Why You Shouldn't Buy a Glass Dining Table: 3 Reasons That Will Make You Change Your Mind
If you are the owner of a small kitchen, you may have come across the recommendation of designers to replace a solid wooden table with one made of glass.
It is believed that such models make the space more spacious and do not weigh down the room.
It is hard to argue: glass tables look beautiful and stylish. But the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, calls not to forget that such models have their downsides.
Firstly, all stains – splashes, drops of grease and even fingerprints – are immediately visible on the glass. This means that you will have to spend much more on cleaning the furniture if you want it to look well-groomed.
Secondly, when the dishes come into contact with the glass surface, a loud noise is emitted, which can disturb other family members, especially if you live in a studio apartment.
And thirdly, few people like to see the legs of the person sitting next to them during dinner. If you put napkins on a transparent table, then the whole point of it is lost.
Therefore, if you want to visually enlarge the space and make it “light”, it is recommended to hang a mirror on the wall and add metal details to the interior.
As a table, it is worth choosing a round model made of light wood, which will harmoniously fit into the kitchen environment.
