If you are looking for a breakfast bar for your dining room or kitchen that screams iconic interior design, this is it.

Condition

Our pieces are full of charm and patina of a bygone era, they are irreplaceable and timeless in style, carrying with them a story. As our items are preloved, it is to be expected that you may find some nicks or dents to the woodwork, and by flaunting all of their flaws and imperfections, it only enhances their character and beauty. As our items are handmade to order, there may be slight variations to the photographs - the wood may be a slightly different colour, and grains and markings, locations of knots and scars will be different, welds may larger or smaller. Please be aware that we do not grind back our welds, as we feel this adds to the character of the item. We do not sand or finish the underside of our tables so that the wood can breathe, which means the wood will be in its raw state and rough to the touch. All of our pieces are quintessentially classical in design, and exhibit the almost lost art of detailed joinery and perfection that we no longer find in modern times. Our pieces are not only timeless and individual, but they are also the green option as for every piece that is restored, another tree is saved.

White kitchen with a breakfast bar: 50 examples of interiors

Increasingly, in addition to the standard kitchen set-table-corner (or chairs), a bar counter is also being installed. In a large kitchen, it acts as an additional surface and an unusual decor element, in a studio apartment it helps to zone the space, in small rooms it can replace a massive dining table.

In a studio apartment

In such apartments, the issue of zoning is usually very acute: it is necessary to separate the kitchen part of the territory from everything else. This is necessary both for convenience and for an aesthetic appearance - you must admit, few people like to sleep in the same place where food is prepared.

A well-chosen bar counter can be an excellent solution to a problem. Let's see?

If you have a small-sized apartment in which the kitchen is combined with the living room, try to install a narrow worktop of the simplest form along the border of the working area. Such a bar counter will not be expensive, but it looks very elegant.

At the same time, the white color visually adds space - you will agree that it is not only beautiful, but also functional.

In this example of a black and white kitchen, the breakfast bar doubles as a work surface. It cannot be denied that it is extremely convenient - just wipe it thoroughly and a great place for gatherings is ready.

The height of the bar counter is of great importance for the formation of the interior. If you slightly lift it above the headset, you can separate it from the working area, emphasizing that they are only relaxing here.

In fact, installing a bar counter can completely replace a dining table. Of course, if you have a large family or have a habit of having guests in the kitchen with three courses every day, this option is not very convenient.

But if 1-2 people live in an apartment, why not? Think high-tech kitchen with a curved breakfast bar - stylish and unusual. The contrast between the straight lines of the headset and appliances and the rounded ones on the bar is what you need if you decide to give preference to a monochromatic interior.

Large kitchen

Even in a spacious kitchen, the bar counter can be small and elegant - for example, as in this photo. In fact, this is just a countertop protruding at a certain height, complemented by bar stools. However, it looks beautiful, especially if you choose gloss black on a white background.

In a small room, it is better not to use this technique - you will constantly cling to the protruding part of the structure, which will outweigh all its advantages.

A spacious bar with a white facade will make a room of a standard layout unusual. To do this, place it not perpendicular to the headset, but a little obliquely - so you can slightly distort the space, avoiding square zones.

Another interesting option for a white kitchen is a wooden bar counter. Adding natural elements to a high-tech interior is a very unusual technique that can diversify the design of a room. True, when playing with texture, you will have to forget about experiments with shape - here the most simple square tabletop will look most harmonious.

A white kitchen with a classic breakfast bar is also a viable option. We recommend that you give preference to matte tones and try to choose furniture decorated with decorated glass, rather than single-textured doors.

By the way, such a bar easily turns into a functional part of the kitchen area - as in this photo. It has a built-in cabinet where you can hide dishes and other little things. Agree, even in the largest and most spacious kitchen there is always not enough extra space.

Placement of the bar by the window is especially justified if it is a bay window or large panoramic windows. In this case, it will be possible to combine business with pleasure - to watch a beautiful view and sit at the bar, enjoying your favorite food and drinks. At the same time, both the counter and the chairs are selected as minimalist as possible - so as not to draw attention to themselves.

