Build a table yourself – fresh ideas for the living room

If you want to build a table yourself, you do not have to start from scratch. Use parts of old furniture and combine them with new elements. Our favorite piece is definitely the saw-table design, whose rustic character immediately inspired us. The design itself can be imitated quickly and easily. If you are a fan of industrial chic, you will like the next idea. Use media wall units and integrate them into a cube-shaped form. A wooden panel can serve as the tabletop. You can also build a table from wooden pallets, whose shape simplifies the process. If you have an old trunk, use it as a table: simply attach legs to the case, and you are done.
Build a table yourself – refresh old furniture

You do not need to build a new table yourself, if you already have one. Freshen up the design instead. A white tabletop can be decorated with adhesive film. A wooden stool can be covered and used as a coffee table in the living room. Part of an old bookcase can be transformed into a coffee table with storage space. If you want a rustic piece of furniture, simply sand the paint from your old table. Ready! For more inspiration, see the photo gallery below.
