Acrylic Cocktail Tables Anyone?
We love the cool vibe that Lucite coffee tables lend to a modern décor because they are so unexpected. Just as intriguing, transparent acrylic coffee tables can update rooms that are transitional and traditional in design.
Lucite coffee tables can be clean lined and linear or incredibly curved and rounded. Because they are transparent, these chic coffee tables seem to add style to a room without detracting from the other furniture in the room. Lucite designed tables also seem to add more space to a room because they don't compete with other furnishings. When it comes to small space decorating, Lucite tables can make a room appear larger since they take up less visual floor space and highlight the other items that surround them.
A popular trend in Lucite cocktail tables is clear acrylic accented with metal, resulting in a modern mix of transparency and metallic shine. Whether you choose a brassy gold or a cool stainless steel, the mix of hard metal and sheer acrylic is nothing short of breathtaking. One hot trend in Lucite and metal coffee tables is the "Campaign" style tables that feature corner brackets and leg detail in L shaped metal. This campaign style refers to the early British Colonists who designed wood furniture with metal detailing, meant to add style to ordinary wood tables or chests. Spring forward to now and innovative furniture designers have carried that same metal detail to the corners of clear Lucite cocktail tables, adding just a bit of sparkle to crystal clear acrylic. Whether it is in polished chrome or brassy gold, this metal corner detail is eye catching and chic.
For the Lucite purists, the classic "waterfall" silhouette features one continuous sheet of acrylic, heated and bent to a rounded waterfall shape. Originally designed in the 1970s, this curved style clear cocktail table offers no sharp corners or edges, making it the perfect choice for child friendly yet glamorous interiors. Beyond its soft edges, the waterfall style coffee tables are constructed in thick, sturdy, clear Lucite which makes them incredibly strong and durable. Unlike clear glass, these strong acrylic tables are shatterproof making them a safe choice for any living room.