Nuance: In a small kitchen, this technique is also justified if the area is not enough to accommodate a dining table, and the window sill is wide enough. Install a bar counter on it - so you get a dining place that does not take up space.

Small kitchen

What if you have limited space? You definitely don’t need to give up the dream of equipping a real bar counter in a small kitchen!

Even in tiny rooms, they can look very appropriate, not only pleasing the owners, but also performing a number of quite useful functions.

The ideal proof of this statement is a small kitchen niche in which the bar takes pride of place. First, it divides the room into two parts. Secondly, it replaces the dining table, which would require much more free space. And, no less important, there are additional containers for storing kitchen utensils inside.

If you have a larger room, try this option. Of course, it will be difficult to call the construction a full-fledged bar. On the other hand, if you want to sit over a glass of wine with a loved one or a friend, there is enough space.

A nice bonus: It's easy to place a locker under this rack, so as not to leave the slightest space idle.

In a small kitchen, you can divert attention from the lack of space with bright accents. Let the countertop be white, like the rest of the interior. But bar stools, chandeliers and small decorative elements need to be made bright, for example, red or blue.

As you can see, bar counters are perfect for kitchens decorated in white and light colors. It doesn't matter what the layout of the room is - if you wish, you will be able to fit in there both a full-fledged bar and a small panel.

It's not for nothing that bar counters for the kitchen are gaining more and more popularity in interior design: they are comfortable, roomy, look stylish, and also help save space. Only in order to correctly fit the design into the ensemble of the room, it is necessary to have an idea about the configuration, model range and other features of this type of furniture. More details in our article!

What are they and why are they needed

A bar counter is a high tabletop on supports, which is often a continuation of the working area. She usually comes with bar stools, and the whole ensemble creates a relaxing stylish atmosphere.

But in addition to external aesthetics, bar counters also have a number of advantages that distinguish them from other types of furniture. Unlike conventional tables, they often include extra space for crockery and other kitchen utensils. You can even fit large appliances into the rack, like a dishwasher or an electric oven. Owners of a small area will appreciate this property.

In addition, a complete kitchen bar counter is considered a multifunctional item that saves space. It can include not only dining, but also working areas, not to mention storage spaces. A kitchen with such furniture looks modern, fits many styles, but more on that later.

However, don't run to the store right away: despite the significant advantages, this solution is not suitable for every kitchen. Firstly, the racks are rarely able to accommodate more than three people, and large models look out of place even in a spacious room, resembling the interior of a bar.

Secondly, due to the monolithic design, the rack is not mobile, like, for example, a dining table, which, if necessary, can be moved to another location.

Types of bar counters for the kitchen

To enjoy the advantages of bar counters, owners of apartments with different layouts could enjoy, today there are a large variety of their types. They differ in shape, location options and equipment.

Island bar counter

The interior of the kitchen is built around this item, which can be combined with the work area. Suitable for large rooms or combined with the living room. Such bar counters differ in shape: semicircular, U- or L-shaped. They are a separate part of the kitchen set, made in the same style, which creates the effect of integrity.

Bar counter built into furniture

The bar counter is part of a countertop or other element, while continuing in any direction. There are many placement options: as part of a kitchen island, work area, and sometimes even a window sill.

The last look is perfect for small kitchens as it makes use of the normally inactive area next to the window. Besides, who doesn't enjoy looking at the scenery while having breakfast?

Bar counter-partition

A popular solution for open-plan studio apartments that require logical zoning of premises. In this case, the bar counter can separate the kitchen from the living room, while offering a comfortable place to eat. Often it is a continuation of the wall and is located parallel to the main furniture.

Level bar counter

This is a narrow platform that is installed above the workplace from the opposite side, without taking up extra space. The only recommendation is to purchase higher chairs.

