My sister-in-law is so clever. She paints small tables, wooden chairs, and cupboards (old furniture from thrift stores, junky antiques) in cool colors using marine (boat) paint. It is one of those things where you think - what? you are painting that cupboard dark blue? you are painting that table barn red? - but when you see it when it’s done, it looks great. She uses marine paint because it dries nicely and won’t be sticky. That’s especially important if there are cupboard doors or drawers involved.

Maybe you could paint the tables in a color that would match or complement something interesting in the room, like a favorite quilt.
