#1. Upcycle an old table
Small and stylish: this beautiful table is straightforward to make yourself and complements any interior decor. How do you do it? Use the frame from an old table. Spray or paint it in a colour of your choice and attach a beautiful PERSPEX® tabletop. Transparent, tinted, opal white, black, there’s a wide range of colours to choose from. View the step-by-step explanation for making this table yourself in our blog: DIY: side table made of acrylic sheet.
#2. Let it shine: make a DIY table from mirror acrylic
If you love a high-glam look, you’re sure to be delighted with this glitzy table. With the help of an IKEA LACK table, you can make a real design statement in your living room or bedroom. The only thing you have to do is cover the table with mirror acrylic sheets custom-cut to size. And if your taste is for something simpler? Of course, you can substitute the mirror acrylic with matte black or any other colour that matches your decor.
#3. More robust than glass: make a DIY outdoor table
Acrylic sheet is also a fabulous material for upgrading your garden table. For example, you can transform your existing garden table by adding a transparent acrylic sheet: easy to keep clean and a lot cheaper than buying a new garden table. You could also choose to replace the complete tabletop. In this case, opt for an acrylic sheet with a minimum thickness of 8 mm.
