Using a Breakfast Bar to Maximise your Space

Before you decide what breakfast bar works for you, take a good look at your kitchen and assess your space and how you plan to use it.  They are great for small kitchens as they take up less room than a table, and can double up as storage.

You could consider adding shelves or cabinets underneath the breakfast bar to store pots, pans, portable appliances and other kitchen items. You can also install hooks or racks on the sides of the breakfast bar to hang utensils or towels.

By optimising your storage, you can make the most of your kitchen and create a cosy and functional space, without compromising on style.
