Bar height tables are incredibly versatile pieces of furniture that allow for more seating and flexible use of space which make them ideal in just about any home from loft-style apartments to house residences. Bar height tables bring a casual atmosphere to the dining experience and usually stand over 40 inches in height, though there are all types, from small bar tables to very tall bar tables.

Bar height tables are perfect when you’re pressed for space in your dining area. Their streamlined, taller frameworks elevate the overall sight line of a room, giving the aura of more space and transforming open-plan spaces, corners, and transitional areas into a hub for entertainment. Modern bar tables are a great alternative to contemporary décor for your dining areas, and LuxeDecor has a wide selection of styles and sizes to suit any taste preference or space.

Before You Buy

Buying a bar table is a significant investment, and so you want to make sure you get it right. The bar table that is in your home or outside of it should harmonize with the rest of your furniture. It should also comport with your sense of style and taste. The materials, colors, design, size, and overall appearance must be perfect.

Features to Consider

Having a bar table installed will change the look of your home. You want the change to be for the better. To make things come together as you want them to, you should first get a sense of where you will put the table. You should evaluate the dimensions of the space and whether the bar table will be suitable for it.

After this initial assessment, you should consider the following features about the table itself:

1. Shape. The shape of the bar table will have some bearing on how it will look in the space and the number of people who can be seated at it. Round bar tables are good for smaller spaces, as they will not overwhelm the room. They can usually sit two or three people. A rectangular bar table can accommodate more people. With most tables, you will be able to seat at least four people. However, this type of table does take up a great deal of space. Experimental designs are also available, but it can be awkward to find a place that is fitting for them.
2. Materials. You must also consider the materials you want in your table. This will also affect its appearance, as well as the price and maintenance requirements. Bar tables made of synthetic materials such as laminate and melamine wood come in a variety of designs and colors. Tables made of such materials cost less and are easier to care for. They will, however, wear down more quickly. Solid wood tables are a favorite for many homeowners. Oak, beech, pine, and teak are just some of the options available to you. They have a polished and elegant look, and they are sturdy enough to last for years. These tables are sensitive to heat and water and must be carefully maintained if they are to retain their look. You can also go with a tempered glass bar table. They can be aesthetically pleasing, and they are resistant to water and heat. However, they must be dusted regularly, and you must watch out for finger marks. If you want to give your entertainment area a retro look, you can go with a metal bar table. They offer an old-school bistro ambience and are easy to clean.A stone table is also an option. These are heavy, which makes them difficult to move, and relatively  expensive. However, a stone bar table will make a statement, and it will last for a long time.
3. Design Configuration. You should also consider the configuration of the table. Here are a few options:
4. Foldaway. If you do not anticipate using the table that often, you should consider a table that you can fold out when needed and stowed away afterward.
5. Height Adjustable. These tables can be lifted and lowered according to your needs.. You should also consider buying different covers for your bar tables. They can help protect the surface of the table during big parties and other events.

How to Choose Bar Tables

Choosing the bar table that is right for your home can be a challenge. Here are some of the things that you should think through:

1. Durability. If you are planning to live in your current home for quite some time, then you should buy a bar table that will last. The material used in the bar table will largely determine its sturdiness.
2. Warranty. It is unacceptable for you to bring home or have installed a damaged or defective bar table. If you discover such discrepancies after the purchase, you should be able to return the table for a refund or exchange.
3. Price. If you are like most people, you run your house on a budget. Even if you have decided to carry out renovations or decorate a space, there are limits to the amount of money you can spend. You should search diligently for a bar table that is within your budget.

Decorating With Bar Tables in Your Home

The height of high bar tables make them great pieces of furniture to play up the proportions in a room. The taller stature of a bar dining table brings an air of grace, lifting sight lines and elevating the overall look of a space. Standard kitchen tables stand between 28 inches to 30 inches in height, and in cramped or tight spaces, the proportions can weigh down the appearance of a room. Furniture that stands relatively low to the ground leaves a lot of empty space to be filled, but with a glass bar table, you fill up more vertical space which keeps rooms feeling balanced in proportion while best utilizing small areas. Keep things interesting, yet functional, with our wide inventory of bar height tables at LuxeDecor.
