A coffee table, a piece of furniture that can lend itself to various uses, is often an element with a banal rectangular appearance, on four legs, without standing out in the space it belongs to.
To escape this monotony and make the coffee table a focal point, a decorative element, you have the possibility to turn to alternatives, creative improvisations of unique coffee tables.
1) A stack of magazines or books can serve as the support for a table. Place a wooden top, or even a smaller, old door, over the stacks of magazines.
2) An old drum can be transformed into a surprising round coffee table. Place a glass top over it, which you can have cut to the size of the drum at a workshop.
3) If you like to stretch your legs when sitting on the sofa, choose upholstered poufs. To make them functional as a table, place a wooden tray on top of them.
4) Ottomans can replace coffee tables, especially when you have children and need to move them frequently. In addition to being a remote control holder, they can also be decorative elements and extra seating for guests.
5) Apart from their storage function, boxes can also be used in the living room as a coffee table. They often have a unique design, so they will complement the decor of the room in an original way. They are suitable for small spaces, where utility perfectly combines with decor.
