Dark alternative
Another effective decorative trick involves creating a pleasant contrast between your new French country bar stools and the actual table or island.
So, if the latter already showcases a light finish, you could experiment with darker stools that still maintain a harmonious French country design (like ornate legs and an elegant round or oval back, for instance).
Some popular darker hues in this style’s palette are chocolate, graphite, burgundy, and old violet.
However, darker furniture can result in a heavier and more cluttered feel, which is why we only recommend it in spacious rooms where this wouldn’t be a risk.
