What should be the height of a bar counter in order to make it functional and comfortable for customers to relax? We try to answer this question exhaustively.

The subject of the size of a bar counter is starting to be particularly debated also in terms of furnishing domestic spaces. Are there standard sizes for the bar counter? How to adjust the height of the bar counter? These are just some of the many questions that users are asking themselves and to which we will try to answer with clarity.

The aim of this article is to guide you and provide you with all the information you need to answer the above questions and choose the ideal dimensions for a bar counter, so that they are proportionate to the height of the stools that will be placed next to the bar counter.

Measures and bar counter height

With regard to the measurements and in particular the height of a bar counter, we begin by giving you some indications so that you can understand the space required for the layout of a snack counter or bar counter in your room, or in your kitchen or living space.

A bar counter is generally characterised by a height of around 105 centimetres; for this reason it is advisable that the stools that are arranged adjacent to the counter have a height of around 75, 80 centimetres. It should also be specified that the distance between the stool and the bar counter must be at least 30 centimetres. In this way it is possible to allow easier movement of the legs of the person sitting on the stool: if the person wants to sit overlapping his or her legs, at this distance he or she is able to do so with maximum comfort and without space limitations.

Island or peninsula bar counter?

Once you have defined the height that should characterise the bar table top you are about to purchase, you can choose between an island or peninsula bar counter.

The decision of the type of bar counter to choose is mainly linked to the spaces we have available in our premises or in our domestic environments. For example, in a relatively large environment characterised by long and narrow dimensions, it is possible to set up a long bar counter that does not lean on any other type of floor and an island that offers us the possibility of accommodating a larger number of people.

The bar counter with peninsula, on the other hand, is advisable in more restricted furnishing contexts. This solution allows us not to give up the bar counter and in a homely context allows us to concentrate all the activities in a single corner of the kitchen, which develops respectively from the peninsula to the cooker, so as to create a more intimate environment.

In order not to give up style in furnishing contexts characterized by particularly limited spaces, it is important to study the right solution. Most people do not have the possibility to have a particularly large and square-shaped environment in their own rooms, able to be used as a kitchen.

Italian houses, especially in the big cities of our country, are characterised by relatively limited dimensions. Often and willingly in big cities we come across long and narrow flats.

So how do you choose the kitchen bar in these cases? We absolutely must not demoralise ourselves, since today it is possible to overcome the problem with ad hoc solutions. For example, we can decide to buy and set up a small peninsula in our rooms that can be used as a bar counter.

In many cases, the inclusion of furniture that is, so to speak, "discordant" with the lines of our environments is able to give rise to a movement in the architectural style of a room or house, giving overall liveliness and liveliness to the environment.

Bar counter fitting

The setting up of a bar counter represents a phase of fundamental importance for the furnishing of commercial activity spaces. Bars are probably the most widespread accommodation facilities in our country, in which a large number of people pour into every day.

The focal point of a bar's activity is undoubtedly the counter. The bar counter's workspace is both a barman's workplace and a meeting point for patrons and customers.

A bar counter must first of all be aesthetically beautiful, made of resistant materials that contrast with its deterioration and capable of expressing stylistic lines in harmony with the furnishing context in which the counter is located.

The dimensions of the bar counter (and in particular its length) may vary according to the size of the room and in reference to other factors. Height and depth have instead standard numbers, generally varying from 105 to 120 centimetres for the height, so as to allow a comfortable use by customers. As for the depth, it varies from 25 to 50 centimetres respectively.

Another fundamental aspect that must be proper of a bar counter is its cleanability; in this regard we can affirm that stainless steel certainly represents the best material used for the production of quality bar counters. This material is in fact extremely resistant, washable and disinfectable with extreme ease.

Also the use of brushed steel for the production of bar counters is certainly a quality choice. Sometimes stain-resistant steels are also used for the production of these furnishings, even if they are definitely more expensive.

Equipment of a bar counter

Among the equipment of a bar counter there must be a sink on the work area, equipped with hot and cold water emission.

There must also be a system for washing glasses, cups and dishes. A high quality bar counter is also equipped with refrigeration compartments and places where dishes can be placed. All the shelves located in the back counter area must be made with the help of easily washable and disinfectable materials.

Finally, another important equipment for a bar counter is the refrigerated display case for the display of food, whether sweet or savoury.
