A table has two main parts: the top and the base. The top can be considered “the front” of the table. In most cases, it will be the part attracting most attention of people. When people said a table is nice, they usually talk about the top only. It is not denied that a table top plays an important role in giving a nice appearance to the table as a whole. However, the beauty of a table is not fulfilled if it does not have a suitable table base. It can be said that an adequate table base not only makes the table stable but also adds beauty to the table’s look.
Table bases can come in various types and styles. Each has its own beauty and character. With the same table top, if you combine it with different table bases, you will have a table with different look.
In this post, I will focus on wrought iron and mosaic outdoor tables. You know, although a mosaic table has a stunning mosaic table top, its whole look depends partly on the style of its wrought iron table base. How the table base looks affects how classic or modern, simple or elaborate the table is. Let’s take some examples.
As you see, the two table tops above have the same mosaic patterns. However, each looks quite different when combined with different wrought iron table base. The one with a pedestal base in brown has a soft look. The curves of the legs make the base elegant. Meanwhile, the one with white hairpin legs look quite “masculine” and strong. The wrought iron frame reflects something modern.
Another example, look at these round terracotta mosaic bistro tables. What stunning bistro tables! When going with different wrought iron table base, this model of terracotta mosaic table top also have another character. The round table on the left features a delicate table base with curved legs. The base design not only makes a elegant bistro table but also gives more legroom for people sitting around it. With the one on the right, the table base is both neat and aesthetic. The base with three legs and scroll patterns give the table a decorative look and stability.
Now, take a look at these square patio tables. The table tops of the tables are the same in size and mosaic patterns. However, you may find how different they are. It is because the wrought iron table base on the left is different from the one on the right. The one on the left with knock-down table base including four curved legs and a box stretcher give the table a more classic look than the one on the right. Although also featuring a mosaic top, the patio table on the right looks more modern with a pedestal base with a column and a round plate. This type of table base also maximizes the legroom for people sitting around the table.
To sum up, wrought iron and mosaic tables will enhance your outdoor living space. So take time to choose one or more such a table to embellish your garden or patio. And don’t just pay attention to the mosaic patterns of the top. Take time to consider which style of the wrought iron table base can go well with your preferred mosaic top. May you find your desired mosaic outdoor table!
