For that extra punch of ambiance in your living room, consider getting an [LED coffee table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-collection-1). The creation from the Evil Mad Scientist Lab consists of a [glass-top table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/look-mum-no-uv) embedded with LEDs that are motion-activated. When an object passes over the top, the lights directly beneath it go off. This could take wiping the table to a whole new level of fun!

If you're the do-it-yourself type of person, the Lab offers a kit to create your own. If you're just not that handy or don't mind shelling out the bucks, you can grab the original table at [Because We Can](http://www.becausewecan.org).

In the mean time, check out the video to see the [interactive tabletop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap-tap-table-lamp) in action!
