Can you believe that this table is made of leftover wood pieces from staircases? If you are a bit experienced with DIY projects, this could be your next challenge. This exquisite model in chocolate brown can be what your family needs!
4. The Outdoor Style
If you love the outdoors and the weather permits, this DIY idea can be the winner. You might love the twist on the traditional farmhouse table, and it can be spacious enough for a large family. The surface does not need to be polished to perfection; in fact, the rougher it is, the more realistic it looks!

9. Be Unique!
If you prefer to stand out from the crowd and you are unsure of your carpentry level, you can simply customize your dining table. There are no rules when it comes to beauty! The table above combines different elements, but the result is nothing less than spectacular!
10. The Larger Table
If you have a large dining area, you could consider this model instead. The stable, bulky white legs and the solid wooden top ensure its durability, while the beautiful white paint gives it an antique vibe. If you love antique furniture, this model could be just what you need.
11. Picnic Design
This table resembles the design of a picnic table without the less comfortable benches. One of the best aspects of this design is choosing more modern chairs and elevating the whole traditional style to a new level.
12. Using Leftovers
If you have any leftover wood from previous projects, such as building a fence, a barn, or even a deck, you can mix and match the pieces to create a unique dining table. This will not only save you money but is also environmentally-friendly. If the wood is already painted, that’s even better because you will have some unique colorful accents.
13. The 6-Seater Table
If you want a more straightforward DIY dining table idea, this 6-seater table can be an excellent start. You can create two benches or simply go for matching chairs for your entire family. If your dining area is spacious enough, this simple but beautiful design could be the missing centerpiece.
14. Hairpin Legs
The hairpin legs design elevates an otherwise basic table, and it is also simple to do if you already have all materials on hand. The main bonus is the fact that the hairpin legs offer a more modern vibe to your space.
15. DIY Table For Larger Families
If you have a large family, an extended table can offer all the comfort you crave. The table above has removable extensions, so you can still shrink it in size when you don’t have extra guests for dinner.
16. Simple Beauty
The shiny, polished, and thick wooden top of this table is nothing short of impressive. The structure is also sturdy enough to make this table last for a lifetime. If you have a large family, the massive Cypriot pine wood pieces can bring much-needed support.
17. A Retrofitted DIY Tabletop
If you have access to old tables with such beautifully crafted accents, you can combine them and create your own DIY vintage beauty. This table has a brand-new top that you can paint or finish according to your liking.
18. Puzzle Table
If you have any leftover wood boards, this is an excellent idea! The different colors make it look like an interesting puzzle, it will be light on your budget, and you can save the wood, too.
19. Large and Simple
There is always an exquisite feeling about simplicity. This design is straightforward, so you do not need advanced carpentry skills, but it adds just the missing touch to a lovely dining room. You can choose chairs with a more sophisticated design to match the simplicity of the table.
20. DIY Octagon Dining Room Table
For more sophistication and a less conventional design, you can go for any other geometrical shape. This octagon is not only impressive and modern, but you can also fit more people at the table in a smaller room. You should also add a pedestal instead of classic legs for more stability and legroom for everyone.
