When organizing a kitchen and using current trends in interior design, it is difficult to abandon an element like a kitchen bar table. Firstly, it can be used to perfectly organize the space. Secondly, it is a modern approach to room design. Thirdly, this element of kitchen furniture clearly fits not only into the kitchen, but also into our life.
The bar table for the kitchen came to us from the West, where restaurant food is highly developed, especially “fast food”. But such an approach to eating in Russia is impossible. We love to eat thoroughly, slowly. Therefore, the bar table for the kitchen has taken on its purely national characteristics.
Original design
Features of the bar table in the Russian style
- Such a table must be tied to the kitchen space both functionally and constructively.
- It does not replace the dining table, it complements it. There are, of course, weirdos who only use the bar table.
But keep in mind, abolishing the dining ritual is somehow not our way. In addition, if there are small children in the house, then they certainly do not belong at a high table.
Modern models
As is often the case when choosing a bar table for the kitchen, many of us have a partial idea of the subject of choice. And it seems to many that the models basically differ from each other in the materials used in their production, color, shape. But experts pay attention to the stylistic design of this piece of furniture.
Classic model
Bar table in classic style
This is a fairly tall table mounted on bar consoles. Its height ranges from 1.1-1.15 meters. Usually, such an element is complemented by high stools with a comfortable foot bar. Its entire appearance shows that this is a purely bar element.
Designers use two approaches for this.
-
The dining table and bar have the same height. Do not be surprised, even for the classics, you can change the height, adjusting it to the required size.
This option is convenient in that the two surfaces flow smoothly into each other. The illusion of complete correspondence of a single space is created. -
Tables of different heights: the smaller one is the dining room, the higher one, respectively, the bar one. This approach is often used when it is necessary to delimit two areas, the work area and the dining area.
And if the apartment is being redeveloped, then this particular option is more suitable than the rest.
Island model
Island type bar table
Usually, designers try to use this option in spacious rooms. The so-called "island" is a prefabricated structure, where several elements necessary in the kitchen are mounted, carrying a purely practical purpose. This is a hob, sink and table.
Very often in such a symbiosis it is quite difficult to determine what is what. But there are lovers who like to meet guests in the cozy atmosphere of the kitchen, and serve food, so to speak, with ardor, heat. And at the same time, the entire process of preparing the dish should be carried out in front of the amazed audience. In this case, this option will be relevant.
Traditional model
Young people of today prefer to see their own apartments as a place for leisure. Therefore, bar tables and chairs for the kitchen can be used for their intended purpose. That is, a place is being organized for a full-fledged bar with accompanying furniture elements: a refrigerator, kitchen bar counter, a small sink, shelves for drinks and more.
The ideal option for such a corner is a one-room studio apartment.
Traditional approach
Note that in this case, the bar kitchen table returns to its true place. Therefore, solving this particular situation with placement, you can solve the issue of the design of the room itself.
That is, high-tech style or minimalism with elements of restaurant decoration is the solution to this problem.
Is it furniture
Kitchen bar tables do not belong to the furniture category. Experts believe that this is a design, therefore, all furniture factories do not produce them in finished form.
Individual parts and elements are offered that can be assembled, by the way, with your own hands, at the destination.
What do manufacturers offer today?
- Shelves;
- Racks;
- Legs;
- Backlight;
- Kitchen countertops;
- Plinths;
- Fittings.
By purchasing various parts, you can assemble the option that suits your kitchen design exactly. And the more details, the higher the price - that's the law. The most important thing is to correctly tie the design of the table to the design of the kitchen set and to the design of the room as a whole (see. also kitchen design with a bar).
Design features and materials
Currently, manufacturers offer two types of tables: one-level and two-level. The latter, for some reason, is rarely bought. Probably, the Russian mentality is at work here.
Marble two-level table
In addition, this furniture element can be supplemented with various shelves, niches, stands and so on. Open or closed options can be used here. As usual, everything is up to you.
Now a little about the materials. For the manufacture of this element, a fairly wide range of raw materials is used: wood, chipboard, artificial and natural stone (photo above), laminate, metal, ceramic tiles and other.
Very often, designers offer to combine various materials, thereby approaching the solution of design problems in an extraordinary way. The most popular material today is corian.
An excellent composite material, similar to marble, but much stronger than it. If scratches or other defects appear on the surface of the Corian, then it is simply polished. In addition, its color palette is so diverse that it will not be difficult to choose the exact color for the kitchen design.
