Installing a bar counter in the kitchen has become a fairly common phenomenon in the modern arrangement of kitchen space. Often, bar counters can be seen as decoration not only for studio apartments, but also for kitchens in one-room apartments, which are quite small in size. At this time, it is really better to use the bar counter for the place of the dining table.
Rack types and sizes
The standard parameters of typical bar counters are universal. With a length of 1.2 meters and a width of 0.55 meters, they are made 1.05 meters high. However, the height of the racks is made from 1.1 to 1.3 meters, for products that are manufactured in factories. For the most part, the size of the rack depends on what type of furniture has been chosen. The following parameters can be considered as the main ones:
- stand-island;
- two-level;
- continued headset;
- bar table;
- wall stand.
The island looks best in spacious spaces. From how much space there is in the kitchen, the function of the rack can also change. When there is a lot of free space, you can combine all sorts of dishwashers and a sink into one countertop. According to the standard, such a working surface will have to match the height of the island, and be 0.75 meters.
The second type of rack will have not one, but two countertops, and will best serve those in need of zoning in the interior. The lower one will often be used as a working area, and the upper one, which will protrude and be located a little to the side, in order to have a tea party. It is better that the distance between the countertops is in the range from 0.3 to 0.35 meters. In order to cook this distance is enough, plus you can store small items between the countertops.
The third type of countertops implies that the height will be from 0.86 to 0.91 meters. But the length varies from 0.6 meters (the optimal length for one person). The design also sets the width of the racks. Usually it is from 0.3 to 0.6 meters. The main criterion is the ability to be one with the headset and fit into the interior. Together with this option, bar stools with a height of 0.65 meters look very harmonious.
The fourth type of racks is fixed at one end to the wall. Fits perfectly into the space of small kitchens. As a rule, the height of such racks is 0.75 meters, so standard height bar stools go well with it. The tabletop of the last type of racks is attached to the wall using brackets located at a height of 1.1-1.3 meters from the floor.If the kitchen is small in width and elongated, then this is exactly the option.
Standard bar height
Often, modern kitchen sets are immediately equipped with bar counters. On the other hand, an individual project is able to take into account the architectural features of the premises and the possibilities or preferences of the owners. According to the standard, the bar counter should be from 1.1 to 1.15 meters in height. But you can also lower or lower it, for more comfortable use and aesthetic appearance.
