Coffee Table: Glossy Red Cedar Slab with Natural Knots

Caroline Patterson | Interior Design Expert

This red cedar coffee table is a quintessential piece for a mountain lodge bedroom or a rustic lakeside cabin. To ground its high-gloss finish and vibrant wood grain, pair the table with neutral linen upholstery or a plush wool rug in charcoal gray. Balancing the heavy log construction requires incorporating lighter elements like glass vases or soft, woven textures to prevent the room from feeling overly weighted. Its natural knots provide a focal point that demands minimal accessorizing beyond a simple metal accent. For long-term care, occasionally wipe with a soft cloth to maintain the lustrous surface.
