What is a bar counter for?
Recently, the bar counter has gained great popularity. This is explained simply. In addition to the fact that it is an interesting design element, the bar counter performs a number of useful functions:
- if you have a large kitchen, then the bar counter helps to divide the space between the cooking area and the dining area, and also helps fill the void in the space of a large kitchen and give it a more modern and aesthetic look;
- if you have a small kitchen, you can use a low bar counter instead of a dining table;
- the bar counter is used as an additional workspace in the kitchen when preparing dishes;
- a folding bar counter will be the most functional element of the interior. If necessary, it can be expanded to create an additional workplace, and vice versa.
Bar counter as an additional workplace
Today, the bar counter is not just a decorative design element. And if the size of the kitchen allows you to complement and diversify the interior with an additional piece of furniture, then you can start choosing bar counters; IKEA bar counters are especially in demand now.
Nuances of choosing ready-made Ikea kitchens: tips for buyers
Three steps to buying a kitchen:
- Make sure IKEA fits. The Swedish company's stores have a large assortment of facades, but not all colors are available. The same applies to sizes. For non-standard premises, furniture from IKEA may simply not be suitable.
- Get inspired by ready-made projects. There are many ideas for kitchen equipment in catalogues, on the website and in stores. You can choose the style, color, and some design features.
- Start planning and finalize the design. Even with a finished project prepared independently, it is worth contacting IKEA employees to check and prepare the order.
After this, all that remains is to order delivery and assemble the new furniture. You can order assembly (+ 7-10% of the cost of the kitchen).
Placement planning
Before you go to the store for an Ikea kitchen, you need to take measurements yourself or with the help of a specialist and choose a layout. For example, the placement of a stove with an extractor hood and a sink is determined by communications. It is advisable to arrange the refrigerator, other equipment and functional areas according to the working triangle rule.
You can focus on ready-made kitchen solutions presented in catalogs, on the website and in stores. It features stylish color combinations, convenient layouts and storage systems with carefully selected accessories. But the options you like need to be compared with the features of your kitchen in terms of area, layout, etc.
Design
There is a free planner on the official IKEA website. To get started, you need to register. After entering the parameters of the room, taking into account projections, communications and sockets, you can begin planning.
First, you should place the sink and large household appliances, then cabinets, storage systems, and decorative elements.
The result will be a finished kitchen model. The price of all added products will be calculated automatically.
Combining styles
The versatility of IKEA furniture lies in the fact that here each piece of furniture fits another element, even if it is from a different model line.
Therefore, if the buyer deems it necessary, he can purchase furniture from two different lines and transform them into something new to achieve the ideal result for decorating the kitchen.
Buyer can mix both styles and colors. All model lines of the best kitchens from IKEA are presented in several colors. Combining styles does not contradict Scandinavian design.
General information about the “Method” modular system
The versatility of IKEA kitchens is determined by the Method modular system. All elements of the set are fully consistent with each other, which allows you to freely plan the space. You can combine cabinets of different colors and sizes according to the design principle.

Style diversity
IKEA is not only Scandinavian style. You can choose open modules with bright inserts, arrange them in a non-standard way, or give preference to natural shades and traditional shapes. There are options for those who are close to the modern approach and minimalism.
All style solutions are united by a common design, so they can be safely combined to create a unique kitchen.
IKEA kitchen color
Scandinavian style most often involves the use of strict colors - black and white, as well as other neutral shades, for example, beige, brown. All colors should be muted.
Since the current trend is for bright accents, designers met customers halfway and added bright colors to the product catalog, such as blue, yellow, and red. The variety of colors makes IKEA kitchen furniture even more versatile.
Color solutions
The IKEA assortment is dominated by kitchens in neutral shades, which harmoniously combine with any interior design. Classic white modules remain popular.
The original new trend was the deep tones of blue and gray. Bright accents and natural shades will help diversify the interior.
White kitchen
“IKEA” offers several options for facades in white: “Budbin” with panels and glass inserts on the upper facades, minimalistic “Overbu”, “Hitarp” with vertical stripes. Such kitchens have not gone out of fashion for several years. If over time you get tired of the laconic design, you can add a few bright accents.
Bright shades: “Budbin”, “Akstad” and “Kallarp”
Those who love bright colors should take a closer look at the “Akstad” series in matte blue, “Kallarp” in red-brown, and “Budbin” in emerald. Deep and rich color can be complemented with calm shades. Such a kitchen will be stylish and impressive.
