The kitchen is the heart of the home, but what can be the heart of the kitchen? A beautifully handcrafted dining table comes to mind, a timeless focal point that brings people together. More than just a place to sit and eat, life happens at the dining table. It can be used for quiet cups of coffee to sharing stories and celebrating milestones.
Our handcrafted dining tables at The Handmade Kitchen Company are rooted in traditional craftsmanship and designed for the way we live today, complementing our handmade kitchen while adding charm, warmth, and functionality to the space. This purposeful design elevates the demands of modern living just that little bit more.
Our Handcrafted Dining Tables at a Glance
Our dining tables are handcrafted to order by the same team that builds our kitchens, in responsibly sourced timber such as oak and walnut, using traditional joinery like mortice and tenon. Every table is fully bespoke in size, finish and leg style, whether tapered, turned or pedestal, and can seat anywhere from 4 to 12. They are designed to sit at the heart of an open-plan kitchen, in a dining alcove, as an extension of the island, or in a separate dining room.
Handmade Kitchen Company’s Legacy of Craftsmanship
Every table we create at The Handmade Kitchen Company reflects the same philosophy we bring to our bespoke kitchen designs: uncompromising craftsmanship, timeless designs, and a deep respect for materials. Our traditional dining tables are designed and built by the same expert team that makes our beautifully detailed kitchens. It’s a wonderful way to extend traditional, bespoke design outside of the kitchen and create memories elsewhere in the home.
Each table is made to order, where every detail is meticulously handcrafted, from the timber selection and leg profile to the finishes and dimensions that make it unique. No pieces are ever the same because they are truly bespoke, so it’s your choice if you have a simple, elegant centrepiece or a grand, statement table.
Our craftsmanship is more than just a skill; it’s a passion, shown through our hand-smoothed surfaces and every joint. It’s a great example of how we bring authenticity and artistry into the heart of your home with a lasting piece of furniture. We use responsibly sourced woods and traditional techniques such as mortice and tenon joinery. Our attention to heritage craftsmanship ensures that our dining tables are beautiful and prime examples of how traditional methods have been passed down through generations.
Circular Pedestal Integrated Booth Island Seating – Elstree Project
At the heart of the space and adjoined to the kitchen island is this elegant banquette seating table, crafted from a thick oak block and set on a turned, painted pedestal base. The gentle curves of both seating and the oval dining table invite both comfort and conversation, where everything from relaxed breakfasts to special celebrations can be held.
Our Handcrafted Dining Table Designed for Modern Life
Far from old-fashioned, our craftsmanship is steeped in tradition and used to provide dining tables, made for multifunctional spaces and a wide range of interior styles. We believe in bespoke furniture that seamlessly fits into your life and space, making our dining tables fully customisable.
Our handcrafted dining tables are made to measure, bringing your space a cosy nook for quiet mornings, a statement table to anchor the open-plan space, or a compact round table that completes the banquette. Our team works with you to create a table that feels right at home.
Any style from a minimalist silhouette with clean lines, or a rustic, farmhouse-inspired design, The Handmade Kitchen Company can tailor every detail to suit the room’s aesthetics. Our options allow you to choose from a variety of finishes, sizes, and leg styles so your table feels authentically you. Think tapered, turned or pedestal and seating for 12 or 4. Your vision is brought to life with our remarkable team, built to the same exacting standards as our kitchens.
Table placement ideas from The Handmade Kitchen Company:
At the Heart of the Open-Plan Kitchen
Place in the centre of the open-plan space, where it becomes the hub for meals, work and socialising.
Solid Oiled Oak Dining Table – Stebbing Project
This one-of-a-kind table is 2m in length and 900mm in width with a 38mm-thick full plank table top. The H-frame solid oak base completes the look of the table, while the chunkiness of it complements the exposed wooden beams found in this traditional property, the perfect emphasis for a social vibe in the heart of the home, with seating for 6.
In a Dining Alcove
Perfect for a corner space that faces the garden. This location creates a charming and intimate setting for casual dining and enjoying the views of the garden.
An Extension of the Island
If you are lucky with space and a kitchen island, you can integrate the table into your kitchen layout for a seamless and space-efficient design.
Circular Pedestal Integrated Booth Island Seating – Orsett Project
Integrated into the island is this bespoke banquette seating that wraps around a beautiful, circular handcrafted pedestal table. The table is made from solid wood and has a pedestal base that is hand-painted in Card Room Green by Farrow & Ball. This is what you call special seating at the heart.
Located in a Separate Dining Room
For the homeowners who have formal dining spaces, the table can become a statement, anchoring gatherings for memory-making.
Full Stave Black American Walnut Dining Table – Ingatestone Project
Celebrating our history and heritage is this full-stave black American walnut dining table with a 38mm top. Showing off its curated details, this grand-sized table is the perfect place for our clients to hold gatherings and special occasions in their open-plan space, which is separated from the other zones.
Handcrafted Dining Table FAQs
Are your dining tables handmade to order?
Yes. Every dining table is made to measure by the same expert team that builds our kitchens, so no two are the same. You choose the size, finish, timber and leg style, and the table is built to the same exacting standards as our cabinetry.
What woods and joinery do you use for your dining tables?
We use responsibly sourced timbers such as solid oak and black American walnut, and traditional joinery techniques including mortice and tenon. The result is a hand-smoothed, hardwearing table designed to last for generations.
How many people can a bespoke dining table seat?
Because each table is made to measure, we can build for anything from an intimate four-seater up to a grand table seating twelve. A 2m table, for example, comfortably seats six.
Where can a dining table go in a kitchen?
There are four placements we use most often: at the heart of an open-plan kitchen, tucked into a dining alcove facing the garden, integrated as an extension of the island with banquette seating, or in a separate, formal dining room.
Where does Handmade Kitchen Company make its dining tables?
Our dining tables are designed and handcrafted at our workshop in Essex, alongside our kitchens, for clients across Essex, Hertfordshire and North London.
