Buy bar furniture from IKEA  

Build a comfortable nook or fully formed bar area in your home with IKEA's smart and stylish range of bar furniture. Even if you're chilling with a drink or having friends over to entertain, the right bar table for home and well-coordinated bar seating can make it easy to assemble your home bar. Our adaptable designs will work in homes of all sizes, whether a small apartment or a large villa, as they seamlessly combine form and function.

How to choose the right bar furniture for your space

Selecting the best bar furniture for home balances style, comfort, and space. Whether creating a more minimalist breakfast bar or considering a large area for entertaining, here's how to decide.

• Understand your layout and needs

Start by assessing your space. A smaller kitchen may require compact bar tables; open layouts could take tall islands or larger bar seating. Consider modular styles that can adapt to seasonal needs, too.

• Select the right height

Bar stools and tables usually have two heights - counter and bar. Ensure your table height is appropriate for the seating, and leave 25–30 cm of leg space to remain comfortable.

• Look for smart features

Choose bar furniture with storage features, swivel functions, and/or footrests. These features can enhance comfort and usability, particularly in smaller spaces or frequently used furniture.

• Think about seating capacity

Select bar tops that accommodate your household, along with your entertaining requirements. A two-seat option is easily usable for couples, and if you need to entertain guests, invest in an extending option.

With IKEA, you’ll always find bar furniture that fits your lifestyle—whether you’re creating a home bar nook or elevating your breakfast counter.

Styling tips for your bar furniture

A well-designed bar area will add character to your kitchen or dining area. Consider these décor tips to maximise your bar furniture arrangement.

• Add contrast with materials

Mix wood bar tables with metal stools or the opposite, to create contrast and interest. IKEA’s bar options can provide ingredients to play around with textures.

• Use lighting to elevate the mood

Use pendant lighting to create a cosy, pub feel. Use warm tones to complement wood or matte finishes.

• Bring in functional decor

Bar trays, urban organisers, and any indoor plants will enhance your bar furniture while keeping it in better-than-average order. IKEA’s kitchen accessories have a good range for this.

• Use wall space creatively

The possibilities are endless with open shelves, wall wine racks, or artwork above your bar furniture arrangement; you can transform your bar furniture for home into a statement corner.

What materials are used to make bar furniture at IKEA?

IKEA bar furniture uses durable and sustainably sourced materials for durability and safety. Here is a brief overview of what you will find:

• Solid and engineered wood

Many bar tables and stools have a solid hardwood or engineered wood top for durability. They are treated as stain- and water-resistant, so they work well with spills.

• Metal frames and legs

Metal is often used to construct the legs or frames of bar stools for stability. Powder-coated finishes to prevent rust provide a modern look.

• Plastic and polypropylene

Lightweight and easy to clean, plastic and polypropylene are popular materials for stool seats. Also, kid-friendly and durable, these are great options.

• Upholstered options

For padded comfort, you will find bar stools with upholstered covering in faux leather, fabric, or polyester. These can provide a classier look and increased comfort for long-term seating.

How to take care or maintain your bar furniture

Taking care of your bar furniture ensures it looks great and works well for a long time. Just a few simple habits can help keep your stools and tables looking clean and fresh.

• Wipe down after every use

Always wipe bar surfaces down using a damp cloth with some mild soap (be sure to wipe up spills!) to help protect the finish, prevent stains, and help prevent warping.

• Tighten screws regularly

Depending on how often you use your bar stools and tables, the screws may loosen more than you think. Check and tighten the screws every month to make sure it is stable, sound, and safe for the next time you use it.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners

Use care kits to clean upholstered or wood surfaces and avoid chemicals that may be harmful. If you need suggestions on care kits for specific materials, IKEA has care kits to help you clean your different types of materials.

• Store with care

If your bar furniture can be stacked or folded, keep it dry when storing to help prevent corrosion or rust. While your bar furniture should naturally include protective pads, use them to help prevent scratches.

With IKEA, maintaining your bar furniture is simple—letting you enjoy worry-free hosting, every time.
