In European countries, kitchen bar counters call the breakfast bar - “for breakfast”, which reflects its functional purpose in modern apartments much more fully.
A kitchen set of G– or U-shaped form is very convenient in itself, and with a bar counter it becomes even more functional. Such an angular kitchen forms a space in which work surfaces are located on three sides. This is especially true for large or, conversely, small kitchens. In the first case, the bar table becomes a supplement to both the dining table and the working tabletop, after which it is convenient to have breakfast, have a snack and, oddly enough, work at the computer. In addition, a corner kitchen with a breakfast bar is one of the best ways to zone a combined space in a studio apartment or in kitchen-living room.
In a small kitchen, the counter often replaces the table, and in a studio apartment or a kitchen-living room, it divides the space into zones.
The corner kitchen with a bar can have the following layout:
- Stand as a continuation of the kitchen;
- Additional table top as a separate item.
Bar counter as a continuation of the kitchen
If the stand is a continuation of the headset, the tabletop for them is set to be a single, but consisting of 2 or more parts, the joint is closed with an aluminum bar.
Bar counter height in this case it will be 86, 88 or 91 cm, width - 60 cm, the length is chosen at the rate of 60 cm per person, but so that the passage between it and the wall is at least 1 m, therefore bar tables are often double for a small area . Chairs better pick a height of about 50-62 cm.
The table top can rely on the same as in the headset, pedestals, stand on legs or one pedestal, as shown in the photo below.
The corner kitchen with a bar counter can even be two-level.
An interesting solution - window sill converted into a bar table.
Corner kitchen with free-standing bar
If the stand is free-standing, then it can have a height of 110-130 cm and lean on the rod and / or fasten to the wall or to the ceiling.
But if you wish, it can be the same height as the lower modules of the headset, this is a matter of taste.
The bar table can be arranged in such a way that it serves as a “tree” for holders of glasses, bottles, fruit plates, other useful accessories.
A separate island with a bar can be located in the center of the corner kitchen, so that the aisles on all sides are no longer 100 meters.
The table top of an independent table does not have to repeat the design of the kitchen table top. For example, it may be glass.
But more often tabletops are made the same.
On large spaces, where the bar table is enclosed by the working part of the kitchen, the tabletop can be made in the shape of an arc.
The rack can even be retractable - it is an effective and economical solution in terms of free space.
