Build a Scandi-style coffee table with tapered splayed legs using materials you can buy off-the-shelf at the hardware store. Glue and screw it together, then choose a finish that suits your interiors. It's so easy you'll want to make lots!
1 MAKE IT DARK AND GLAM
If a dark stain or varnish makes you think of bulky, old-fashioned furniture, this will change your mind. Going brown-black lends modern pieces sophistication still highlights the wood grain and offers a stunning contrast to light walls and floors. The look works for many spaces, from minimalist to art deco.
2 GO LIGHT AND WHITE
A limed finish is a classic that works in plenty of schemes but is most often seen in cottage and Scandi decors. It gives the timber a subtle whitewash while showing off the grain.
3 KEEP IT CLEAR
When you want to enhance yet protect timber, a clear finish is the way to go and is very versatile, design-wise. Water-based polyurethane is easy to apply, durable and non-yellowing.