Natural colors
Natural motifs in the design of IKEA kitchens are represented by walnut, light and dark brown ash, and oak facades. Any line can be complemented with a wood-look countertop.
Metallic
IKEA has modern furniture covered in stainless steel.
The industrial look of such a set will enhance the industrial style of the entire kitchen or add an unexpected twist to an established design.
Advantages and features of IKEA
- certified and high-quality products;
- the ability to independently assemble a headset of the required size for both small and large rooms;
- fast online design from scratch using the website designer;
- beautiful design of classic and modern styles;
- production from MDF coated with high-quality veneer;
- wide range of fastenings;
- mostly standard sizes (the width of the modules is generally 60 cm).
A feature of modern kitchen sets is their typicality, “recognizability”. Mass production of modules based on ready-made designs leads to the fact that most models are very similar in appearance. And the fashion for Scandinavian motifs, minimalism and the popularity of light shades in design leaves no choice at all for those who love multi-colors. What should someone who wants a unique and inimitable interior do? The options may be the following:
1. Alternation of light and contrasting, bright facades.
2. A bright set on a neutral background.
3. Unusual and interesting apron.
4. Creative wall decoration.
5. Colorful decor.
Selection of Ikea kitchen furniture fronts
The modules are produced in series, but are structurally completely consistent with each other. Only the design differs. Based on the external design, you can find the necessary facades and suitable fittings.
Floor-standing cabinet types
Cabinets of the “Method” system have a width of 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 cm, a height of 60, 80, 100, 140, 200, 220 cm. Each module can have from 1 to 8 drawers. In total, more than 16 thousand possible options for placing lockers are offered.
The height of the plastic base is 8 cm (for comparison: in the Faktum system, which was replaced by Method, it is 16 cm). This change made it possible to increase the height of the floor cabinets.
For built-in appliances
Modules for built-in appliances have standard sizes. Many cabinets are equipped with additional compartments (drawers, open shelves) for storing dishes and kitchen utensils.
A special module with a metal ventilation grille is available for the oven.
Hanging
Wall-mounted modules are available in different sizes. Width varies from 20 to 80+ cm, height - 40, 60, 80 or 100 cm, depth - 37, 38, 39 or 40 cm (the deepest are corner and modules that are placed above the refrigerator).
There are cabinets with shelves and drawers, blank fronts and frosted or clear glass inserts.
Front panel types
The range includes front panels that will help you discreetly place all household appliances. Behind the facades, which correspond to the choice of doors of the lower and upper sections, you can hide a dishwasher, microwave oven or refrigerator.
Locker doors
Doors and front panels are made of MDF using frameless technology. There are models with a flat, smooth surface, with panels, glossy or matte. The same shelves and drawers can be equipped with different doors.
Jet black
It's no secret that many men simply love to cook. For such culinary enthusiasts, IKEA offers a kitchen in a brutal, black design. A comfortable work desk with a solid wood-colored top combined with charcoal-black drawer fronts looks masculine and stylish.
In order not to unnecessarily overload the space, IKEA advises combining the dark bottom of the floor tables from the Lerhüttan Method line with natural wood of the Tutemo open wall shelves.
Manufacturing materials
Kitchen cabinets and countertops are made from chipboard, fiberboard, MDF, and solid wood.
Fiberboard is wood shavings and sawdust pressed under pressure and at high temperatures.
The facades are covered with melamine film, plastic edging, and the interior surfaces of the cabinets are acrylic or polyester paint. Glass is produced using tempering technology.
What is a bar counter for a kitchen?
Bar counters are made from a variety of materials: chipboard, wood, metal, tiles, stone and sometimes even glass. IKEA kitchen furniture is made from environmentally friendly materials that are highly durable and resistant to moisture: chipboard, MDF. The optimal parameters for a classic bar counter are about 105-115 cm in height; in small kitchens their height is usually 90-100 cm. The bar counter will not have a beautiful and complete look if there are not properly selected chairs nearby. The height of the chairs should be about 65-70 cm.
Ikea - a unique style of bar counters
The counter can also be supplemented with bar accessories, such as hanging glasses, additional lighting, and chrome parts. At the same time, it is not necessary to use the stand only for alcoholic drinks; a coffee maker or juicer would look quite harmonious on the stand. In some cases, instead of lighting, you can use hanging lamps, which will give the kitchen a special coziness and elegance.
