Smudges Aside, a Glass Coffee Table is a Treasure

A glass coffee table is a very useful piece of modern furniture. A Noguchi table is a place to throw remotes or magazines, but why think so small? It can be used as a centerpiece to the living room, a study or homework center, or even as an intimate dining table.   Think of the vast variety of thing that you can achieve with this piece of modern furniture.

As a center piece to your living room you have limitless options.   Consider putting a gorgeous flower arrangement atop the table.  By taking a second layer of glass and placing a photo between the layers, you create a lovely conversation piece that is highly personalized. An easy option would be to place a small mirror on top with a candle. Place a candle with some carefully selected silk flower petals to bring gorgeous elegance to your room.  Just use your imagination in creating the centerpiece to your living room with a glass coffee table.

A homework center is another option for a noguchi table especially if you are an art major.   Maybe you are working on an art project for your class and it requires you to do some tracing. Placing a lamp beneath the table to shine upward can help with this project.  This is a quick and easy solution that could have cost you a lot of money buying the fancy art supplies for doing the same thing. The smooth surface of the glass coffee table provides an excellent place to work on any project whether homework for the art major or the four-year artist.

Ever found that the dining room table was too large for an intimate dinner for two? Witness this simple solution. Use your glass coffee table as a sophisticated table for two.  Take the kids to your mother’s, place some beautiful flowers in the center of the table, and place comfy pillows around the table; voila, a romantic dinner!  This should be an easy time of getting to know each other again.

Don’t just keep putting magazines and remotes on top of the glass coffee table. Try suggesting one of these ideas to a friend with a glass coffee table, or try one for yourself. Perhaps you’ll really enjoy this new use for your glass coffee table, and maybe you’ll think up a few of your own!  Whatever you do, you will enjoy the many options available to those who own glass coffee tables.
