With little effort, DIY glass table decor is an easy way to freshen up your room and build character through your home. Whether you create personalized mason jar accents or highlight a series of vintage end tables, glass is a means to flow accent colors and light from room to room. You can decorate curvy glass lamps and goblets, in addition to bring in specific shapes and styles of tables to round out a specific theme or decor scheme.
Glass-Topped End Tables for DIY Style
Gather several small antique or antique glass-topped end tables or plant stands to utilize as ornamental pieces around your home. You may clean up the alloy on the tables, paint them or abandon them desperate to get a shabby chic-style appearance. Another choice is to bring in a variety of small metallic tables using clear or stained-glass tops as diverse room accents. Hang small stained-glass ornaments from the metal railings of the poles as additional DIY trimmings. Line the tables beneath a window in a living room or together a patio area in order that the glass reveals the natural light. Go with tables which are different heights to create a more eye-catching screen.
Decorative Jars, Containers and Bottles
Fill mason jars using unusual objects for effortless DIY glass table arrangements. Use colored mason jars or even old sugar containers as ornamental glass foundations. They can also be used to stow craft equipment like ribbons, strings and buttons and work as colorful displays if you line them together a long table facing a window. For a more aesthetic appearance utilize old bottles which you can embellish with ornamental bits of fabric or costume jewelry. Glue a brooch to the front of the jar using glass adhesive and dress a different bottle using beaded bracelets, chainlink or pearl necklaces. You might also simply hang the jewelry from the mouth of the bottle or attach it using glue to the back of the bottle.
Tables for DIY Styling
Take a DIY approach with your styling. The shape of a glass table and the way you arrange it might help enhance a specific decor scheme or add a decorative touch to a drab space. Square and rectangle glass tables are flexible accent pieces. Put a low rotating glass table in front of a sofa to strengthen clean, straight lines, or utilize a console table to either hide or dress up the back of a sofa. A Mid-Century Modern glass-topped table adds a touch of yesteryear to an eclectic room, and a traditional entryway or hall sparkles with a slim glass table. For a large dining room or outdoor area, bring in a significant oval-shaped table.
Unique Colored Accents and Lamps
Pair a crystal clear glass table with an arrangement of ornamental colored glass bottles like Depression Glass items. Or color-block your glass accents for impact: Decorate a white room with two or three red glass accents and matching bold-red window treatments. Illuminate your room with glass lamps and serve two functions: beautiful lighting and extra texture for glass tables. Lamps function as decor when you choose them in refined configurations and colors, like gourd-shaped bases in vivid cobalt blue. Glass lamps offer a modern touch when their lighting mechanisms are visible through the glass.
