Buying Guide

Finding unique oak swivel bar stools can be a tough challenge. There are just so many factors that require considering. What's more, there’s a need to make the right decision as the chairs can take quite an investment.
Don't worry as we’ll tackle all that and more below.
Choose the oak swivel bar stools that have a common element with the furniture they will be paired with to ensure that they all look good together. The common element may be the undertone of the color or finish, level of formality, or the material. It can be just a single design element like the feet or legs of the furniture. With that being said, don’t just choose the bar stools that look exactly the same with the table or counter as you might as well just purchase a matching set.
If you have a counter or breakfast table that has a gleaming polish, it is not right to pair it with distressed stools as it’s not a table that's in need of mismatching with garden chairs or parlor stools. What’s best is a set of oak swivel bar stools with a shiny finish.
Since there is a need for you to pick the pieces that will look good together with all the décor and furniture of where the stools will be placed, you must consider the existing style of the room.
With decorating, there are exceptions to the rules. For example, when you’re mixing bar stools with a bar or counter, the exception is when what you’ve paired with works as it is outrageous as a whole.
If you mix a sleek, contemporary bar made of zebrawood with early American maple bar stools, they will look like the owner of the furniture doesn’t have any taste or has no sense of what is appropriate.
However, when you mix the same bar with a set of carved and gilded oak swivel bar stools that can make even Marie Antoinette look as if she’s just a casual gal, then the look is avant-garde and deliberate.
Although it will still get raised eyebrows from some of your provincial pals, fashion-forward folks that are on your guest lists will wish they had thought of the concept first.
Oak swivel bar stools are extremely easy to care for and maintain. They don’t damage as easily and they naturally resist staining and scratching. Just a regular dusting is what’s needed for the chairs to look as if they are brand new. If you want to exert more effort, just wipe the stools down with a damp cloth with linseed oil on it.
If you want your oak swivel bar stools to be versatile, you need to identify their intended uses. Maybe you want stools that can be used on bars and counters alike. If so, then you need adjustable height stools. If you also need the stools as extra seating in your media area or living room, then choose the ones with backrests and padded seats as they make sitting for prolonged durations comfortable.
