Just because you need a practical 12 seater dining table doesn’t mean you have to forego style and elegance. Most 12 person dining tables have an extension function.

Whether your table is a pedestal, trestle, or standard four-leg style, choose a piece that will stand out with attractive carved wood shapes or a striking color.

A dining table that can seat 12 people around it will typically be very long, which doesn’t necessarily look good or fit well in all dining rooms. It can be difficult to find round or square dining tables for 12, but another solution is to choose an extra-wide rectangular table. This means two people can be placed at each end of the table, so the table can be shorter and still accommodate a dozen people.

If you often entertain or have a large family, you need space to feed big groups, but 12 person dining tables can sometimes look so large that they dominate an entire room. One way to trick the eye and solve this issue is to purchase a dual-color table, specifically a table with one color for the top and another for the legs. 

Not only is this an attractive design feature, but it also breaks up the large surface area of a 12 seater dining table. For the best results, opt for neutral tones or shades that fit your room’s color scheme.

Buying Guide

Dining room tables that seat 12 can be useful in many venues. They can serve as versatile seating for a large family, a school, or even as the main table for a board meeting room. Such tables can come in all sorts of materials, from rude planking to expensively veneered elegance. They can even come in a variety of shapes – rectangles are the most common, but square or round tables can also seat multiple persons.

Unique dining table made from a large tree

A beautiful and unusual table easily seating twelve can be made from a slab cut from the center of a large tree. The legs and braces can also be shaped from the tree, making it an amazing organic table. Carefully sanded and finished to a high gloss, it’s almost a one of a kind sort of furnishing. If you live near a lumber mill, and there are large trees in your area, it is just possible that you might be able to obtain the materials to make a similar table yourself. Flank it with “twig” dining room chairs, and you have a décor that your visitors just won’t stop talking about.

“Rough-hewn” plank tables?

Trees large enough to make a table from a single cut of heartwood don’t grow just anywhere, but you can have a rustic table by using oak planks or even weathered barn wood to create a rustic dining room table that will easily seat twelve. Such a table goes well with ladder back chairs or straight-back shaker style kitchen chairs. Add some gingham cushions and matching window curtains, and decorate with copper or zinc tubs and vases for a down-home look that will have people coming to your kitchen to relax, and enjoy your great cooking, of course.

Exotic and elegant table made from Brazilian rosewood

Nothing says luxury quite like a lovely dining table made from Brazilian rosewood. Team it with black, leatherette chairs and black china for a statement of sophisticated elegance. Or set it with professional black notebooks and gold pens for that important boardroom meeting. Dress it up with handmade lace and lighter toned gold-rimmed china for a business dinner at your home – the one where you need to impress your boss with your excellent taste and home management.

Maybe you don’t need to seat twelve people every day – that’s where a table with extension leaves comes in. An ordinary sort of dining room table plus a set of stacking chairs can go from an ordinary “seats four” dining room set to a banquet table for twelve with minimum effort. Bring the extra chairs out from their closet, and you are ready for that scout troop or for the garden club. It might not make the statement created by some of the other styles mentioned here, but what it lacks in style it makes up for in versatility.

Enjoy your shopping experience when looking for a table that will seat twelve. Consider your personal space – will a rectangle, a square or a circle fit best? Do you want the length permanently or temporarily? So many options – so many pretty tables!

Dining Room Tables That Seat 12

Questions & Answers

Dining room tables come in various shapes – the most popular ones being oval, round, rectangular and square, but you can also get yourself a so-called “freeform” dining table. Generally, the amount of space and the shape of your dining room is what dictates the shape of your dining table. However, rectangular dining tables are the most popular shape when you want to seat so many people on a regular basis.

Check the double pedestal dining tables – these are expandable, which means that they serve as normal, standard size tables on ordinary days, but can be expanded to seat more people when the situation calls for it.

The dining table for seating around 12 people on a regular basis should a heavy-duty one, and that’s why we suggest looking at hardwood, marble or metal. All of them are pretty easy to clean and should serve you a lifetime. Additionally, they are very versatile design-wise, so everyone can find something for himself!

That depends on the shape of your dining table. A circular dining table has to be at least 8 feet in diameter to seat 12 people. A square dining table needs the sides of at least 8 feet. A rectangular dining table should be around 4 feet and 6 inches wide and 10 feet long for the same purpose. However, you have to add at least 36 inches between the edge of the table and the wall, for walking space and for the chairs.

Generally, the minimum depth that’s needed for the dining table is 30 inches. However, if you know that you will be keeping a lot of dishes at once on your table, 36 inches or even more may be better, to accommodate platters, pitches, bowls, etc.

One of the most important, and also most neglected, aspects of the dining room with such a big dining table is the illumination. A dining table for 12 people has to be properly illuminated. For traditional, luxurious dining tables, it’s best to look at chandeliers. Modern dining tables, on the other hand, work great with pendant lighting fixtures.