Wide bar counter
A classic counter is a great addition to the kitchen interior, but it requires significant free space.
Layout options
The layout depends on the characteristics of the room. For example, if the room is a walk-through, a good option is parallel placement, and in a spacious room you can make a full-fledged island with a hob or sink.
L-shaped or corner kitchen
The angular placement of cabinets optimizes the workspace so that it is comfortable for several people to be in it at once. If you place an L-shaped kitchen correctly, you will get a triangle with full-fledged functional areas (storage, cooking, washing), between which it is convenient to move.
U-shaped
This type of layout allows you to make maximum use of space, increase the storage area and the number of cabinets for built-in household appliances.
U-shaped placement is suitable only for spacious rooms.
But to make it comfortable to cook in the kitchen, the distance between the units should not exceed 2.5 m.
Linear
A linear set is a convenient (and sometimes the only possible) option for planning small rooms. To make the most of the space, you should choose a folding or folding table, which most of the time can serve as a shelving unit, and use folding chairs.
To make it convenient to cook in the kitchen, it is necessary to delimit functional zones:
- storage (lockers, refrigerator);
- cooking (stove, work surfaces);
- washing (wash, dryer).
There should be 40-60 cm of free space between the refrigerator, hob and sink, i.e. 1 full work surface.
Island and peninsular
In a spacious room, an island with a hob or sink is often installed. This is convenient, but difficulties may arise with connecting communications and connecting equipment. With a peninsula layout, which is also suitable for small rooms, a bar counter can become an additional area.
The optimal length of the island is 120-160 cm. These are 2-3 square modules connected by one tabletop.
Double row
For elongated rooms (especially if the door and window are located opposite each other or the room is a passageway), a double-row arrangement of cabinets is suitable. It is better to maintain a distance between rows of 1.5 m. At 1.2 m, opening cabinets and cooking may be difficult if there are several people in the kitchen.
To make the space as comfortable as possible, it is worth placing a refrigerator and work area on one side, and a stove and sink on the other.
Parallel layout
A parallel layout involves the arrangement of lockers in 2 rows (as well as a two-row or two-line). In such a kitchen, an important task is to accommodate the dining group. One row can be made shorter, and the free space can be used to install a folding tabletop and folding chairs.
This island is inhabited
In general, the idea of installing a separate “island” is not new. It appealed to people who like to experiment in the kitchen and at the same time communicate with loved ones. After all, with this arrangement, the cook should not spend most of his time with his back to those for whom he is cooking.
Fashionable IKEA kitchens offer a combination of the Åskersund Method storage combination with the Kungsfors open shelving system. The first is a free-standing high table with drawers in which you can store cereals or pasta, as well as fruits and vegetables.
The ability to embed a sink or cooktop into it turns it into a full-fledged kitchen island. And you can taste a new dish right here, sitting comfortably on high bar stools with a back “Ingvar” or round “Dalfred”.
The Kungfors storage system is capable of occupying the entire wall space from floor to ceiling, offering to place cooking utensils, plates, containers for bulk products, seasonings and all kinds of kitchen utensils on numerous open shelves and rails.
Ikea kitchen range
At IKEA you can find ready-made solutions, modular systems, mini-kitchens. The “Method” system will allow you to plan the location of functional areas depending on the buyer’s personal preferences and needs. Any facades available are simply selected for ready-made frames.

“Budbin”
One of the most popular series is suitable for interiors in the Scandinavian neoclassical style, as well as Provence or country. Kitchens “Budbin” are presented in warm white, dark green, and classic gray. All types of countertops are combined with sets in different colors.
"Dalarna"
“Dalarna” modules look similar to “Budbin” furniture and are available in white, black and brown colors. This series is more expensive due to the material used (“Dalarna” is made of solid birch, “Budbin” is made of chipboard, fiberboard).
“Ekestad”
The series is distinguished by its natural design. Blind facades with a thin frame and a solid wood body are made in a natural color (light oak). The upper modules can be equipped with doors with frosted glass inserts.
"Yutis"
The “Yutis” series are facades for wall cabinets with transparent or smoky glass. There are no lower modules; they need to be combined with other solutions (with blank facades).
“Lidingo”
After changing the modular system “Faktum” to “Method”, “Lidingo” kitchens are no longer available for order. The facades are made in shaded white, the lower ones have panels, the upper ones have panels or glass inserts.
