Bar counter in the interior
Bar counter Moved to our homes from restaurants and cafesand today the bar counters can be seen both in spacious cottages and in small-sized Khrushchevs. But is there a bar in the house? Does it benefit or only "clutter up" space?
Classic bar counter is a furniture design,designed to divide the bar space into 2 functional areas: for the barman and visitors. In modern homes and apartments, the bar counter is rarely used for its intended purpose. Quite often it replaces the dining table itself or complements it, fulfills the function of the partition between the zones in the room.
Characteristic feature of the bar - its height (110-115 cm) and in order to conveniently sit behind the bar, it is usually equipped with special bar stools or chairs on high legs.
In the interior of most of the domestic apartments, the bar counter "caught on" in the kitchen. In large spacious kitchens, the bar counter can serve to divide the room into two zones: a working area and a dining room. This is a very convenient and aesthetic option.
However, in small kitchens, the bar counter can take a worthy place, for example, substituting a full-fledged dining table for which there simply is not enough space in such a kitchen.
Another great solution for a small kitchen - bar counter, combined with a dining table. In this case, the bar has 2 levelsheight. The higher level is actually the bar counter and turned "face" to the living room or dining room. The low level becomes the table, it is turned towards the kitchen. Such a solution becomes very convenient and aesthetic in a well-thought-out arrangement.
The bar counter is not a finished piece of furniture, but"Designer", "cubes" to which everyone chooses himself. You can choose countertops, legs, shelves, lighting and accessories for every taste and purse. The design of the bar must be tied to the overall design of the kitchen.
For the manufacture of bar counters, you can chooseany materials: wood, glass, plastic, and metal. You can combine different materials or choose only one of them - it all depends on the designed design.
One of the main requirements for the bar is its ergonomics. The shape and dimensions of the bar must be such that it does not interfere with free movement around the kitchen, because its projecting corners can cause falls and serious injuries.
