Best Bar Stools of 2022

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it’s understandable that want to find the best bar stools to match it. While the right décor can certainly help, furniture is what really turns your kitchen into a great living space.

Though a table and chairs may be what comes to mind first, a bar and counter stools are a great option for making the most of your kitchen island or breakfast bar. After all, they may be some of the first things someone notices when they walk into the room. Luckily, there are tons of styles out there at different price points, so you can find the perfect ones for your home.

In this post, we’ll help you find the best stools for your kitchen or dining area!

 

Choosing the right bar stool

There are a lot of things to keep in mind when trying to find the right bar stool for you. Below are some of the most important things, which should help you find the perfect bar stool for you.

Height – first is the size. To determine the right size, it’s important to measure the height of the bar, counter or another surface you want to use the bar stools for. You should then subtract around ten to twelve inches from that height to determine the optimal height for your bar stools.

Size – the size is also important to consider, especially when you’re working with a small space. Large spaces often look better with a larger number of stools, or with broader stools with back support and armrests. Smaller minimalist stools often work better for small spaces, allowing you to squeeze in a few extra seats.

Colour – Next is the colour, which should go well with the rest of the living/dining space. A good bar stool should contrast the space it’s in colour-wise, with lighter colours often working well in darker rooms and visa-versa.

Design – Do you prefer a modern contemporary look or would you prefer to add a classic touch to the room? There are a lot of different designs to choose from, so taking the time to browse our collection is definitely recommended. This will give you a better idea of the different styles and designs available.
