A glass coffee table is a piece of modern furniture that can serve many purposes. 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.   You could create a beautiful flower arrangement on top.   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. Silk flower petals around the candle create an elegant look to any room.   By using a little imagination, you can create a lovely centerpiece for your glass coffee table.

A homework center is another option for a noguchi table especially if you are an art major.   Perhaps you have an art project that necessitates tracing. Placing a lamp beneath the table to shine upward can help with this project.  This simple and easy solution can save you money by precluding the need to buy expensive art equipment and supplies. Both the art major and the four-year old artist will appreciate the smooth surface of the glass coffee table.

Does your dining room table make it hard to have an intimate dinner? Here’s an easy solution. Use your glass coffee table as a sophisticated table for two.  Send the kids to their grandparents, put roses in a small vase in the center of the table, use pillows as chairs and enjoy that intimate conversation by candle light as you two reconnect over a simple dinner alone.   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. Pick one of the suggested ideas and try it out for yourself and suggest it to a friend that owns a glass coffee table. 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.
