Chrome step stools can come in handy when you’re trying to reach or organize those hard-to-access kitchen cabinets and high shelves around the house.
In addition, some chrome step stools feature a folding frame for easy portability, meaning you can move the stool from one place to another with no trouble. These chairs are also convenient to sit on while you cook in the kitchen.
A chrome step stool is a fabulous way to add retro personality as well as utility to your home—so we’d firstly style it by keeping it out and in the open!
If it’s possible to coordinate the color of your stool to colors already existing in your home, that will help it be a little more cohesive. We’d then find a cute plant, a stack of cookbooks, or perhaps a little mail caddy to place on top of the step stool for styling when the stool is not in use.
Pro tip: Select something small and easy to move to place on top of your step stool, so it’s easy to use your stool as a stool when you need to!
