Slightly similar to the above but this is called an overhang worktop. When ordering worktops for your kitchen, choose a wider depth worktop for the area you wish to create your breakfast bar. Instead of the worktop being cut in line with your units it will pretrude out creating an ‘overhang’ for a breakfast bar. You can also neatly tuck your stools under it making it a great space saving solution.
