Breakfast bars add a touch of elegance and class to any kitchen space. If you’re considering this space in your next whole home remodeling project, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Lubbock shares a few things to help you design and implement the perfect breakfast bar.
Benefits of Having a Breakfast Bar
Installing a breakfast bar brings numerous advantages to your home. It’s a space-efficient solution that offers a cozy place for morning coffees, quick meals or leisurely weekend brunches. Besides its practicality, a breakfast bar can serve as a stylish focal point in your kitchen, adding value and appeal to your home. It’s suitable for families, providing a sociable dining area without the formality of a separate dining room. For guests, it serves as an additional space to entertain and as a serving area for snacks and drinks.
Design Elements to Consider
There are several crucial aspects to consider when designing a beautiful breakfast bar for your new kitchen remodel project. First, assess the available floor space to ensure the breakfast bar fits seamlessly without obstructing the kitchen’s flow. Next, the location of your breakfast bar should complement the kitchen’s overall design. It should allow for smooth movement and interaction. It can offer a view of the cooking area – and makes it easy to talk to each other during meal preparations.
Third, selecting the right material for your breakfast bar is essential for both aesthetics and maintenance. Options like quartz, granite or laminate can offer durability and style without breaking the bank. Lastly, consider storage solutions underneath the breakfast bar that can maximize your kitchen’s functionality. Shelving, drawers or cupboards can help keep your space organized and clutter-free.
Different Breakfast Bar Styles
The style of your breakfast bar after your kitchen renovation should reflect your personal taste and complement your kitchen’s design. Here are some styles to consider:
-
Raised Breakfast Bar: Ideal for delineating the kitchen from the dining area, it provides a clear, elevated dining zone.
-
Lowered Breakfast Bar: Offers a comfortable seating height, making it safer for families with young children and creating a distinct area for dining.
-
Floating Breakfast Bar: A modern, space-saving solution that can make your kitchen look open and airy.
-
L-shaped Breakfast Bar: Perfect for maximizing corner spaces and providing ample seating, enhancing the kitchen’s social aspect.
-
Corner or Wall-mounted Breakfast Bar: An ergonomic option for smaller kitchens, utilizing wall spaces efficiently without compromising on style or functionality.
Making Your Breakfast Bar Functional
To ensure your breakfast bar serves its intended purpose, your new home remodel must include features like built-in power outlets for appliances, adequate lighting and comfortable seating. Adjustable stools or chairs can accommodate family members and guests of different heights and mobility.
