Of course, you can keep it symmetrical and traditional or you could disregard convention and create something truly original. Why not combine several different bases?

If you opt for this approach, choose a glass tabletop to showcase the different angles, textures and colours of the trestles. If you opt for a more conventional wooden tabletop, combine tone-on-tone colours to highlight the robustness and beauty of the material. You could shake things up a little by introducing elements of metal or colour. But what we really love about a trestle table is that if you don't like it, you can change it! As your decor changes, your trestle creations can change with it.
