If you’re looking to expand your seating set-up or give yourself a more obvious place to entertain, a kitchen bar can be a great way to do it. And since no bar is complete without a couple of chic bar stools, a kitchen bar gives you the opportunity to bring a pop of color, texture, or visual flair into your space, too.
Of course, there are many different ways to bring a kitchen bar into your space. You could add a kitchen island, reimagine some of the countertops you already have, or spring for a full-blown renovation. But remember, as long as you have a couple of places to sit—and room to eat or drink—you should have everything you need to make a kitchen bar happen.
Take a look at some of the prettiest kitchen bars we’ve ever seen and consider some design ideas you could bring into your own space.
