The 10 Epoxy Tables Designs I've Fallen In Love With

I started out making small resin tables on my apartment floor with a cheap mold and a bag of faux moss. Now I’m obsessed. I've been building bigger pieces ever since and connecting with other artists who are just as deep into this stuff as I am. The plan? Build a global crew of resin makers. Offer custom work. Share ideas. Keep resin weird, beautiful, and alive.

This post isn’t a tutorial. It’s more like a mood board of table designs I’ve either tried, seen, or am dying to experiment with. Some are simple. Some are chaos. All of them are personal.

Let’s dive in:

1. Ocean Epoxy Table

I tried this one early on, and it felt like painting with water. Translucent blues, foamy white edges, and a wood slab that looked like the tide was eating it. If you love beach energy—even if you’re landlocked—this one hits.

DIY Level: Intermediate

2. Penny Epoxy Table

Nothing hits like that copper shimmer under clear resin. I laid them out heads and tails, no pattern, just vibes—and it came out looking like treasure sealed in glass. Super nostalgic. Weirdly elegant.

DIY Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Tip: Stack a few pennies to add depth—it works.

3. Burnt Wood Epoxy Table (aka Lichtenberg)

This one feels like you’re capturing lightning in a slab. You burn bolt patterns directly into the wood using high-voltage electricity (not for the faint of heart), then fill the cracks with resin. It’s raw, dark, dramatic.

DIY Level: Advanced
Warning: Do not mess with Lichtenberg without safety knowledge. For real.

4. Epoxy Colored Pencil Table

This one’s pure fun. I chopped up a pack of colored pencils, laid them out in clusters, and sealed it all up. Bright, playful, kind of hypnotic. It ended up in a kid’s room but honestly—I kind of wanted to keep it.

DIY Level: Beginner

5. Bottle Cap Epoxy Table

Great for bar areas or game rooms. I’ve seen these packed with rare craft beer caps, vintage soda tops, or even those old-school pull tabs. You can go super clean or make it chaotic. It just works.

DIY Level: Beginner
Pro move: Use a dark-tinted resin for extra contrast.

6. Resin Shuffleboard Table

Haven’t made this one yet—but it’s on the dream list. Requires dead-on leveling and a flawless topcoat, but the result is basically playable sculpture. Resin makes it sleek. Wood gives it soul.

DIY Level: Advanced
Inspo: Luxe lodge vibes.

7. Fishing Lure Epoxy Table

I saw someone do this with vintage lures and flies from their grandfather’s tackle box—and it hit hard. Sealed into a live edge slab with a dark pour, it felt like a river in a frame. Totally original. Super nostalgic.

DIY Level: Intermediate

8. Epoxy Hockey Table

Chopped-up sticks. Clean layout. Resin pour. I made one of these for a friend who grew up playing pond hockey and he straight-up cried when he saw it. That’s the magic of memory builds.

DIY Level: Intermediate

9. Epoxy Table Top With Flowers

This one surprised me. I didn’t think it would be my thing—but sealing dried flowers into clear resin gives it this soft, museum-glass kind of feel. Wildflowers work great. So do ferns and petals.

DIY Level: Beginner
Vibe: Organic, romantic

10. Epoxy Table Golf

Another memory build. Vintage balls and tees from someone’s collection, frozen in time under crystal-clear resin. I don’t even golf and I wanted to make one. It just looks sharp.

Save These. Build One. Or Just Get Inspired.

What I love most about resin is that nothing ever turns out the same way twice. You can follow the same steps, use the same materials—and still end up with something totally yours.

If you’re thinking about building one of these—or have an idea I should try—send it my way. If you’d rather commission a custom build, you can do that too. I’d love to bring your idea to life. [Request a custom table here.]

Thanks for reading. And if you’re building something cool?
