Small space, big impact: compact kitchen bar ideas
Small space, big impact: compact kitchen bar ideas
When it comes to kitchen design, we all adore the concept of expansive countertops and long islands. The reality for many of us is a smaller kitchen space. However, it is not necessary to disregard beauty or functionality because of a smaller area. A small kitchen may be effective if it has been intelligently designed and implemented, and one of the best ways to do this is by including a small kitchen bar. Here are some suggestions for an efficient kitchen bar.
Vertical bar stools
Think vertically when floor space is at a limit. Choose tall bar stools that will give your kitchen a sense of height and can be put away neatly beneath the bar when not in use. This approach not only makes the most of the available space but also creates a stylish look.
Foldable bars
For those who are limited by space, a folding bar can be a game-changer. These flexible bars can be stored away when not in use to conserve space. When you’re prepared to host guests, just unfold the bar.
Open shelving
Visual space is very important in a small kitchen. You might want to consider switching to open shelving instead of conventional upper cabinets. This not only gives the impression of being light and open, but it also gives you a chance to show off your culinary utensils or glasses.

Stylish lighting
In any room, lighting is important, but in a small room, maybe even more! By adding chic pendant lights over your kitchen island, you can make your lighting operate as decorative elements as well. It draws the eye up and gives the impression of height.
Multifunctional furniture
In a small kitchen, make every piece of furniture count. Choose bar stools that may also be used as extra seating in your dining or living space. Or pick a small table with storage underneath for your wine collection, for example. Choose furniture that fulfills numerous functions.
Mirrors
If you have a small kitchen bar area, the secret weapon for enlarging your small space is a mirror. It reflects light throughout the space, giving the space a bit of shine, but it also makes it appear larger.
