Black color is suitable for different styles of furniture. We really like this black painted cane coffee table. Due to the water-damaged veneer and an MDF top, Amanda had no choice but to paint it. And black is the perfect color to give this piece a modern twist.

2. Blue Painted Coffee Table with Metallic Top
Blue is not limited to beach houses. Actually, it’s the perfect color to freshen up your living room.
We really loved Charlotte’s makeover. The combination of the deep blue and the metal top is JUST perfect! Charlotte explained she likes combining textures and thought a metallic topper of some sort might make the table seem a little less massive. The sheet metal topper was custom-made at a local sheet metal joint within a few minutes. Later, Charlotte painted the table legs with a shiny navy blue.

2. Two Tone Coffee Table (color and raw wood)
We adore painted furniture, but we also appreciate the natural beauty of wood. Sometimes, though, the wood finish has seen better days or the piece appears too plain. That’s when paint comes to the rescue! Two-tone is an ideal solution for reviving a dated or damaged table without hiding its stunning wooden features. It’s a magical blend of vibrant paint and raw wood that brings new life to old pieces. Take this coffee table as an example: its dark painted legs flawlessly accentuate the refinished round top, creating a captivating contrast. Check out our step by step tutorial HERE.
