Bar Counter Height vs. Countertop Height: What’s the difference?

When it comes to kitchen countertops, there are two main heights to consider: bar height and countertop height. Bar height countertops are typically 102-109 cm from the floor, while countertop height countertops are typically 86-99 cm from the floor.

So, which height is right for your kitchen? It depends on a number of factors, including your height, the size of your kitchen, and how you plan to use your countertops.

Here are some of the pros and cons of each height to help you decide:

Ultimately, the best way to decide which height is right for your kitchen is to consider your own needs and preferences. If you’re not sure, it’s always a good idea to consult with one of our designers to ensure you get the correct functionality.

Here are some additional factors to consider when making your decision:

Kitchen Size

If you have a small kitchen, bar height countertops can help to open up the space. However, if you have a large kitchen, countertop height countertops may be more comfortable and functional.

Countertop Usage

If you plan to use your countertops for food preparation, countertop height countertops may be the best option. However, if you plan to use your countertops for casual seating, bar height countertops may be a better choice.

Your Height

If you’re tall, bar height countertops may be more comfortable for you to use. However, if you’re short, countertop height countertops may be a better option.
