Renovating your kitchen could mean that you start to consider installing a breakfast bar. This is not only a great way to save some space in your kitchen while making it look ultra modern, but it can help you to make something useful out of extra storage space. A breakfast bar with storage included will double up as a useful addition to your kitchen, helping you to save space by storing things practically and providing a modest and convenient place to eat.

What are the best breakfast bar designs for storage?

Making your breakfast bar into somewhat of a display cabinet could add some character and life to your kitchen if you have some pretty items you'd like to display. This style is 4-5 feet tall like the average breakfast bar, but has several shelves which allow you to display or store things. This could be different jars of cereal or decorative bowls that you've always wanted to find a home for.

What are the benefits of stand-alone breakfast bars?

A breakfast bar which is independent of other units doesn't suit all kitchens but can be a good choice under some circumstances. For example, if you want a breakfast bar but you're not prepared to renovate your kitchen in order to allow for the installation of the new furniture, a stand alone bar can be much cheaper and more suitable.

What are the most common designs of stand-alone breakfast bars?

One style of stand-alone breakfast bar consists of a metal frame and several drawers which can be pulled out from underneath the bar. Since this includes storage drawers, it's rare that you can find this style in a foldable design. The table top is usually wooden, while the individual stools to be positioned at the bar have leather or faux leather seats.
If you want more storage space at your breakfast bar, consider a large style which is chunkier and made from wood throughout. While this takes up more space and is therefore not always suited to smaller kitchens, there are normally 4-6 drawers or small cupboards which you can make use of.
Another style you can consider is a smaller and sleek chrome framed breakfast bar but with additional tall storage which you can position against a wall. This style is very suited if you have a free corner in your kitchen that you can use for the breakfast bar. A storage rack positioned against the wall will allow easy storage and access of all your breakfast necessities.

How to pick the right color for your breakfast bar?

Deciding on just one color is never easy, and you might think that one block color won't suit your kitchen in any case. A popular look is to mix two different colors or materials. One such example is white wooden units for the breakfast bar, topped with a traditional brown wooden top. Within the units are various shapes and sizes of drawers and cupboards. This will enable you to make the most of the breakfast bar and storing plates, mugs, glasses and cutlery as necessary.
