Choose The Right Furniture
If you are lucky enough to have a bar in or
near your kitchen, then you know what a useful place a bar can be.
Those who live without a bar don't know the way that it adds space
and seating options and the way it allows families to gather for
short or long times in a setting more informal than at the dining
room table. My kitchen bar has become the gathering place for my
children both before and after school. We use that spot so much that
my wife and I knew we needed to be intentional about choosing the
right bar furniture.
As an interior designer, I am always giving people advice about
creating their ideal homes. The longer I have been in the business,
the more I have learned that there are certain areas of the home
that need to be focused on more. A bar nook is one of those places
that I always encourage people to spend a little more time, energy
and money being intentional about. I say this because of the
frequency with which most people use their bar nooks. My advice to
people is that they will use their bar nooks a lot more if they take
time to do it well. I share with them that a bar nook can become one
of the biggest gathering places for families. Bar furniture is a
necessary step to creating this great environment.
Obviously, you want your bar furniture to match the style and feel
of the rest of your kitchen and dining area, so don't be too quick
to rush off into plans that will make your bar nook stand out too
much. My advice to people is always that they should have a unique
element or two to their bar furniture without making them entirely
other than the decor of the surrounding area. You want it to stand
out and blend in at the same time.
One of the key features of any bar furniture should be comfort. No
one will stay in an area long if it is not comfortable, so think
about longevity and comfort when you are looking for the perfect bar
furniture. Grab a few magazines and get ideas from other peoples'
homes. See what works and what looks like too much in the bar nook
area. Magazines are one of the best sources of creativity, so use
this resource and slowly gather ideas for your bar furniture. If you
have an interior designer working with you, he or she will be able
to really help you make this space effective as well.
