Decorating the kitchen in white will visually expand the space, but it will not seem impractical – after all, cleaning in this room is carried out more often than in any other, and to leave unnoticed dirt here is not worth it. Such an interior looks modern and stylish, especially if it has interesting design chips. One of them is the presence of a bar counter – sometimes it replaces the dining table, but can also be used with it. How to choose it correctly and harmoniously fit into the interior?

Large white kitchen with a bar counter

Spacious rooms always imply more room for imagination than small ones. It may seem that the bar can be put even in the center of the kitchen, but in such a judgment you need to consider a couple of nuances: If the room is supposed to be zoned, then the bar is a great option for drawing the boundary. For example, it can separate the part of the kitchen where you cook from the part where you eat.

Placing a bar counter just in the center may not be a good option: it will not only visually reduce the space, but also get in the way. In a large kitchen, you can put not a full kitchen, but a small one, which is a protruding part of the countertop. In a small room, this method will be unsuccessful, because it is a division of one small surface into two smaller ones – it will be uncomfortable to cook. A large space allows you to raise one part of the table and change its functionality. It turns out a kind of zoning: the area where you eat is separated from the area intended for cooking.

Large kitchens usually have large windows, so the location of their rack in most cases has the following advantages:

• the ability to eat and relax with a view of the beautiful panorama (if the location of windows allows);
• good natural lighting;
• in an apartment on the first floor rack will move the kitchen away from the window, hiding the household and guests from curious glances from the street.
