How to Spruce Up an Outdated Coffee Table
If your coffee table is looking a bit drab and outdated, here are some tips and tricks to give it a new look and spruce it up!
Repaint
One of the easiest ways to give your coffee table a new lease of life is to invest in some paint and a decent brush and repaint it. Choose a colour that will contrast with the rest of your room, such as a bright optic white or a pastel green or pink. You can also choose a paint scheme – using different colours to paint stripes or other patterns onto your coffee table.
Change the hardware
If you want to create a subtle update to your coffee table without doing any painting, you can change up the hardware. Swap out the handles for something more modern and stylish. Brushed metal handles can look great and can work with almost any style of table.
Add embellishments
Adding some embellishments such as decorative tassels, pressed flowers, or beading can easily transform the look of an outdated coffee table. It’s a great way to add a touch of character and personality to your coffee table.
Repurpose it
Another option is to repurpose your coffee table. You could turn it into a console table by adding a shelf underneath and create a place to store books, magazines and other items. Or you could use it as a bench, or upcycle it into a storage unit or even a planter.
Accessorize
If you don’t want to invest in a lot of effort in revamping your coffee table, you can simply accessorize it. Placing a few decorative items such as books, lamps, or vases will instantly make it look modern and stylish.
Add a table cloth
Adding a table cloth is a great way to update an outdated coffee table with minimal effort. Choose a fabric or pattern that works well with the rest of your room. You can easily tie up the tablecloth at the end or sides for a neat and clean look.
So there you have it – some great ways to spruce up an outdated coffee table. Pick the one that works best for you and get started!
