Creative Coffee Tables

Bench It

Are you on a tight decorating budget? Or do you simply desire a new look for your living room or den? Then an innovative coffee table could be the perfect solution.

Begin your design search by scouting secondhand shops and estate sales for items that can be transformed to meet your needs. Also, look around your home and explore different ways to use existing accessories. Add life to an old piece such as a battered wooden box by covering it with a tapestry panel or needlepoint rug. This quick fix gives character to the piece and brings a fresh look to the room.
