Kitchen counters in an open kitchen or a small bar at home look extremely modern and attractive. The room looks much more inviting and gives the impression that the homeowner is particularly open and enjoys receiving guests. Stools and a narrow, high table become a good alternative to the classic dining table and save space. You could build a narrow bar counter yourself and set up a small bar in your apartment with drinks and beautiful glasses.
A cool idea is to assemble a structure out of old cabinets or shelves and place a beautiful representative panel on top. Two Billy shelves are placed at a distance from each other and a new wooden board is attached to them. In between there is a refrigerator for drinks and ice cream, and there is space for glasses and bottles on the shelves. Beautiful pendant lights with pleasant, not too strong light are placed over the counter. The outer, visible side is covered with beautiful wooden boards that fit well with the top.
Ikea furniture is not only easy to assemble without having to be an experienced craftsman, but it can also be combined and used in other ways. Beautifully decorated and arranged in an ensemble, the mass-produced furniture looks completely different and surprisingly individual.
You can easily build a small wooden counter yourself with little patience and craftsmanship. Check out the country house style instructions, as well as several great examples and inspiring ideas in the photo gallery.
