Classic desk in the interior

Modern interior design implies a completely different view on practical household items. Furniture sometimes changes not only externally, but also functionally. However, the classic desk in the interior is the central element: whatever the design innovations, it does not lose its relevance and has a number of advantages.

A classic desk is a traditional piece of furniture in the form of a familiar rectangular shape with a massive worktop, four support legs and, depending on the type, a set of different drawers, shelves, space for papers, computer accessories and other items. Its design is often heavyweight and often has additions in the form of mounted systems. The main purpose of the classic desk is the organization of the working space of the room. It is versatile, roomy, provides a comfortable placement of the necessary supplies, contributes to the correct position of the spine, if used in conjunction with the "right" chair.

The classic version of the desk differs from other style analogues: elements in it are not embedded in the window sill, they are not foldable, but may have an angular shape. This is a universal, more common version of the table, which is easily installed in any type of room, regardless of its size and design features. It is the classic that makes the desk special and in demand: it is needed in every home.

By type of appointment, these tables are divided into three groups:

• apprenticeship - options for students on the principle of the organizing desks with different possibilities, including the mechanism for changing the angle of inclination;
• office - writing desks for general use with different design and a set of shelves and convenient compartments;
• desk - furniture for home offices.

Tables for pupils (schoolchildren, students) are supplied with additional systems for storing necessary items (books, textbooks, exercise books, etc.).They are designed for one (linear) or two users (angular). Such furniture is a practical thing in which the decorative functions are considered secondary.

Cabinet models are recognized as one of the best, they look presentable, massive, may have thick countertops, a special status finish and impressive dimensions, while not forgetting about its intended purpose - creating maximum comfort and convenience for long-term work. These are models of a linear plan with a sufficiently large length of the table top (about 2 m), often with incrustation in the form of a type-setting pattern or a partial skin weave.

Office models are made without reference to status and do not have a propensity to demonstrate the welfare of the owner. To a greater extent, they are subject to strict functionality, are cheaper than premium counterparts, differ in linear and angular form, as well as a large number of spacious shelves and drawers of an open, closed, sliding, table type.

Regardless of the fact that the classic style desk is acquired according to professional or personal requirements, it has a lot of advantages, because:

• in most cases, fits perfectly into the style of the room, giving the atmosphere the desired working spirit;
• differs in a wide size range, selecting according to personal preferences;
• is a key design element that defines the idea of ​​the interior room;
• It has enough space for work, accommodating on the surface of the table top a standard set of labor accessories (desk lamp, organizer with pens, pencils, clocks, calendar, etc.);

• in most models, in addition to space for the working area, provides for the placement on the surface of computer equipment through additional compartments and shelves;
• can be placed in different rooms of the dwelling (bedroom, living room, study, children's room, home library);
• performed under a different style of interior, which allows to emphasize the general idea of ​​design and zone the room;
• harmoniously placed near the wall or in the center of the room;
• Depending on the material of manufacture and the complexity of the design, it differs in different prices, allowing the buyer to purchase the version he likes based on the budget and taste.

The material is the main factor determining the life of the table. All varieties of classic desks are classified according to the type of raw materials from which they are made:

• Chipboard - budgetary, available raw materials, not distinguished by a long service life, have a simple appearance, after the intended service life has elapsed formaldehyde into the air;
• MDF - more eco-friendly material, different acceptable cost, more pleasant in appearance, looks neater and more solid predecessor;
• Tree - natural raw materials with excellent quality and practical characteristics, a very long service life (up to 50 years) and a premium look giving the room's interior a special status.

The wood used in the production of models is diverse.

Most trademarks use raw materials of solid varieties:

• beech;
• cherry
• oak;
• nut.

Color solutions of desks of classical style are various and depend on the taste preferences of buyers. Fans of traditional models of wood choose natural dark shades, and the wooden table should be somewhat darker than the rest of the furniture. Those who like products made of artificial materials, believe that the color of the table can be absolutely anyone, be it white, steel, green, pink or another color.

Desk models are made in dark colors, office is welcomed by light and moderate colors (beige, gray, gray-black and light brown), which help to adjust the employee to the working atmosphere and focus attention. Children's models are more cheerful, however, practicality is a priority, therefore white and milk colors give way to light colors (beige, sand).

The design of the desk, familiar to many since the Soviet times, at one time was due to the rules of manufacture. Thanks to a wide range of models of trademarks from different countries, including Italy and Indonesia, today a desk in the “classic” style is more pleasing to the eye.The simplicity, style and special refinement inherent to Italians are reflected in every model. The line of Baltic manufacturers is distinguished by the presence of unique decorative elements, German designs stand out against the general background with large dimensions and luxurious pretentiousness.

In the fashion model of antiques, as well as their imitation of a high level of performance. Although such furniture is more expensive than analogues, it is very popular in the interior of a study or library. Through the nobility of wood and expensive decor, it gives the room a slight touch of antiquity and emphasizes the refined taste of the owners of the house.

The choice of the table - the lesson is not difficult, but thorough.

To make a purchase successful and durable, it is worth considering a few basic factors:

• personal choice in a proven store: so you can have a general idea about the quality of the raw material, the hue of the material, size and configuration (you can avoid return problems if the color of the parts is different or a defect is found);
• age of the user: status is important for an adult, therefore a wood model is preferable, MDF is suitable for a child (chipboard is excluded);
• the color scheme of the model: a black monochromatic color casts a depression, beige, brownish provides a positive attitude (a contrasting finish is welcomed);

• form of the model: creativity is allowed for an adult, but is inappropriate for the child and instead of creating the necessary mood, it will distract him from homework;
• tabletop strength and material resistance to mechanical damage, taking into account the attachment of a desk lamp (model on a clothespin or clamp);
• optimal height corresponding to the user's height: support for correct posture, uniform distribution of weight load on the spine and genitals (sitting position is not natural for the spine, so the seat should be as correct as possible, otherwise you can get a number of serious diseases of the musculoskeletal system).
