USE MODERN MATERIALS TO BUILD A SIDE TABLE WITH A TIMELESS FEEL
ADAM DOVILE
1 TABLE 3 WAYS

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.
