Our advice Buying Guide
The very term ‘Bar stool’ is a misnomer, for this versatile and somewhat fun, furniture piece fits into just about any setting with equal élan. Be it the kitchen island, the dining room, gaming room or your study, an elegant bar stool will instantly uplift the décor, without compromising on functionality or hogging on space.
Shopping for one though, involves more details than you can count on the fingers on one hand. Here’s some help.
Where do you intend to place the bar stool?
Will it be placed at a counter or will it be moved around home frequently? You need to get detailed measurements of the counter or the table that it will be propped against, to ensure that you buy the right sized one.
- Bars can be anywhere between 38-42 inches tall. The ideal stool height for a setting like this is between 28-30 inches.
- Kitchen islands and counters, on the other hand, can be 34-36 inches tall. Buy a stool that’s 24-inches tall for a comfortable seating.
- If you intend to place it in another custom setting like your work desk or any other freestanding application, then ensure that the seat of the stool is approximately 10-12 inches below the top of the table.
- If multiple stools will be placed next to each other, then calculate the room needed for elbow space. The centers of the stools should be at least 30 inches apart lest you want to jostle for elbow room.
What are elegant bar stools crafted from?
Elegant bar stools are available in a bevy of materials, styles, sizes and finishes. You can either match it with the rest of the elements in the room to create a harmonized setting or you can choose a stool that’s a complete contrast from the rest, to create an interesting focal point.
- Wooden bar stools have an old world feel about them, especially the traditional-styled ones. Throw in some matching cushions and you have a comfortable, classy seating option that will never go out of style.
- Metal bar stools can fit both classic and contemporary setups. Just pick the right finish. Chrome, for example, goes well with a modern breakfast bar. Brushed steel, on the other hand, will fit in just about any décor theme. These are durable and you can also match them with other metallic appliances or fixtures in the bar or kitchen.
- Plastic bar stools are an economic option. But they don’t cut the mustard when it comes to stability and durability. A wobbly bar stool is probably the last thing you need when you have downed one shot too many of your favorite bourbon.
What styles of elegant bar stools are there?
From ‘barely there’ bar stools to fully loaded ones with a high backrest and a swivel mechanism, you have tons of configurations to pick from.
Classic elegant bar stools are usually crafted from wood and have ornate designs. They rarely have armrests and may have mid-sized or high backrests. Leather is the commonest upholstery and cushion thickness can vary from slim to plush.
Modern designs are not limited by materials or styles. It can be a blend of classic styling with modern features. Like a wooden bar stool with a swiveling base and a sturdy metal frame. Or a metallic bar stool with tall wooden legs.
What additional features to look for in bar stools?
If space is limited, opt for backless stools without armrests. If the stool will be used mainly by elderly people, then a backrest and a footrest are desirable. Ditto with kids who are more likely to test gravity by leaning backwards. Pick the features depending on the availability of space and the according to people who will be using it.
