Some epoxy tables are cool. Others stop you mid-scroll. This blog is about the second kind.
I’ve been building custom epoxy furniture for a while now, and I’ve seen what really gets people talking—both in real life and on Pinterest. Below are ten designs that don’t just look good, they feel like something. Whether you’re into coastal calm, moody interiors, or showpieces that spark conversations, I’ve either built it, tested it, or been inspired by it.
These aren’t just ideas—they’re design directions I’ve actually seen resonate with buyers, designers, and collectors.
1. Ocean Resin Tables That Feel Like a Real Wave
I’ve built a few ocean-inspired tables, but my turquoise wave table still stands out. What makes it work is layering: different blues, foamy accents, and textured ripples under a glossy finish. Match this with a live edge slab, and you’ve got a shoreline right in your living room.

2. Geode Epoxy Tables That Add Instant Drama
If you want your coffee table to double as a statement piece, geode epoxy is the way to go. Think deep purples, metallic veins, and quartz-like textures. I haven’t released a full geode collection yet, but the concept keeps showing up in my sketchbook. You can pair this with matte black legs or even brass for a luxe finish.
3. Resin Tables That Glow (Literally)
My LED-lit epoxy table build got more attention than anything else I’ve posted. People love a surprise. Try using glow-in-the-dark pigments or an under-table lighting channel that makes the resin pop in low light. It’s part art, part ambient mood-setter.
4. Industrial-Inspired Resin & Metal Tables
One of my favorite commissions paired a charcoal epoxy pour with raw steel legs. It felt like it belonged in a downtown loft. If you’re leaning into steampunk or minimal industrial aesthetics, this is where wood, resin, and steel meet in the best way.

5. Pink Epoxy Tables That Don’t Look Out Of Place
This was a risk. Pink resin can go cheesy fast—but this table turned out better than expected. The trick? Dusty pinks, subtle transparency, and grounding it with rich walnut. It’s unexpected, but it works—especially in modern, neutral interiors.
6. Nature-Inspired Tables With Real Botanicals
I’ve used dried flowers, pinecones, and even succulents in resin pours. One of my most asked-about pieces is a sunflower epoxy table, and yes, I used faux blooms to avoid rot. These builds add softness and storytelling in a way few materials can.
7. Steampunk & Sci-Fi Resin Tables
Gears, copper, embedded LED wires. If you want something that feels pulled from a retro-futuristic world, a steampunk-style resin build might be your next obsession. This one’s still on my to-do list, but it’s something I think about every time I see exposed filament bulbs and leather sofas.
8. Walnut and Red Resin: A Cardinal-Inspired Classic
One of our signature looks is this deep red resin against dark walnut. It started as a tribute to the symbolism of cardinals, but it’s become a favorite for people who want warmth and story in one piece.

9. Penny Resin Tables That Spark Nostalgia
I once embedded hundreds of real coins into resin—and yeah, it took forever. But it turned out to be one of the most interactive tables I’ve built. People can’t stop looking for their birth year or that rare wheat penny.
Here’s the full build breakdown.
10. Minimalist Resin Inlay Tables
Sometimes, less is more. A clear resin inlay between two perfect pieces of walnut is timeless. Add soft round edges or go bold with a sharp, rectangular cut. Either way, it lets the materials speak without shouting.
This idea works great with pieces from our ready to ship collection too—especially when you need something fast, custom-feeling, and minimal.
Final Thoughts: Don’t Just Copy, Remix
You don’t have to recreate any of these builds exactly. The beauty of resin is that it bends to your style. Mix colors. Add found objects. Play with negative space. These tables are more than furniture—they’re stories sealed in time.
And if you ever want help designing something truly one-of-a-kind, I’ve got a whole Custom Project Page for that.
See something you loved? Let me know. I’m always down to collaborate on the next weird, beautiful, resin-filled idea.
