And the sad fact is, even in expensive shops it can be hard to find anything with any measure of personality at all, let alone a table that will fit in a small space. Creating your own furniture just requires a DIY spirit and a little bit of hard work. And if you are looking to buy a small kitchen or dining table, we’ve included a few for you to check out at the end of the post. We know that huge farmhouse tables are all over Pinterest right now, but when you have a small home, that just doesn’t cut it.
No problem, because we found some perfectly pretty DIY dining tables that are smaller in size and still easy to make. Some are just more diminutive in size, some are clever foldable dining tables, and a few are made for even those tiny little eating nooks with double duty furniture!
Check out these tutorials on how to build a dining table that works for your small space! Admittedly, this concrete and wood dining table looks like it would be best made by someone with a little DIY experience. This gorgeous live edge dining table video tutorial is from ‘Dwell‘, made by ‘Homemade Modern’.
Hairpin legs, a live edge walnut slab, poly and resin is all it takes to make this kitchen table.
From ‘Jen Woodhouse‘, this DIY kitchen table was made using repurposed wood beams, and it’s stunning! Jenny at ‘Sweet Teal‘ shows us how she (ahem, I mean her boyfriend) made this easy DIY dining table from simple lumber.
This round drop leaf table from ‘Ana White‘ has the best of all worlds when it comes to small spaces…seating, eating space and storage! We picked out a couple of really good values for you to check out while you are looking for small dining tables.
The “Jules Drop Leaf Table” from ‘West Elm’ has sides that fold down when not needed and has great reviews.
It’s made of solid Mango wood in a walnut finish with a metal base.
The “Kling” dining table from ‘Wayfair’ has a white lacquered top over wood, and free shipping. You will also love our posts on DIY Dining Nooks & Banquettes and DIY Kitchen Island Ideas & Projects!And of you need to redo an existing set, check out our post on Dining Table Makeovers at TBD…
