The DIY Marble Coffee Table That Looks So Chic And Is Easy To Put Together

A coffee table is a valuable part of any living space, which is why it's important to pick the perfect coffee table for your home. Not only does it provide a necessary place to put books, snacks, or some morning coffee, but it also adds to the room's overall decor style. This DIY marble coffee table is both easy to make and looks gorgeous. A quick trip to the hardware store is all you need to get started!

This marble coffee table uses four marble tiles. These Daltile Marble Attache Golden Reviere 12 inch x 24 inch Color Body Porecelain Floor and Wall Tiles from Home Depot would work well. While you are there make sure to also pick up a piece of matching pencil molding and some installation glue. Make sure that the glue you choose will work on both wood and tile, like this Gorilla Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive.

Once you have your tiles, begin by gluing two of them together to create a 90 degree corner. Then, glue a piece of pencil molding that is about a quarter of the length of your tile to the inside corner at the bottom. This will help stabilize the table. Repeat this process with the other two tiles. Also, make sure to take safety precautions if you need to cut the pencil tile on your own.

For the top of the coffee table, you will want to purchase a large piece of wood. You can get something on the cheaper side from the hardware store that you can then stain and seal yourself. Or, if you are willing to splurge, you could look for a more rustic or reclaimed look, perhaps with a live edge. Once you have the wood slab, glue it to the top of the assembled tiles. Allow the glue to dry completely before using your new table. And, if you are worried about having a wood table top because of the potential for scratching, check out this easy glue hack that will stop you from dealing with annoying coffee table scratches.

Not only is this table beautiful, but it is also easy to customize. While most coffee tables are between 30 inches and 50 inches long and 14 inches to 22 inches tall, you want to make sure that your coffee table can serve your needs. If you need something larger or smaller for your space, you could easily purchase a different tile size or table top to fit your design requirements. After you've created this chic design, you will want to keep your table looking as good as new. Consider making DIY coasters to protect your wood furniture to prevent staining from glasses and dishes.
