We are sure that if you are in the process of constructing or remodeling your home, this question has arisen: Kitchen island or bar? Well let us tell you that both options are good and combined they are even better.
Island of cooking
The island is a freestanding surface generally in the center of the kitchen., around which the rest of the furniture is distributed. It does not touch or stick to any other countertop or wall.
Adds high functionality to the kitchen both for storage and as an extra work area. You can add stoves, ovens, sinks and almost anything else you can think of. You can also add stools to serve as a dining room, however, this addition has its pros and cons. Obviously you gain an extra place to eat, but it may not be comfortable in the long run, since there is no appropriate space to store the seats and extend your legs.
Kitchen bar
A kitchen bar is similar in concept to the island, as it adds extra functional space. The main difference with the island is that it attaches to the existing countertop or comes out of a wall, so you have a maximum of three sides to use. There is much more space for original and modern bar seats that give a chic touch to your kitchen.
