Completely furnishing your home can take years. This is because furniture is not cheap. Furthermore, you need to have a very well-defined decorating style to think about combining all the elements to furnish the house at once. However, an item that is essential in decoration but that is almost never a priority is the coffee table.
Everyone likes to watch television while eating popcorn and drinking soda, right? But having to get up all the time to put the glass on the rack is not fun. Therefore, the coffee table is a great solution for supporting things, whether food or even books.
On the other hand, as it is not an essential item in the living room, many people postpone the purchase of this piece of furniture, giving priority to others. Furthermore, the price also counts a lot.
However, nowadays it is possible to reuse materials that are no longer used to make a coffee table. As a result, you won’t need to spend a fortune on this piece of furniture, just a dose of creativity. In this way, we have separated some coffee table models for you to make yourself, in a simple and practical way.
Finally, check out inspiring photos and videos!

When we talk about furniture that reuses a material, the first thing that comes to mind are pallets, right? This is because the material is versatile and can be used to make several other things such as a bed, sofa and even serve as a base for a vertical garden.
However, although these examples above require some skill with various tools, making a pallet coffee table is very simple.
In this case, for a rustic effect, only treated material was used. Furthermore, to make it easier to transport and clean the room, it is important that the furniture has wheels. To do this, simply look for a utility and/or tool store and buy the wheels with the necessary screws.
On the other hand, if you want an option that is easier to clean and increases the durability of the wood, it is recommended to place a fixed glass on top. This way, you won’t lose the beauty of the furniture.
Furthermore, if you want a taller piece of furniture, just make a pile of pallets and screw them together. In this video, you will see the step by step of this production.
Coil
Secondly, we proposed a coffee table made with a coil. Basically this material is made to wind wires. However, as it is made of resistant wood, it is possible to reuse the coil after unloading the wires.
To do this, you will need to treat the wood with sandpaper and a waterproofing agent. Then, just paint it the color you want or even leave it in the original color, like the pallet. Furthermore, in this case, it is also possible to add wheels and glass on top.
The advantage of having a coil coffee table is that the “feet” can also store some decorative items such as plants or books.
Crate coffee table
If you’re thinking that these crates are the same ones used at fairs, you’re right! So, how about turning them into a beautiful coffee table? To do this you will need screws, a screwdriver, four crates, a square piece of board and some pebbles or decorative stones.
Then, simply position the crates with the open parts facing the outside and screw them together. The square piece of board must be positioned in the gap between the crates. Finally, this covered hole must be filled with stones and a potted plant to add a natural touch to the decoration.
If you want to add a glass lid to your coffee table, you will need to take some care. For example, if there are children in the house, the ideal is to cut the glass to the exact size of the table. Otherwise, the tips could become dangerous.
Tire
Having a tire in your backyard can be very dangerous. After all, an object can become the perfect home for a dengue mosquito. However, if you don’t know what to do with it, the photo above can serve as inspiration!
It seems hard to believe but the photo is of a coffee table made from a tire! There are several ways to “cover” the material, such as wrapping it with thick sisal or some crochet work. In other words, what counts is creativity. To give it a more furniture-like touch, the residents attached a wooden top.
Also, we can’t forget to mention the coffee table legs. As a result, the living room will have a Japanese-style decor.
Mirrored coffee table
The use of mirrors in decoration has always been associated with luxury. However, what few people know is that you can do wonders using this material without spending a lot. Want an example? Just choose one of the decorating ideas above and finish it off using mirrors.
For example, take a pallet, treat the wood and glue mirrors around it. Of course, no one will know what’s inside and they’ll think you paid a fortune for the mirrored furniture.
The challenge, however, is taking the correct measurements of the furniture and asking an expert to cut the mirrors to the desired size.
Madeira
Finally, we came up with a very sophisticated suggestion. After all, it’s very rare to find a coffee table made from the base of a tree trunk.
However, be careful, deforestation is a crime! Therefore, look for specialized companies that are authorized to sell this type of material.
Furthermore, companies that sell wood for furniture already treat the material. This way, you won’t have to worry about possible termites.
As a result, just add a glass on top to serve as support.
