Kitchen Cabinets Building A Breakfast Bar

Diy breakfast bar cabinet.

Kitchen cabinets building a breakfast bar. As you can see in this photo i have access to the first half of the shelves in my breakfast bar from the front. A typical breakfast bar counter has a standard height of 42 inches 107 centimeters and a depth countertop overhang of 12 to 16 inches 30 to 40 centimeters. A breakfast bar is either a full kitchen island or a countertop overhang with a height that has enough room for the legs and a size that can accommodate ample room for meals. The lack of base cabinets gives the room a feeling of flow.

If they are shorter you could consider having a shorter bar or custom building bar height cabinets if you have your heart set on making a bar out of kitchen cabinets. The countertop here is extended from the kitchen cabinets to form a floating peninsula breakfast bar. A standard bar height is 42 inches. Now if you re building a breakfast bar off of an island or out from a blank side of your lower cabinets things can get a little complex.

The easiest thing to do would be to find one or two matching cabinets and use those for the base of the bar.
