White color in the interior gives the room lightness and visually increases the space. However, light walls or floors are often impractical, especially if there are small children in the house.
In this case, you should give preference to furniture in light colors, for example, buy a white table. It will fit perfectly into any interior, and if you choose the right shape and shade, it can be the highlight of the room.
What should you consider when choosing?
Advantages
The designed kitchen will acquire a particularly sophisticated look when using light-colored furniture. A white table in the interior of a room makes it visually cleaner and larger.
Even if it seems inappropriate in the current solution, you should not give up white fittings. The room will only benefit from the right approach to furniture placement.
Next we will talk about the advantages of using light furniture in the interior:
- Versatility. As noted above, white furniture fits well into almost any interior.
- Being a kind of field for creativity, a white countertop will be an excellent complement to both a classic solution and a modern idea. The main thing is the shape and material.
- Single-leg design with a smooth tabletop contour. Designers are introducing such models into interiors with echoes of rustic style. An atmosphere of lightness and ease is guaranteed.
- Excellent color scheme. Since white color combines all the colors of the visible spectrum, it will look natural in any color combination.
- Accents. Even if the room is made in dark colors, a white spot in the form of a dining area will contrast favorably with the overall atmosphere.
Furniture and appliances
When choosing furniture and appliances for a white kitchen with white countertops, there are two traditional options. Or make a monochrome interior and continue to use white and the lightest shades. Or play with contrasts - with black, dark brown, gray or bright colors.
Work zone
A black wooden set and the same black appliances look very impressive with a white countertop. To add color, pay attention to rich red, sunny yellow, calm green or cool blue. In a small kitchen, linear or corner sets are good, but in a large kitchen you can experiment with an island layout.
Dinner Zone
A dining table made of the same material as the worktop looks stylish and at the same time classic. But in a spacious room with clear zoning, you can, on the contrary, play with contrast. For example, take dark wood or glass under a snow-white stone. If a few seats are enough for you, instead of a dining table, pay attention to U-shaped sets or sets with a bar counter included.

Flaws
- Dirt and other defects. Unlike dark interior items, white furniture contrasts with any types of dirt, making them more noticeable.
- Care. If the countertop is made of MDF, additional care will be required.
White table design
Folding table. A practical option for the average family. The functional benefits pay off when hosting guests. It is recommended to purchase a model designed for up to 4 people.
Solid tables. If the house plan allows you to have a spacious kitchen or dining room, then a table with a solid top will be perfect for such rooms.
Transformers. A new trend in the furniture industry. When unfolded, such a table has a length of one meter and a height of more than 70 cm. The ability to adjust the dimensions is a definite plus.
Dimensions
There are no standard sizes for a desk. There are recommendations that make it convenient for work. Orthopedic doctors suggest focusing on the following indicators:
- minimum depth - 60 cm,
- width - not less than 1 meter,
- comfortable space for placing hands - 60x60 cm.
In retail outlets there are tables of three categories:
- Large ones with sides - about 140 cm.
- Medium - 90x130(120) cm.
- Small - 80x120 cm, 60x100 cm.
If you buy a table for a schoolchild, you should consider the possibility of adjusting the height. For this purpose, there are models with telescopic legs.
Materials
The design of a white table suggests a variety of materials for the best selection of furniture for a specific room:
- Tree. Classic option. A suitable solution for setting accents in a room. However, you should be careful when consuming wine, fruits and vegetables: this material cannot withstand the mentioned products. There is a risk of leaving stubborn stains.
- MDF. Wood product. It is a budget option compared to wood. It is characterized by high strength.
- Chipboard. In the hierarchy of pricing decisions it is at the very bottom. Differs in a variety of shades of white.
- Strained glass. A must-have element for white tables. Quite practical material. The white gloss table will become a bright touch in the interior of the room.
Types of supports
Depending on the number of table legs, the entire design of the room can be built, since each case has its own unique mood:
- One. This minimalist style solution is perfect for countertops with smooth shapes. Classics of the genre.
- Two. A lifesaver for kitchens with a small area. Suitable for zoning a dining area.
- Four. The most common option. Suitable for all types of countertops. Fits perfectly into any style.
What colors can be added to the combination of black and white
When you want more dynamics, add a third color, which should occupy 10-20% of the total number of colors. In order for all colors to look harmonious and complete composition without overload or dissonance. So, red. It will add expression and emotionality to a monochrome room. It looks stylish and bold. Remember, use only in accents. Candles, napkins, a vase, towels, flowers, a painting - all you have to do is add them.
Green. Will give freshness and peace. Like a sip of water on a hot day. Also use in accents. This color can be added to textiles on windows. It will not overload the interior.
Yellow. Bright yellow elements will add zest and some American chic. It looks very original and gentle in kitchens. But remember the rule. Place only accents. Don't use color in the base. It will simply dissolve and will not stand out and refresh the interior.
Violet. A trendy shade, but be careful. Not suitable for everyone. Therefore, listen to yourself and do not chase fickle fashion. The advantage of adding bright colors as accents is that they can be changed at any time. And the kitchen will sparkle in a new way.
White table shapes
Tables with smooth shapes. Such models are suitable for spacious rooms. For kitchens with an area of 9 m2 or more, standard tables of 120x80 cm are recommended. This solution will separate the seating area from the rest of the room.

Square tables, as a rule, have an area of 0.5x0.5, 0.7x0.7 and 0.9x0.9 m, since such dimensions do not allow furniture to take up much space in the kitchen or dining room. It will look best near a window.
Rectangular countertops. A win-win option for a small but spacious kitchen. To save more space, it is recommended to place such a table near the wall at a distance of a meter.
High-tech style
Simple and at the same time daring style. The combination of black and white in this version is more the rule than the exception. Metal surfaces, glossy facades, sharp color transitions and smooth outlines of interior details - this is what characterizes this style. For the kitchen, choose glossy facade materials, chrome handles and a countertop that plays on contrast. The kitchen is complemented by a dining area. The white glossy marble countertop on unusual metal supports looks very advantageous. Lighting is built into the ceiling or, on the contrary, decorative metal shades are chosen that complement the entire interior as a whole.
Further care
White furniture is associated with the need for frequent cleaning. Sometimes the white color can turn yellow over time. But with proper cleaning, these problems can be avoided. For example, the IKEA white table is durable and long lasting. By wet cleaning after each meal, you can maintain its freshness for a long time.
There are special cleaning products for such purposes. Glossy models are especially whimsical. By following the manufacturer's recommendations, the furniture will last longer.
Unusual solutions
