Updating a Brass and Glass Coffee Table
Updating an old brass and glass coffee table can be an inexpensive way to give your living space a modern, polished appearance. Plus, it’s easier than you think! Here are some simple steps to help you spruce up your coffee table:
1. Clean it
Use a soft cloth to clean the brass and glass surfaces before doing any further work. Removing dust and dirt will give you the perfect foundation for an update.
2. Polish the Brass
Purchase brass polish to make the brass look like new. Follow the instructions on the polish and apply it to the entire piece. If the brass base of your coffee table appears to have lost its original shine, you can use metal polish to make it look like new again.
3. Paint the Frame
If you’d like to add a new look to your coffee table, consider painting the frame. This can be done with a brush or spray paint. If you don’t want to paint the entire frame, consider adding a few accents with the spray paint.
4. Add Accessories
Finally, add some accessories to make your coffee table stand out. Consider some new magazines or books that can be used as a display piece atop the table. Or, add a few plants or trays to store items underneath the surface.
