Admired recently: makeshift coffee tables. Here are nine unconventional coffee tables that remind us: All you really need are some bricks, blocks, slats, and books, and voilà.
A coffee table is a low table typically placed in front of a sofa or seating area used for serving beverages, holding reading materials, and other decorative items.
Unconventional coffee tables are tables that deviate from traditional or standard designs and materials often used for coffee tables. They feature unique shapes, materials, and styles.
Some popular unconventional coffee table designs include ones made of natural materials like wood slices or tree stumps, ones with interesting shapes like round or oval, and ones that feature unexpected materials like brass, glass, or concrete.
Using an unconventional coffee table can add visual interest and personality to a space, act as a conversation starter, and serve a functional purpose while also making a decorative statement.
Yes, unconventional coffee tables can work in any style of home decor as long as they are chosen with consideration for the overall look and feel of the space. For example, a rustic wood slice table may work well in a cozy, cabin-inspired space while a minimalist glass table may work well in a modern, industrial space.
Unconventional coffee tables can range in price from budget-friendly to high-end, depending on the materials used, size, and design. In some cases, unconventional coffee tables may actually be less expensive than traditional ones, especially if they are handmade or crafted from repurposed materials.
