How to create the endless table design from home

To pull it off, Instagram user @lindo_dubs advises starting with a cube-shaped wooden box and placing a mirror at the very bottom. The inside walls are then covered with decorative wallpaper. For the "endless" effect, a small ladder or staircase-shaped prop is placed inside, and LED strip lights are installed around the inner edges. The real magic happens when a two-way semi-transparent mirror is added on top. Once the lights go on, the inside reflection creates an illusion of a bottomless hole that looks like it drops forever.

Others who loved it but weren't DIY experts commented that they’d rather just buy a ready-made version than try to figure out the mirror magic themselves.
