Accommodation Bar rack on the balcony has already ceased to be something extravagant and rare. But to say that such an interior solution is outdated, too, it is also impossible. There are at least a few reasons for the arrangement of the balcony bar, and they can be enough to seriously light up this idea.
Plus / minus
Start considering this topic fairly with the transfer of all the advantages and minuses of such a transformation of the balcony space. If the apartment already has a bar counter, the duplication of the topic is not necessary, but in the case of an empty balcony with a beautiful panoramic glazing, the idea is acquiring special interest. It is worth clarifying what is specifically meant by the concept of "Bar Stand".
If it is a design instead of a balcony block, meaning one, if it is a tabletop, fixed from glazing on the balcony, on the reverse side of the facade is completely different. And both options are acceptable.
More often, the rack is organized from the window sill on the balcony or loggia. And this happens if the owners decide to combine the space of the balcony and the room.
Pros organization racks:
- The possibility of combining the kitchen and balcony at the expense of the countertop (saving space - unambiguous plus);
- laying on the design of the table functions (if the kitchen is not the biggest, it is convenient);
- Additional features that can perform a rack (minibar, for example);
- Not the most expensive way to transform kitchen space.
Disadvantages are very conditional. Repair is a dusty process, costly and forces, and money, although not the biggest, still needed. In addition, a classic bar rack at the intersection of the room and a small balcony may look like a few cumbersome.
In this case, you can make a mini-projection of this design directly on the balcony. And plus such a solution is that the balcony or loggia can be adjusted not to the kitchen, but to any other room.
Where to install?
First of all, the owners think about the design project. It helps the most competently organize space, given all its shortcomings and advantages, functionality and comfort. What options are:
- Stand instead of the balcony block itself;
- on the site of the windowsill;
- on an empty space on the closed / open balcony;
- On the balcony wall.
If the loggia is insulated, and the owners make a combined room in order to increase the prayer, then The rack is most often placed on the site of the balcony block. This usually happens in the kitchen, but it may be such an option in the living room. In this case The rack is drawn up for a minibar, for example.
What makes a rack?
Options used materials a lot Most preferred can be called wood. An array is an eco-friendly product, which does not affect the negative side on human health. If you correctly care for such a rack, there will be no stains and other deformations. Other materials:
- Chipboard - alternative wood, material with lower cost;
- Metal - not all interior styles are suitable, but High Tech, Techno, Loft will quite "agree" with such a decision;
- Acrylic - the material is good because it is very compliant with changes, can take any forms;
- Stone (natural, artificial) looks majestically, bright, stylish, but such a design is a lot;
- Glass is a spectacular appearance, but there are some risks in operation (in particular, if there are small children).
By the way, Interesting can be projects of a double-sided bar counter. This is the case when the design is how the remaining part of the balcony block goes into two sides. And, for example, from the side of the room, the rack can be from the chipboard, and from the side of the balcony - from another material. Or the color decision may vary.
Chairs must go to the rack. In this sense, the main thing is to keep the stylistry. A bright transparent chairs in the Pop Art Rack, made in Ar Deco. Or modest typical bar chairs with an upholstery of the leatherette breaks up the aesthetics of the booho style created by you.
How to decorate?
Bar rack itself is just practical. Even if she perfectly fit into the interior, as the furniture she could look inappropriate without an extra decor. That's why From the rack and do a minibar with various carousers, railings, structures for glasses and shakers, etc.

You can decorate the rack by plants, and the more exotic they are, the more interesting the composition will turn out. If the rack is located directly on the balcony, and the tabletop occupies actually the entire length of the balcony space, leave there a little space for the wine cabinet.
It can be constructed independently with the help of standard building billets.
Bar rack on the balcony is quite capable of being a multifunctional thing. If the width of the table top allows, then at the right moment it can turn into a working console on which you can put a computer and work a little behind it. In the evenings, romantic candlesticks can be put on the rack, it is beautiful to serve a worktop and arrange dinner "for two".
