A breakfast bar is one of those things that everyone dreams of having in their kitchen, but they never seem to get. You may have debated the idea of a breakfast bar for years, but certain things have held you back. If you're looking to be convinced, here are four reasons a breakfast bar is a must for your kitchen space.
It adds to the décor
An obvious place to start, but a breakfast bar most certainly adds to the décor and interior design of your kitchen. It adds more substance to the kitchen space, making the whole place look more complete and pretty. Plus, it can help bring out other elements of the kitchen design as well.
Provides more practicality
Secondly, a breakfast bar isn't just for show; it provides more practicality as well. With one of these, you can get a set of stools, pull up a seat, and have somewhere to eat and drink. It's an easy place to have your breakfast, lunch or dinner every single day. If you have guests around your house, the breakfast bar is the perfect place for everyone to congregate and chat.
Can help you save space in open-plan living
Naturally, you will argue that adding a breakfast bar is the exact definition of taking up space in your kitchen. Technically true, but it can actually save space in some situations. If you have an open-plan kitchen that leads to your living area, you may struggle to find space for a proper dining table. Here, a breakfast bar is a perfect solution. It's not as large as a dining table, so it can save space in the open-plan living area. It can help set a physical boundary between the kitchen and the living room.
There are so many styles
The breakfast bar doesn't have a large massive marble counter that sits in the middle of your kitchen. There are many different styles of breakfast bars that are compact for smaller areas, as well as some that are attached to the wall. The possibilities are endless, giving you a style to choose that's perfect for your home.
Big kitchens will enjoy the practical and style elements of a breakfast bar, but small ones can enjoy them too while adding a stylish element to the kitchen décor.

We absolutely love our breakfast bar! We have stools on one side and lots of storage inside. The kids and my husband usually eat breakfast there, as well as lunches on the weekends. We play games there, and do homework there too - it's a great spot for the kids to work on homework while we're preparing dinner, doing dishes etc so that they're right nearby if they have any questions or need any help. It's such a useful area for us.
