Looking for an easy way to update a room? Grab a can of paint and give your table a makeover! We love the unexpected use of bright color seen on tables lately. This trend is a simple (not to mention affordable) option if you’re looking to spruce up your space. We recommend transforming a table that’s already the focal point of a room (think: kitchen tables, coffee tables, or even desks). Select a vibrant color to compliment a neutral environment, but be careful about adding color elsewhere in the room. Small accessories in similar tones, such as accent pillows or vases, will tie the look together in no time!

    I love that pink desk in the first picture. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to paint Ikea furniture because I actually want a pink desk.
