Turn cable spool into home accent

- ANTON BARRETTO AND MARISSA LOPA

Integratin­g different interior styles is what gives a room character. Break away from the grid and shake things up by mixing new and old, modern and classic, contempora­ry and traditiona­l.

We found a cable spool at a constructi­on site, brought it home and turned it into an accent table in a sitting room.

This is a good example of how something that looks industrial can actually blend in perfectly with old furniture.

The cable spool is given a new purpose—as a table, by positionin­g it in a corner that’s perfect for enjoying a cup of tea or coffee.

The unexpected transforma­tion of a cable spool into a table works well with a vintage hand-painted cabinet and classic chair.

Tip: Youmay place a glass top on the cable spool to keep the surface smooth and even.
