Can a Car Be a Coffee Table?
A car and a coffee table would seem to have little in common, but have you ever thought about using one as the other? It’s easy to reach for a catalogue or online shops to pick up a new furniture piece, but how about a car as a coffee table that speaks to your adventures and lifestyle?
Classic Cars as Coffee Tables
Classic cars are the perfect foundation for a coffee table. With a few modifications, this daring idea can be made into reality:
- Choose Your Car – Start by selecting the classic car that will be the base of your coffee table project. Preferably choose a model that has been out of production for three decades or more to increase its value.
- Modify the Car– Remove any parts from the car that you don’t need and prepare it for the transformation. A selection of tools such as a jigsaw, hammer, screwdriver, heavy duty saw, etc., are recommended for this task.
- Add Elements – To complete the look and bring the table up to a movable level of comfort, add some upholstery, wheels and a glass layer on top. If desired, you can also customize the glass layer with a logo or paint designs to make it even more personal.
Other Cars
Apart from classic cars, you can also use motorcycles, ATVs, camping trailers or wagons. All it takes is a bit of imagination, planning and some handy skills. With the help of a few tools and maybe some advice from a professional, your dream of having a car as a coffee table can be a reality.
No matter the model, a car as a coffee table is an incredibly unique and daring idea that can create a great conversation piece and spice up a living room. With a few basic tools and some patience, you can make something one-of-a-kind that can be enjoyed for years to come.
