Covering your Glass Coffee Table
Glass coffee tables can be beautiful and elegant focal points in any living room. However, if you have an active household, pets, or young children, a glass coffee table can look worse for wear in no time. Covering the table can help to preserve its pristine look, while still allowing you to enjoy its beauty.
Things You’ll Need:
- Measuring tape
- Fabric (if desired)
- Tablecloth
- Iron
Step 1: Decide On A Cover
First, decide what kind of cover you want for your coffee table. You can use a tablecloth, a cloth drop cloth, or a sheet of fabric. A tablecloth is the easiest to use, while a sheet of fabric will look the nicest.
Step 2: Measure the Table
Next, use a measuring tape to measure the length, width, and height of the table. Record these measurements, as you’ll need them when shopping for a tablecloth or fabric.
Step 3: Buy a Tablecloth/Fabric
Visit a local store or shop online for a tablecloth or fabric that will fit your table. Make sure to measure the cloth before purchasing, to ensure that it is the correct size.
Step 4: Apply the Cover
If you’ve chosen a tablecloth, simply drape it over the table. If you’ve chosen fabric, then you’ll need to iron it to get out any wrinkles and to make sure it fits properly. Then, place the fabric on the table. Secure the fabric with pins, if necessary.
Step 5: Maintain the Cover
Finally, be sure to wash the cover periodically to help keep it looking nice. It is also a good idea to remove the cover before use, to make sure that the glass table is not scratched or damaged.
Following these steps will help you to enjoy your glass coffee table while keeping it looking good.
