What Can You Make Out Of An Old Coffee Table?
When you’re looking to repurpose an old coffee table, the sky is the limit! With some creativity, you can turn an outdated piece into something you’ll love. Here are just a few ideas for how to repurpose your coffee table:
Ottoman
A coffee table with a flat surface is easy to upcycle into an ottoman. You can cover the table with batting and fabric for a plush place to rest your feet. With some square foam cushions, you can turn the table into a beautiful upholstered storage ottoman.
Bench
For a quick and easy transformation, transform your original coffee table into a bench. Start by flipping the table over and secure it with screws. After that, you can add leg rest supports and secure them into the corners of the table. Now add some padding and upholstery. Get creative with fabric and add some extra design accents with stitching and buttons.
Desk
A coffee table that has drawers underneath can be easily converted into a contemporary desk. All you need is some wood, a drill and screws. You could even customize by adding extra drawers and shelves. Once you’re done with the construction, you can paint and add the finishing touches.
Bar Cart
Add some style to your home by converting a coffee table into a bar cart. Start by repainting your table with a fresh coat of paint. Then add wheels and turn the top into a glass tray. To finish, add wine glass and bottle holders with hooks, baskets and bottles.
Outdoor Table
If you have an outdoor area that’s lacking in furniture, your coffee table can give it a much-needed upgrade. All you have to do is sand the table and coat it with a weather-resistant sealer. Then you can add some color with paint or stain and enjoy your table in the sun!
Storage Cubes
Turn your old coffee table into storage cubes that will house blankets, books, and décor. You’ll need to build some wooden box frames. Then attach the frames to your table using screws or nails. Finally, add some fabric or faux leather to the boxes and display your new storage cubes.
Revamping that tired old coffee table can be a fun and rewarding project. So get creative and transform your coffee table into something new and stylish.
