a heating radiator, you can either make cutouts for the pipe, or install an additional leg.

You should get something like this - a neat table for the kitchen space.

Conclusion

A triangular kitchen table fits perfectly into the room if it already has smooth lines. Some styles that use only strict and clear forms are unlikely to accept this product. It will stand out strongly from the rest of the background, which will lead to disharmony in the kitchen.
