A great way to combine a retro and older style with a more modern design in your kitchen is to consider mid century modern bar stools. These have a 1950s style without compromising on the modernity and contemporary style that you're looking for in your home. Let's take a more detailed look at some of the various styles that you can choose for your kitchen.

What different designs of mid-century modern bar stools are there?

Leather seat with wooden legs

Although wood is a material which has been used for hundreds of years when making furniture, it's still a modern material to use and can still be manufactured to look highly modern. When light pine wooden legs are combined with a comfortable leather seat, you can achieve a beautiful mid-century look. There is also a backrest which is made from leather to allow for extra comfort, and brass details can be seen around and underneath the chair for extra support and style.

Rattan seat with metal legs

With four metal legs in a tripod style and a metal ring mid way up the frame to allow the user to easily get on top of the seat, this style looks like something straight out of the home used in a 50s movie. Perfectly suited to conservatories but also in the lighter and more traditionally styled kitchens, the rattan seat is different from many of the other styles you will see. It is a lightweight material, and the light bright color brightens up the room and complements a darker breakfast bar or table very well.

Plastic Scandinavian style

With narrow legs spread out in true Scandinavian style, this design of bar stool is the ultimate way to combine that warm traditional mid-century style with the contemporary look. The plastic and rounded seats are comfortable, while maintaining the simple design and block effect of just one color. Some of the most popular colors you will see are grey, green, blue and pink, although they are available in almost any color you could possibly ask for. The thin wooden legs are given further support through the help of metal rods and beams which are linked between them. Some of these styles are adjustable too, and the mechanisms allow easy customization of your kitchen bar stools.

Minimalist and simple

Not everybody is a fan of the style which has a lot of material and features going on, and if you're after something a little more simplistic for your kitchen, the minimalist look could be suitable for you. This is very similar to one of the styles which they would have used in the 1950s. The metal frame is light to carry, while also being light on the eye. Since they are generally made of chrome or metal throughout to give a real minimal feel, they work well when paired with colorful cushions to provide extra comfort and to add the warm feel from a 1950s kitchen.
