Get Inspired with these unique coffee tables
In today’s post, we consider unique coffee tables. We already know that coffee tables are a dime a dozen, but if you’re looking for something a little different, these unique coffee tables are just what you need. From designs that look like modern art to pieces that are actually made from unusual materials, here are some of the most unusual and interesting coffee tables you’ll find anywhere.
Listen to this post…
Just like home design, coffee table design has come a long way in recent years. No longer are these tables relegated to simply holding magazines and drinks, instead they are full-fledged pieces of furniture, with both style and practicality in mind.
We only have to see the beautiful coffee table design below to recognize that these really are well designed pieces of furniture that you don’t really see on the high street. These are niche, high end, luxury, designer coffee table designs that are more than likely, made to order.
Coffee tables are often called “coffee tables”, but that’s not the only name for them. They’re also called cocktail tables, low tables, side tables, or even occasional tables.
A contemporary coffee table or a modern coffee table, often have storage space if the design direction is towards functionality. However, the modern interior design trend also espouses minimalism which means the shapes and silhouette are simple lines with interesting shapes. The construction is often in premium materials, such as tempered glass, solid wood, marble and metals.
A unique coffee table will make the most of these premium design aspects, often resulting in unusual shapes. However, you can have some basic shapes like a round coffee table…or even a square coffee table that maintains a standard shape, yet has something that makes it a piece of unique furniture. Your living room design often dictates the style that will suit, everything in a modern living room has to be congruent style wise, to achieve the best effect.
In a small space, it is even more important that you think carefully to get your perfect coffee table. The proportions accepted in modern design must be correct to achieve a great visual effect. If you have a small space, you need a small coffee table…it really is that simple.
Can you create your own unique coffee tables? The simple answer is yes. It will be difficult to construct an unusual coffee table, something that would be considered a unique piece, something from unusual moldings but using basic materials, you could create a cool coffee table. This falls into the bracket of a diy coffee table, often made from a wooden pallet or reclaimed wood, to create a wooden frame. The metal legs can be bought easily, with the modern trend being hairpin legs.
Once constructed, you end up with a wooden coffee table that matches your decor and furniture, such as your sofa, dining table, end table or flooring. The last thing you want is for people to say you have a cheap coffee table, so consider using as many premium materials as you can. Your finish should also be good, so consider hiding the fixings and consider an excellent finish like rounded edges to the surface.
