Twilight, drinks, light music are the first things with which the concept of “bar counter” is associated, but now we can say with complete confidence that bar counters in an apartment are common. This previously utilitarian design item in a modern home acquires versatility, and the variety of designs offered by modern manufacturers is a sure guarantee that the bar counter will find a place in any apartment.
Bar counter in the interior
It can be considered erroneous to believe that bar counters are an advantage of the interiors of cottages, private houses and simply spacious apartments. The bar counter will fit perfectly in a one-room apartment, and its ergonomics guarantee that along with the bar you will also provide yourself with a kitchen surface, a dining table, food storage and a space zoning element.
If you are the owner of a one-room apartment with a small kitchen, then it would be a good idea to purchase a compact and narrow bar counter with a cornice that serves as a mezzanine. This option is a great space saver, and the surface of the counter itself can be used both for cooking and for eating your favorite dishes. Place the bar counter in the form of an extension that articulates with the work surface, or make a wall-mounted option that will blend perfectly with the entire kitchen set.
A bar counter in the interior of a spacious home does not have to be multifunctional; it is rather a unique design element, quite exotic and at the same time classic. If you like to treat your guests to drinks prepared in front of them or simply collect good alcohol, then the bar counter will fit perfectly into your interior.

Living room design with a bar counter
The living room is an ideal place for a bar counter, since here the main character of our article is in the spotlight, fulfilling only its intended purpose. The design of a hall with a bar counter is more varied than in the case of other rooms, since the hall is the central object of the home and its decoration is not limited by functionality, it is simply a place to relax, into which, in fact, anything can fit, including your own bar.
The size of the bar counter depends on the size of the living space and the collection of alcohol that you want to place in it. A small, prefabricated bar counter can be made of plasterboard and decorated with a laminated coating – such a counter can be used only when necessary, and the rest of the time it is stored assembled. A non-stationary bar counter usually has an island structure, that is, it stands alone in the room; it can be well decorated with lighting and the façade made of beautiful wood or metal (depending on the overall style of the interior).
The interior of a living room with a bar counter is usually built not around it, but with its help, however, if desired, the counter can be contrasted with color or the texture of the material. However, you should not combine color, lighting and texture, it may look ridiculous.

A bar counter in a studio apartment is usually used to separate the kitchen and dining or living areas. The design of the bar counter in this case should match the color and texture of the materials from which the kitchen furniture is made. Such a counter can look like a continuation of the tabletop, or as a detached structure intended for dispensing and eating ready-made dishes. The space under the counter can be hollow – this will give the kitchen structure lightness, or equipped with shelves if the kitchen space is small and needs to be used as much as possible.
