Bar counter and kitchen island: popular design techniques that have become obsolete

16.07.2024 15:04

Kitchens equipped with a small bar counter or island are quite common design techniques.

But, as the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, claims, there is one important condition: they can only be used when the area of the room allows it.

If you have to deal with a small kitchen, you will probably regret your decision.

Even if you enjoy the interior for a few days after the renovation is completed, it only takes a few bumps into corners and, due to the lack of space to maneuver, it will no longer seem so beautiful.

When the “food block” in the apartment is small in size, but you want to make it stylish and functional, use the following technique.

Increase the width of the window sill, turning it into a tabletop, and add two chairs - you will get something like a bar counter.

This way, you will not only save space, since you will not have to arrange a separate dining area, but also add originality to the kitchen interior.
