How to Refurbish A Glass Coffee Table
Glass coffee tables add a modern and sophisticated look to any living room. They’re a timeless decor piece that you can easily update with a few easy steps to give your table a fresh, new look. Here’s how to refurbish a glass coffee table in five steps!
1.Clean the Table
Start by cleaning the table with a cleaning spray and a soft cloth. Make sure to remove any dirt, dust, or grime that may have built up since the last time you cleaned it.
2. Strip the Table
Strip away the wax, polish, or paint that was previously used, either with a chemical stripper or with a 20 grit sandpaper. Make sure to discard any old wax by wiping the table with a damp cloth, and then dry it with a soft cloth. Be careful not to scratch the table while you’re doing this step.
3. Plan Your Design
Now it’s time to plan how you want to redesign your table. It’s helpful to create a design plan before starting. You can create a plan for the color scheme, the patterns, and any adornments you’d like to add to the table.
4. Paint the Table
Once you’re happy with your design plan, it’s time to begin painting. For glass coffee tables, use a spray paint in a color of your choice. If you’d like to add any patterns, use a stencil and paint brush for more detailed patterns.
5. Protect the Paint
After you’ve painted your table how you’d like it to look, you’ll want to protect the paint. Use a wax or sealant to protect the paint from any wear and tear. This will also make it easier to clean the table in the future.
