When I bought a new dining table, the ugly bar was not only an ornament, but also an eyesore. Therefore, Bian Xiao is to teach you how to create a good-looking and practical bar.
The bar is called chicken ribs, but the fact is that you don't know what the bar is decorated for, where it should be decorated, what function it can have and what it looks like. As long as these problems are solved, decorating a bar can reach the table that occupies the position, which is simply the gospel of small apartment.
_ If wine bar owners is used for eating and drinking _
Bian Xiao said that the most practical way to decorate a bar is to change the dining table.
▲ Daily kitchen
If you happen to have an open kitchen installed in your home, installing a bar is absolutely perfect. The bar can not only be used as a dining table, but also as a partition between the dining room and the living room.
The above situation is very suitable for families with small living rooms and restaurants.
You think that the apartment itself is not big enough, forcing the next dining table, not only makes the living room feel wronged, but also the comfort of eating disappears. It is better to come directly to the bar, which blurs the area of the restaurant and can also go to the dining area.
At present, Nakajima Bar is not limited to foreign countries, but also very popular in China. The combination of Nakajima bar and open kitchen is so common because of its practicality.
The installation of the bar can play four roles, which can be used as an island in the kitchen, a partition between the dining table, the kitchen and the living room. Another function is called the workbench.
In today's fast-paced life, eating and working are both correct, and the lever with such strong compatibility cannot be moved!
No one stipulates that a bar has only one function, and no one stipulates where you must do what. How about a clean and tidy kitchen as a secondary working space? But Bian Xiao still reminds everyone to pay more attention to their health.
After talking about the open kitchen, in fact, the closed kitchen can also be a bar and be integrated with the kitchen. There is no need to expand the dining room beyond the kitchen. The area of the bar is much smaller than the dining table, but the number of people can be determined by yourself.
The kitchen and the bar are put together, and a simple breakfast can be cooked now.
_ The function of the bar is more practical than the dining table _
The lower part of our dining table is usually hollowed out to reflect the transparency of the restaurant and make it a little more comfortable when eating.
However, bars can usually add storage functions to improve utilization. It's no trouble to add storage space under the bar. Of course, you can empty the bar.
Seeing this, you must feel that the leverage is just needed, but if you don't pay attention, the leverage may really become a chicken rib. So the combination of bar and other functions can prevent the table from becoming useless when you are still planning to start it.
As Bian Xiao said, the bar, not the dining table, is not located next to the kitchen, but contained in it. In addition to being a place for dining, it can also be used as a home for materials and snacks.
Therefore, adding a hanging cabinet above the bar, or making a custom cabinet below the countertop, can make perfect use of the function of the bar.
Not only can snacks be stored, but the bar can also be turned into a real bar. Just set up a wine cabinet and a clothes rack.
_ Need to determine the reinforced foundation _
What kind of bar you want, you must first determine the height of the bar that suits you.
It goes without saying that sitting at a bar that is too high will be uncomfortable, and sitting at a bar that is too short will hurt.
After determining the height of the bar, it is natural to determine the size of the bar table. Bian Xiao believes that the width of the countertop should be between 40-60 cm as far as possible. After all, we are still practical. Most people in our family or just want a mini table, they can make it wider or smaller according to their actual situation.
Ordinary bars certainly conform to the public's aesthetics. You can also buy a lot on Taobao, and you can even move it home ~
The simplest bar is a hollow four-corner column with a countertop, or even two corner columns with a countertop against the wall, which can be installed by any master.
Another kind of bar is a combination of countertops and cabinets. According to the location of your bar, consider whether it is an extension of the cabinet countertop or a private custom-made bar in Zhongdao.
_ What about the director? _
Bars are very similar, because the structure is the same, but the material, decoration and lighting are always different.
_ Bar counter
1, solid wood countertop
Nothing is warmer than a solid wood countertop. Not only is there nothing to say about the face value, but it feels warm and has a good photo effect, making it one of the standard home of online celebrities.
It's a pity that the price of solid wood countertops is on the high side and cracks are inevitable. After all, it is caused by the characteristics of materials. If small pieces of wood are used for splicing, the cracking problem can be solved and the price will be much more affordable.
2. Composite wooden table (fireproof board/particleboard)
Composite wooden countertops can be customized with required wooden patterns. Compared with the whole solid wood, the countertop has many advantages, such as low price and no cracking.
3. Natural stone (marble/granite)
Natural materials tend to crack, and the cracking problem of natural stone is more serious than that of wood. Natural stone looks noble and elegant, and its high price is a disadvantage, but there are still many internal problems. Natural stone has strong ability to hide dirt and accept dirt, is not resistant to corrosion and is not easy to clean. So don't be fooled by appearances!
Others will directly make a hollow bar with marble, which wastes the storage space at the lower part of the bar and is expensive. Bian Xiao doesn't admire this kind of lever construction method ~
4. Artificial stone (resin/aluminum alloy)
There are many shapes and styles of artificial stone countertops and rich colors, but the disadvantage is that they are easy to deform and yellow, and may crack. If you really want to buy artificial stone, you can't be stingy with your money.
5. Quartz stone
Quartz stone countertops are actually artificial countertops, just breaking natural stones first and then stacking them manually.
In this way, the hardness of quartz stone table top can be higher, cracking can be reduced, and it has the advantages of corrosion resistance and moderate price. The only regret is that the appearance is not brilliant. But it is indeed the first choice for ordinary families in recent years.
_ Cabinet under the bar
1, extension of cabinet
As the storage space at the bottom of the bar, the extension of the cabinet is a very common manufacturing method in home construction.
Make effective use of spare cabinets and add a dining table. Bian Xiao can install a bar in the enclosed kitchen mentioned above.
2, island bar customization
Nakajima Bar is to install a large cabinet on the outside of the open kitchen when the countertop is determined. Give play to the role of one pole and four functions.
3. Brick strips
Brick bar is to show that the construction of bar has strong personality and self-control. Brick the base first, then slot the bottom of the table, embed it in the base, and then glue it with a little glue.
Brick bars can be positioned according to the spatial structure.
_ The bar is not beautiful enough. Let's have the lights together _
If bar = restaurant, then the lighting of bar should be as attentive as that of restaurant.
The bar for eating and drinking shows an atmosphere, and the warm light source between 2500-2800k is the easiest to give people a pleasant and relaxed feeling.
If the work and study in the bar are integrated, the lighting will take some thought. Remember that 4000k white light is refreshing and suitable for work. Then a chandelier and several daily lamps are the most suitable.
Tips: It is best to reserve the position of the socket at the bar, and the daily coffee machine and juicer can be used. At work, the computer also needs power ~
Bian Xiao wrote so many questions about the decoration of the bar, but it can't be said that the bar must be just needed at home, and it must be installed. However, all the decoration should consider the apartment type and living habits.
Radish and vegetables have their own tastes. After reading the article, you happen to be a rabbit who likes to eat the bar, so believe me, the bar is definitely a particularly practical place at home.
