Protecting Your Coffee Table
Whether you have a beautiful, antique wooden coffee table or a more modern and contemporary one, you want to make sure that your coffee table stays in its best condition. Here are a few things that you can put on your coffee table to help protect it.
Coasters
Having a set of coasters on your table will help protect it from water rings and hot beverages. You can find a variety of different shape and sizes of coasters, such as round, square, or hexagonal. Choose some that will match the style of your coffee table and its décor.
Tablecloths or Place Mats
Tablecloths or placemats are a great way to protect your coffee table from scrapes, spills and heat. You can get tablecloths in a variety of colors and patterns to match your coffee table and its décor. Place mats have the advantage of being able to be removed and washed, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning a big tablecloth.
Bumpers and Corner Guards
Bumpers and corner guards are great for protecting your coffee table from getting scratched and dented. Bumpers are adhesive pads that you can place on corners and edges of your coffee table, while corner guards are specially designed pieces of plastic or metal that can be installed on the edges of your table. Both of these options will help to protect your coffee table against any accidental damage.
Cleaning and Polishing Products
Regular cleaning and polishing of your coffee table can help to protect it from damage. You may want to keep some cleaning and polishing products on hand, such as:
- Lemon oil – to help keep the wood in your table looking beautiful
- Glass and window cleaners – for tables with glass surfaces
- Furniture wax – to protect the finish of your wooden table
By following these tips, you can help to keep your coffee table looking its best for years to come.