“Lerhyttan”
If you need a kitchen in a traditional style, you should choose modules from the Lerhüttan series. Straight lines and clear frames of the front panels make the interior laconic and stylish. Available front colors are light gray and black.
“Knoxhult”
Knoxhult kitchens are sold as a set. There are solutions with linear or L-shaped furniture arrangement, options for small-sized rooms or non-standard layouts (for example, miniature sets of 1.2 m, corner sets of 1.2x1.8 m).

“Vokstorp”

- white or black steel frame;
- countertop and sink made of stainless steel;
- open storage system
Sunnersta furniture is suitable for small spaces and limited budgets. Such furniture is easy to disassemble when moving, and can be used temporarily during renovations or in a rented apartment.
“Kallarp”
The facades of the “Kallarp” series are manufactured in a glossy red-brown color. This type of furniture goes better with a black-brown cabinet frame and the same countertops. Oak tables look good with the “Kallarp” series.
“Askersund”
Askersund panels are the most budget-friendly in the IKEA range of modular kitchens. The facades are made in natural shades, combined with matte white. They can be ordered to replace familiar doors to make inexpensive cosmetic repairs.
“Torhamn”
Doors for cabinets and drawers “Torhamn” are wooden (ash), untreated. Glass doors are available for the upper modules. Such facades can emphasize the rustic style of the kitchen.
“Overbu”
Overbu cabinets can no longer be found in IKEA stores - the furniture has been discontinued. Those who managed to purchase before the change from Faktum to Method could choose from the following modules:
- floor cabinets: single door with niche; with drawer and niche;
- wall mounted: with one door; with door and niche.
The body is made in white, the facades are solid beige. There are no glass doors or other shade options.

Kitchen design 2022 from IKEA
IKEA continues to follow northern traditions in interior design. Scandinavian style this time appears in a new format. This was conceived by the designers so that the Scandinavian style would not be so narrow, and they took many of its directions into account when creating the new IKEA kitchen catalog for 2022.
The store's assortment now includes many new ideas for kitchen design. Many of them are very popular with customers, and the most relevant ones will be discussed.
Frame facades
This year frame facades are trending. These are common and universal facades for any interior due to many reasons.
Furniture made from frames is distinguished by its service life. Since furniture with frames is created from many parts, they are easily replaced, which will allow it to maintain its durability.
Since the designers have taken into account the varying tastes of customers, they provide them with the opportunity to choose a material that will be suitable for any required design.
Smooth facades
Gloss fits perfectly into modern trends such as high-tech and modern, which welcome minimalism and the absence of unnecessary details, such as framed facades.
Gloss is also suitable for small kitchens, as it visually expands the space. The gloss is easy to care for - dirt does not remain on the gloss and is easily washed off with a regular rag.
Matte furniture is for special connoisseurs of minimalism and the absence of unnecessary accents. Matte materials will add rigor and a sense of style to the room. Matte furniture has a huge advantage - it does not show handprints, scratches or other visible defects.
Internal equipment: appliances and plumbing
Internal elements allow you to make the kitchen comfortable and hide the contents. Behind the facades you can use:
- retractable modules;
- waste sorting solutions;
- additional inserts in the shelves;
- organizers, trays, dividers;
- internal drawers, which are located behind external doors.
In addition to modules and contents (from storage accessories to textiles, dishes), you can purchase plumbing fixtures and built-in appliances on site. Peculiarities:
- all faucets sold at IKEA are equipped with an aerator that reduces water consumption by 40% without reducing pressure;
- stainless steel sinks are made from almost 60% recycled material;
- household appliances are purchased from reliable suppliers; the entire range is covered by a 5-year warranty.
Why are IKEA bar counters so popular?
Those who want to give their kitchen with a small area a fashionable modern style can install a bar counter in the room.
The Swedish brand IKEA is familiar to many first-hand. The manufacturer’s assortment is quite wide, and you can purchase not only home furniture, but also textiles, dishes and various accessories for decorating a beautiful interior. IKEA bar counters, as indeed all products from this manufacturer, are distinguished by accessibility, functionality, quality and convenience, and, in the end, they are simply stylish and beautiful. And what’s important is that with an IKEA bar counter you can make the most of the space of even the smallest room.
