A kitchen breakfast bar can be a great addition to any kitchen, providing a convenient spot for quick meals, casual gatherings, and additional workspace. But how can you make sure this is effective and what are the important kitchen breakfast bar design ideas?
What are the most effective kitchen breakfast bar design ideas?
When designing your kitchen breakfast bar, there are many factors to consider, including:
- The height of the breakfast bar- A kitchen breakfast bar should be at a comfortable height for sitting and eating, typically around 42 inches. This allows for enough space for your legs and knees to fit underneath the bar while seated. However, if you would to to use bar stools, you may want to consider a slightly higher bar height of around 46 inches.
- Choosing the right seating- The right seating can make a big difference to the functionality of your breakfast bar. Firstly, you will need to make sure to include enough seating for the size of your breakfast bar. Stools are a common choice, and you can choose from a variety of styles to fit your design aesthetic. However, you can also consider bench seating or even chairs for your breakfast bar. Be sure to leave enough space between the seats for comfort and ease of movement.
- Creating a zonal area- If your kitchen is open to other living areas, you can use your breakfast bar as a divider to create a sense of separation. This can be especially useful if you have a large, open-concept kitchen. To achieve this effectively the breakfast bar should flow seamlessly with the rest of your kitchen. Make sure to consider the layout and design of the surrounding space to ensure a cohesive look, and opt for colours and styles that tie in together.
