Who says bars aren’t practical?
Bar counters are usually used to add to the romantic atmosphere in ordinary families. This design seems to be dispensable in most people's minds. However, this view is actually somewhat incorrect. Today, the design sister is going to popularize more possibilities of bar counters and at the same time enhance your confidence in installing a bar counter. I believe that your concerns will be alleviated after reading this!
1. Bar counter for large apartment
▲For large apartments, the bar can be used as a space partition. As for the actual function of the bar: wine tasting, office, leisure... different families have different needs.
▲While serving as a partition, it is also a very practical storage cabinet. With a small bar chair placed on it, it can also become a romantic bar area.
▲The island workbench in the kitchen is used for preparing meals, adding to the atmosphere of the kitchen space and bringing family members closer together.
▲The bar counter can also be used as a western cooking table. People who like to make snacks and Western food feel constrained when working at the workbench in the kitchen. It would be very enjoyable to have a bar counter like this.
▲The partition of the open kitchen is also a great little corner for drinking or having coffee.
2. The bar is also a dining table for small apartments
In small apartments, the bar counter actually also serves as a dining table, because the space is too small to accommodate a dining table. A bar counter that does not take up much space can be used as a dining table. However, such a dining table is only suitable for singles or couples. It is not practical if there are many people in the family.
To meet the needs of small-sized apartments, here is a set of pictures:
Ⅰ. Conventional double-seater bar:

III. Four-person bar
The four-person bar counter can be used as a dining table, so it is not impossible to squeeze in. After all, if you want to accommodate more people in a small apartment, it depends entirely on bold and careful design.

3. Bar by the window/wall
Careful friends may find that the bars introduced above are basically arranged in the middle of the space. Such an arrangement can only be achieved if the space is relatively ample. For some very small apartments, if you want to use a bar instead of a dining table and get more other space, you can continue to look at the following designs:
Ⅰ. Small bar by the window/wall
Placing the bar by the window or against the wall can free up more space for traffic flow, which is suitable for space utilization in small apartments.

Ⅱ. Window-side leisure bar
The view near the window is better. If the bar is used as a leisure area, it will be more romantic if it is installed near the window.
