Bar stools & counter stools

The art of selecting bar stools

By making height, style, and functionality part of the equation, you can find the perfect bar stool that offers both comfort and the right look. Bar stools are not just a practical addition; they are a statement of style and comfort - so please have a look at our vast selection! 

How do I choose the right bar stools?

When selecting bar stools, consider the height of your counter or table. A good rule of thumb is to allow for 20-30 cm (9-12") between the seat and the counter for comfortable seating. Breakfast bar stools typically range from 60-75 cm (24-30") in height, ideal for kitchen islands and counters. 
 
Moreover, think about the style and functionality. Do you prefer a swivel feature for easy conversation, or are stationary chairs more your thing? Assess the space around your bar area to determine whether you'd benefit from stools that tuck away neatly or do you want the support from a proper backrest. 

What are the benefits of kitchen bar stools?

Kitchen bar stools can transform a humble nook into a favourite gathering spot. They encourage casual dining, socialising, and can even provide a makeshift work area. The versatility of kitchen bar stools makes them a valuable addition to any home. With various designs and patterns, from minimalistic to ornate, they can complement your existing decor or inspire a new direction.
 
And like we mentioned - bar stools with backrests offer support for extended sitting, while those without can be easily stowed under the counter, saving precious space. Adjustable stools provide flexibility, accommodating everyone in the family, regardless of height. 

How can I make my bar stools last?

Quality and durability are as important as aesthetics. Materials like solid wood or metal can withstand daily use while maintaining their appearance. Cushioned seats add comfort, but consider removable covers for ease of cleaning.
