Building a table from scratch is actually not that difficult and the most difficult part is actually coming up with a design and making a plan. You can definitely find a bunch of tutorials online that can be of great help in that sense. We’ve recently looked at some and it was the farmhouse tables that stood out the most. We love the charming and inviting effect that they have on the space around them. With that in mind, it might be time for you to learn how to build a farmhouse table and luckily the projects featured below can help.

The secret to creating an authentic farmhouse-style table is giving it a sturdy and solid base. Something like this would definitely look nice. The design is a bit more complicated than that of a typical 4 legged table but at the same time it has more character. Giving the table this nice vintage-looking finish also has a big impact on the design as a whole.

Farmhouse tables are excellent for both indoor and outdoor spaces. This table actually looks right at home in the backyard and its sturdy and solid frame is well-suited for areas such as patios and open terraces. The dark-stained wood adds a really nice touch to the design, making the table seem imposing and elegant. For more details about this build you can check out shanty-2-chic.

The X-shaped pedestal base design is a defining feature for farmhouse tables in general as you can clearly see for yourself. This detail alone is enough to give the table lots of character and the charm it needs to stand out in the best possible way. If you like the style and the look you can implement the same design when building a matching bench for your table. Check out prettyhandygirl to find out how.

This farmhouse table also has an X-shaped base but not in the way you would expect it to.

Building this sort of farmhouse-style table is simple and making all the cuts and gathering all the supplies is the first step but also the most important one.

This wonderful project featured on addicted2diy shows you how to build a farmhouse dining table and a matching bench to go with it. The table has a simple and elegant design with a slender-looking base but most importantly with extension arms on either side. It’s a very practical addition which doesn’t really change the design that much. The matching bench is also a nice addition but you can of course choose to skip it if you prefer dining chairs instead.

In case you were wondering, round farmhouse tables do exist and they actually look really nice. This one right here has a pedestal base which gives it plenty of support and stability without looking too robust.

This table which is featured on instructables is not particularly big but can accommodate large groups thanks to its design.
