Small kitchen with breakfast bar

The bar counter in the kitchen is not just a tribute to fashion and rejection of boring stereotyped interiors. In fact, contrary to the established opinion, this is really functional furniture, which has undeniable advantages over classic kitchen tables. The variants of kitchens with a bar counter are not limited to the size of the premises, but for the owners of small apartments it is simply a salvation.

The standard size of the bar in the kitchen is 120x55x104h, but in each case, these dimensions can be changed depending on the characteristics of the room. So, for example, for a particularly small kitchen, the width of the countertop will reasonably be less, which will save a lot of space.

Mini bar for kitchen: options for use

Depending on the size of the kitchen, its functional characteristics, as well as the preferences of the owners, bar counters can be used in such variations:

1. Bar counter, as a component of the kitchen set . In this case, the furniture manufacturer provides a bar rack, as one of the headset modules, along the height of the corresponding entire structure. This allows you to use it not only as a dining table, but also as a work surface.
2. Bar counter, performing the role of "screen" . This option is preferred in kitchens combined with a living room or dining room, and the counter in this case becomes a successful way of zoning the room.
3. Bar counter - dining table. For owners of small kitchens, it is possible to use the kitchen space most practical if you install a bar counter along the window or on any convenient wall, adjusting it to the required dimensions.

To date, manufacturers make kitchen furniture from a wide variety of materials. It can be wood, metal, chipboard, MDF, stone, etc. However, for a small kitchen with a bar counter, the most preferred material for the countertop will be impact-resistant glass, which will greatly facilitate the space. In addition, to save space, it is desirable to purchase not bar stools with backs, but high stools made of transparent plastic. This is certainly not so comfortable, but they can easily be placed under the countertop of the rack, freeing the passage.

Of course, in a compact kitchen with a bar counter it is impossible to provide traditional lockers for storing various accessories, but still it allows you to maximally functionally organize the space of a small room.