Mini bar counter

When choosing a bar counter for a small kitchen, it is better to pay attention to small models with laconic equipment. Often these are a kind of bar "wings" no more than a meter long, which can accommodate no more than two people. But for many small-sized owners who live alone, this will be enough.

Bar counter materials

Not only the appearance of the bar for the kitchen depends on the choice of the necessary material, but also the characteristics, the method of care and, of course, the cost. Consider the most common options.

Laminated chipboard

One of the most affordable types at a relatively low price. At the same time, laminated chipboard offers a wide variety of design solutions, imitations of stone, wood or unusual prints. It has high resistance to external influence of moisture, high temperatures, which is important for the kitchen. But due to low strength and non-environmental friendliness, such a model will not last a long time.

Acrylic

The advantage of this material is its flexibility and suppleness - it can be used to create furniture of various shapes, with curves, bulges, even curly elements. It will fit perfectly into the interior in a modern style, where interesting design ideas are appropriate. A futuristic kitchen is definitely not complete without the glossy, flowing surface characteristic of acrylic.

Natural stone

Has a luxurious, rich texture that can be used as a decorative component in itself. Bar counters for the kitchen made of natural stone are usually ordered complete with other kitchen furniture, since the “consonance” of materials in space plays an important role. But keep in mind that this is an expensive species that requires special care.

Glass

Of course, not the most practical solution, which even after special processing remains fragile when compared with other materials. In addition, the glass is quite cold and "unfriendly" to the touch. But the unique appearance of the products eliminates all the shortcomings if aesthetics plays a key role in the interior. The transparent texture, as well as the variability of colors, will make such a bar counter a key element in the kitchen. Works well with other materials.

How to fit into the interior

Bar counters are a modern type of furniture, but this does not mean that they cannot fit into different interior styles. At the same time, they often come with a kitchen set, which simplifies the creation of a holistic image of the interior.

Classic style kitchen bar counter

Classic puts forward universal criteria for each element, adjusting to which, you can harmoniously fit even a bar counter. It is best to use natural materials, preferably wood, with carved inserts, patterns and laconic equipment.

The rack in this style should have a standard, rectangular shape. It is recommended to give preference to the island model, only there should be a lot of space in the kitchen for such a solution. However, the classics always love large areas, so this point must be taken into account in advance.

Bar counter for the kitchen in a modern style

Things are different with the modern kitchen, the substantive content of which is primarily functional. The main requirement is that the bar counter should take into account the features of the space, becoming its logical continuation.

The decor is not shaped details, but the material, the combination of matt and gloss, the shape, which can be presented in all possible options, as well as the color scheme.

Provence style kitchen bar counter

Style has common features with the classic, but has a completely different image. Provence is lightness, naturalness and simplicity. The bar counter for such a kitchen should be made of natural wood, and then painted white. However, any tone from the pastel range will look organic here.

It is recommended to give preference to antique items, with noticeable layers of time and history. But for this effect, you can artificially age the furniture - such a solution will help create the right atmosphere.

Minimalist kitchen bar counter

Everything is simple with minimalism - laconic colors, shapes, lines, lack of decorative elements. Geometry plays a huge role in such an interior, so even the bar counter resembles rather a rectangular piece of material, the beauty of which is revealed in an ensemble with other elements.

Bar counter for kitchen in loft style

The bar counter will look most natural in such a kitchen. The loft is characterized by a combination of details of industrial or public spaces, the composition of which surprisingly acquires a cozy character in a private room. Wooden as well as concrete surfaces look very stylish and appropriate here. It is better if the texture has a slightly raw look.

Bar counters for a small kitchen

Not everyone is a happy owner of spacious apartments, where you can easily fit a bar counter of any model. But there are optimal options, using which your kitchen will acquire a unique and stylish look.

Let's note right away that you will have to refuse a full-fledged bar counter! In a small kitchen, it will be possible to accommodate a countertop up to 90 cm, which is part of a wall or other items.
