It`s now evident that the bar stools and tables have moved out of the bar, and now can be seen in both the residential and commercial units. Currently, more kitchens and dining halls in the contemporary homes are incorporating rustic themed décor. One of the most popular rustic décors is the rustic bar table. The rustic table creates an inviting space in any home and presents a country-like feel in any room.
The table is a great addition to any bar theme, whether Western themed or Lodge style bar. Apart from the traditional feel, a rustic table is a great way to add a touch of style, originality, and interest to any décor.
Just like any other table in the house, the breakfast bar table should not only be comfortable; it should also be pragmatic, and appealing. It`s also important to ensure the table sits comfortably in any space. Ideally, ensure that there`s a 9 to a 13-inch distance between the bar table and bar stool for a comfy sit. Also, ensure that the table is neither too high nor too low; if it`s too high, it will tower over the stool, and if too low, one will have to get drinks far below. Either way, it will not be comfortable.
Below are tips that one should consider when choosing a bar table.
Material
With a wide range of wood and finish options, one can give the bar space an entirely fresh look and make their bar come to life in a picturesque manner. Some of the popular wood choices include cedar, pine, oak, maple, hickory, take and rosewood. One can also make the table more unique by using the reclaimed wood, which is equally good and at times even better than the normal wood. Additionally, with its durability and aestheticism, one is guaranteed of a unique piece.
Height
There`re different rustic bar table heights that one can choose from. As a rule of thumb, however, the bar stool height should never be higher than the bar table height. Ideally, the conventional table height or the “gathering height” sits at 40-42” inch high and requires a 28-30” inch stool.
However, more improvements can be made by the suggestion of a professional craftsman who is responsible for constructing your tables. Also, if one opted to customize his table, the measurements may vary greatly.
Shape and Size
Bar tables come in different shapes and sizes. If one is limited on space, a round table is an awesome option, since it consumes less square footage compared to a square table with the same diameter.
Design
Although the name rustic is synonymous with plain, simple and mundane, it does not mean that it lacks versatility. There`s an array of exciting rustic table designs to choose from.
Because the bar is where most of the people spend unwinding, it`s prudent that we choose the right rustic bar table for maximum comfort.
