Stylish Trunk Coffee Tables

If you desire a stylish alternative to the normal wooden four legged table

, you should consider the Trunk Coffee Table. In addition to being trendy, the trunk coffee table is great because it is trendy and adds storage to your room.

The trunk is so versatile that you can place it in virtually any room in the house, assuming there is sufficient room for it and walking around it. If the room is too small, then it can double as an end table. Also the trunk can help set the theme for an entire room based on what it is made of. A room with a classic decor will use a traditional trunk. A more modern room will use a new age trunk.

These trunks are versatile enough for use in almost any room of the house, if the room is large enough to fit the trunk and still leave enough room to walk around it. If the trunk is too large to fit in a room as a coffee table, it can serve as an end table just as well. A nice trunk can also be the centerpiece to a room, unifying its theme. One should clearly try to avoid choosing a trunk that clashes with the rest of the decor of a room.

On top of having all of the normal perks a tradition table would provide, a trunk also adds storage to the room. Since the point of a trunk is to hold many items, a trunk coffee table can do this as well. Extra storage is always useful in any room, in any house. A trunk, in addition to providing a style and a table top in a room, can add lots of storage to a room that may not have closets, shelves, or other storage devices. It is ideal for storing items in a room that is frequently used to entertain guests. In light of its large size, a trunk can hold much more than just items to entertain guests. It is well suited to store additional items such as blankets and pillows or CD's and DVD s. While storage is an very nice feature of a trunk, it also serves as a very effective table. Drinks, candles, books or magazines can all bet set right on top of the trunk.

Trunks are divided into two types based on shape, the hump back and the flat top. The obvious choice for a trunk that you wish to use as a coffee table would be the flap top. The free way to get a trunk is through inheriting one from a family member. In addition to being cheap, it will come with a great sense of family history and a conversation piece for guests.

If none of your family members are going to give you a trunk, purchasing is the other option. New trunks are up for sale at most if not all reputable furniture or home decor stores. If money is an object, you can generally acquire one at a second hand store, antique shop or local auction. Once you have acquired a trunk and placed it well, the room will have new zest and a new conversation piece.