For small-sized apartments, a stand is perfect, which is a small, slightly elongated tabletop without legs, like a regular table. You can match it with both chairs with an unusual design and bar-type chairs.
The bar counter divides the space of the room
In any case, there are currently many bar counters from various Russian, Belarusian and foreign manufacturers. All racks are distinguished by interesting color schemes, original design and style. The main thing is to choose the most suitable option for your kitchen.
Price overview
“IKEA” is good quality at an attractive price. The cost of ready-made kitchens with a standard layout is 12,989-31,289 rubles. If the standard “Knoxhulta” is not suitable, you can assemble the required set from individual modules and facades. The price of frames is from 1000 rubles. for a small wall cabinet up to 7,000 rubles. for the section of Vadholm boxes.
Facades cost from 500 rubles. (door 20x80 cm, “Häggebi”) up to 10,500 rub. (door 60x200 cm, “Ekestad”).
Island for a small kitchen: placement features
Even in a small space of 15-20 square meters. rationally arrange a small kitchen island. For example, it can serve as both a dining table and a work surface.
Transforming systems and retractable tabletops are suitable. You will also need additional useful space under the island countertop.
For a small room, a peninsula kitchen option is acceptable, which looks like a natural extension of the work area. As a rule, a peninsula in a small room is multifunctional. It can serve as a continuation of the work surface and at the same time act as a bar counter or dining table.
Allowable passages and clearances
Once you have decided that you want to equip your kitchen with an island table, you need to decide what size it should be? A passage width of 92 cm and a gap of 107 cm between the table and the door are allowed.
A good place for an island is in the center of the kitchen, or in an L-shape relative to the cabinetry if the kitchen is not limited by walls.
While the standard width of 92 cm allows two people to separate, it can be reduced to 80 cm, provided that only one person can pass. Draw a kitchen plan in advance according to scale and see if the table will fit. Check the drawing and make appropriate adjustments.
If you couldn't meet the necessary requirements, then consider a table that can be hidden, rolled away or unfolded. You don't need to have it specially made to order. There are many great ideas for installing an island table even in very cramped spaces.
Disadvantages of shopping at IKEA
IKEA is not without its shortcomings. Despite the assortment of facades, the kitchens turn out to be of the same type. Ways to avoid this:
- refuse replicated accessories;
- choose a limited edition;
- order an individual project;
- shift the emphasis from furniture to an apron, appliances or decor;
- experiment with a combination of different lines.
Due to mass production, furniture is sold in standard sizes, which may be too large for kitchens in standard apartment buildings. This disadvantage cannot be called relative: although it is possible to make the design unique, then ordering a smaller cabinet will not work.
What kind of kitchens does IKEA have and what equipment do they have?
In general, all brand kitchens are divided into ready-made and modular. In the first case, everything is already collected, all you have to do is pay, bring it home and assemble it. On the one hand, this is simple, on the other hand, it does not take into account the characteristics of your apartment and the needs of your household.
You assemble a modular kitchen yourself or with the help of a consultant (we strongly recommend using the help of a professional) from many drawers. This takes into account the size of the room, all your desires and needs. During the development of the project, the kitchen can be immediately supplemented with built-in appliances by assembling a turnkey set.

Where do we place the finished bar?
Introductory word: it is preferable to buy bar tables and chairs as a set to avoid differences in the heights of the table and chairs.
Therefore, when zoning rooms using this option, keep in mind the principle of variable height - designer bar stools are selected for a specific counter height.
Now an idea for cooks. If you like to cook, then choose a two-level model and place the necessary equipment on the inside. Thus, the inner side is hidden from prying eyes - it is pleasant to cook on it, because its height is exactly what it is designed for. And guests sitting “at the bar” will not be distracted by the chef’s manipulations while cooking. By the way, the IKEA bar stool in its variations will fit any counter design.
What do customers say in their reviews?
Many models have long gained popularity among buyers, and there are already many reviews on forums and review sites.
Let's see what ratings were given to the most budget and popular options.
- "Stig."
- Franklin"
- "Ingolf".
- Henkriksdal"
In general, it can be noted that the main advantages that buyers highlight are price, simple assembly, reliable design, and a comfortable seat.
Among the shortcomings noted were creaking (in wooden models, in particular Ingolf), abrasion of the epoxy coating in plastic products during active use. To minimize the risk of damaging furniture, it is necessary to purchase accessories for it (covers, pillows), as well as ensure proper care.
