Let a Pool Side Bar Inspire Your Round Kitchen Table

Out in the Bahamas there is a popular vacation spot that has the unique quality of hosting a full bar out in the middle of a pool. The bartender is able to stand in the shallow water in the middle of a large hollowed out round table and serve drinks to patrons who want to cool off and relax in their bathing suits with a nice cocktail. This type of poolside bar has become so popular that it is inspiring furniture designers and helping them to come up with new ideas for tables.

The basic design for a round kitchen table is simple: a solid circle made of either glass or wood affixed atop four table legs. These round kitchen tables are sturdy, durable, and fashionable but they lack one thing: fascination. No one is going to think twice when they walk into your kitchen and see a plain wooden round kitchen table but if they were talk walk into your kitchen and see a half moon table jutting out of the wall they might be a little more curious.

One of the more unique round kitchen table designs takes that poolside bar and flips it on its head. The kitchen table juts out the side of the kitchen on the other side of the wall. There is a little half door that separates the cook from the diners and this is where he or she can move in and out of the table to serve the guests. Though this particular round kitchen table design is not the most practical it is definitely one of the most interesting.

There are many advantages to having a round kitchen table with the centerpiece missing. You can put interesting things in the middle of the wood like aquariums or assorted plants or you can pretend to be a hibachi chef and stand in the middle while you dish out the food.
