The coffee table is a piece of furniture that deserves all the attention, being probably one of the most used in the house: moved from place to place when guests arrive, hosting magazines, keys and all the little things from your bag.
Here are some ideas for making a coffee table from recycled objects. You can get inspired by several models and create an original object. To insert it into an already existing environment, it is enough to use a paint shade that matches the interior.
The table with support made of metal profiles, combined with metal corners and screws. A wooden top was placed on top, which can be replaced with OSB or any plate you have available. This is a simple and ingenious way to recycle leftover materials from construction projects.
The table made from wooden crates is an ingenious idea for reusing wooden crates for fruits and vegetables. In this example, four such boxes are combined, fixed on four wooden legs. The antique look of the wood and the square space filled with earth in the middle of the table enhance the beauty of the furniture item.
The table made from wooden planks – a perfect reuse of perfectly finished wooden planks, arranged horizontally in 3 layers and fixed together with wood screws. The legs are metal in the example from the gallery, but they can be replaced with wooden legs, of the same type of plank. The table can be left with natural wood or painted.
The table that uses an old door as a tabletop is another ingenious approach. Keeping the old look of the former door and placing the latch in the middle of the tabletop gives it a dose of originality. The bottom part serves as storage space for various objects, but it can become a display case if a sheet of glass is added.
An unusable wooden barrel can be segmented in two and transformed into a coffee table for the living room. The lower part requires the intervention of a carpenter to scoop out the wood according to the curvature of the barrel, but the top part remains up to your imagination: the tabletop can be made of wood, glass or another solid material.
Vintage suitcases can become unique coffee tables. The legs can be made of wood or metal, and the interior (reconditioned if necessary) can store the coffee set or other objects.
Tree stumps are among the simplest and most effective ideas for coffee tables. After cleaning and sanding, the wood is painted and varnished to be protected.
The table with support made of metal profiles, combined with metal corners and screws. A wooden top was placed on top, which can be replaced with OSB or another plate you have available.
