Bedside glass tables in the interior

The bedside glass table will brighten up any interior. It is chosen by aesthetes and all those who are not alien to comfort and functionality. From the material of this article you will learn what kind of bedside glass models are, what are their features and what are the subtleties of their choice.

Bedside tables are unique interior furnishings with a lot of advantages. They are distinguished by their attractive appearance. Their visual weightlessness relieves the design and makes the space more spacious.

In terms of their functionality, they resemble bedside tables. They can be used to store any decorative elements, accessories. Table lamps can be placed on their countertops. They are practical, durable, environmentally friendly, although they are sensitive to mechanical and shock impact.

In their production, different types of glass are used, for example:

• tempered with high strength (created through high temperature processing);
• triplex with a multilayer structure (connected by means of a polymer film under pressure with heating);
• float (ideal transparent version of optimal thickness without distortion);
• grooved (smooth on the one hand and voluminous with a print of any complexity on the other);
• frosted (processed with sandblasting or with a special paste that corrodes the top layer);
• color with toning (obtained by including various impurities in the molten mass);
• lacobel (option with painting one of the sides);
• stemalitis (glass with ceramic coating on one side).

In addition, reinforced and curved glass is used in the production of models. The thickness of the material, depending on the design of the product, can be from 0.6 to 2 cm. In this case, the structures can be partially or all-glass.

Glass bedside tables can be classified according to different criteria. For example, in form, they are standard, geometric, abstract, design. According to the texture of the material, they are divided into universal transparent, matte and faceted.

The latter options are obtained through diamond and laser engraving. Unusual texture of stained glass products and models created using color etching. Model glass can be decorated with photo printing, liquid paints, lithography.

In addition, only exterior decoration elements can be glass. Bedside glass tables for bedrooms or living rooms can be independent interior elements or part of a furniture set.

These modules differ in purpose. They can be a decorative element that favorably represents a sleeping place, or a kind of organizer for the arrangement of small items. At the same time, the standard width of products varies in the range of 0.4-0.6 m with an average depth of 0.5-0.55 m.

The range of glass bedside tables is diverse... In the lines of manufacturers, there are products made from a single glass sheet of various shapes. There are also options consisting of several glass elements connected into a single structure by means of UV glue or fittings.

Due to the introduction of modern innovative technologies into production, trade marks produce tables of the most unusual configurations. The classic shape of the bedside table can be round, cubic, cylindrical, semicircular. Some options are curved in the shape of letters (for example, "S", "P", "C").

The front type of the bedside glass table can be open and closed. The shelves are most often open. Their number varies from 1 to 3. For models with a facade system, the closed front part consists of hinged doors. Sometimes the drawers are equipped with a roller (telescopic) opening system.

Designer models are distinguished by their extraordinary appearance. For example, a handmade design might be a glass-leaf sculpture table on shark-fin stone supports. The base of the tables can be imitation marble.

Today you can order a creative version in the form of a glass tabletop, under which a florarium with dried flowers is located or green moss grows.

A round table top can even have one support in the form of a swirling spiral. Supports of other designs are chrome-plated or covered with leather. These tables can have a height adjustment system. They are used to work or watch movies on a laptop.

The structure of individual variants can be avant-garde. For example, the support part can be made in the form of azure waves. In addition, individual variants can have not only a typical, but also an offset supporting part in the form of a geometric figure (for example, a ball), fixed on a metal disk.

Laconic options in a modern style are sometimes both simple and unique. For example, they can consist of a classic oval-shaped glass table top and many metal tube supports in chrome-plated steel.

Models with a round glass top with supports in the form of intertwined elements on a metal hoop also look original. Designer models are limited only by the imagination of the masters.

When buying a spectacular glass table for a bedroom or living room, there are a number of nuances to consider. The key one is the height of the product. Ideally, it should not exceed the height of the bed, taking into account the mattress. A low model is inconvenient to use, too high will knock out against the background of the bed.

The parameters of the model must correspond to the area of ​​a particular room. A tiny table with minimal functionality will not look harmonious in a spacious room. Here you can install a product with a pair of book shelves. The optimal sizes are 50x50 and 50x70 cm.

It is important to select a model that matches the style of the existing furniture. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the visibility of the product. On sale there are designs with an open front and back.

They are practically invisible in the interior, which is why they require correct filling and a competent choice of location. For this reason, it is sometimes better to opt for a model with tinted glass or a patterned worktop.

The purchase of an option with laminated glass is also relevant. As for the possibility of visually expanding the space, then in transparent glass it is more. To better fit the product into the interior, it is better to match it to a sophisticated sofa, carved chest of drawers or a wrought-iron headboard.

During the purchase, you need to pay attention to the quality of the edges. They should not have chips or other defects. The supports of the model can be different. The main condition for choosing is that they must be stable and reliable, be it a sculptural image or simple metal tubes.
