Ah, the living room!
Also referred to as the family room, the living room is seen as the center of action in many homes. This is the space that you play games in, watch TV in, and maybe you even eat and work here sometimes.
A beautiful and functional coffee table can make or break your living space. On it will sit books, homework, coffee cups, and wine glasses (hopefully not all at the same time but if so, we won’t judge!). In many ways, this piece of furniture IS your living room.
If you’re looking to build a great coffee table but your internet searches have come up short, don’t worry! You’ve come to the right place.
We’ve compiled a list, just for you, of the BEST DIY coffee tables out there.
Grab your drink of choice and let’s get to it!
