Unique Acrylic Table with LED Lighting and Scaffold Wood

Niek has crafted a unique acrylic table with LED lighting. The use of opal white acrylic and scaffold wood, paired with a robust brick wall and ambient lighting, creates an impressive effect. He transformed a simple wall with just five Ikea shelves into a stunning centrepiece in his home.
The Project
Niek had no prior woodworking experience, but that didn't stop him! He first created a digital sketch of his idea. While working on it, he frequently improved aspects he hadn't initially planned. The acrylic tabletop was carefully measured and secured into place. The result? A beautiful opal white tabletop with an integrated Hue LED strip that creates a warm ambience. Niek: “I previously had a wall with only 5 Ikea shelves, and I wanted to revamp it... I'm really pleased with the result, especially with the opal white tabletop with the Hue strip underneath!”
