Looking to add more substance to your kitchen without having to completely pull everything out? A breakfast bar is the perfect option! Adding a breakfast bar or island is often not too expensive and can provide a new element to your kitchen that you didn’t know was missing. The kitchen is often the area where everyone in the home gravitates too so making it as functional is possible is always a good idea. The options shown in this posting are designed to not only add on to the dinner or cooking experience but also are perfect if you are just looking for a place to quickly snack! 

Adding a breakfast bar will help you benefit largely in the long run. It adds space to entertain and gives you more counter space. In this blog post our experts won’t give you the blueprint on how to create a breakfast bar due to every kitchen being different and hurdles you may face. What we can provide you with is to take inspiration from what you already have in your kitchen. If you have a table that you really love to go with your countertops use that as a starting point in terms of the design you want to emulate. These small islands or breakfast bars can provide you with additional storage, eating space, or elegance.

Extension Bar - Extension bars are often just wooden pieces that are pieced into the wall that extend out to create a bar element. This option is perfect if you are really looking to go down the DIY route and create something unique to your home. Whether you choose to stain or leave the timber in its natural state this is one of our favorites simply for the versatility it offers you. They are relatively easy to install and cheap considering how much work you will have to put into it. 

Island Extension - These are perfect ways for you to add on to your kitchen if you already have an island or breakfast bar in your home. They are designed to add storage but also add to the functionality and fun of your kitchen! If you know you are having guests over or a big dinner and think you will need the extra counter space this is the best option. They come in varying colors, styles, and sizes so we are sure that you can find the perfect combination to fit into your current aesthetic.

Lastly this option is much less time consuming and still provides you with the functionality that most of the others bring to the table. Often you can purchase these at your general furniture store or online using options like Amazon! Unlike the other options you just have to assemble when they arrive. What makes it unique is the price point being lower in many cases. They are slightly larger than an island extension so they provide more dependability when called upon. Most of the options come with wheels so you can move them around your kitchen and have the ability to wheel it out if you need it for a social gathering! Now this choice is not as elegant as the others or may not flow as effortlessly in your aesthetic but it is cheaper and you can remove it on a whim if you wanted to.
