Buying Guide
Emily is a young, talented designer, whose professional interests gravitate towards kitchen and dining spaces. She prides herself on her attention to detail, obsession with functionality, and appreciation for craftsmanship.
Bar stools can be just a round bit of wood on top of four legs, but they can be much more than that. There are truly comfortable bar stools that incorporated a cushioned seat, and a supportive back. But unique ones go beyond that. Some can rise or be lowered by use of a level or crank, while others are created by imitating seats used on antique farm machinery.
What exactly is a unique bar stool?
Unique means to be existing as the only example of its kind, or something that is rare and unusual. When it comes to home furnishings, unique items are those that can start a conversation or that set the tone for a room just by being there. You might not think of a simple seating device as being unique, but that really depends on the stool. If your kitchen bar stools are just too ordinary, you can turn them into something unique by using bar stool slipcovers to change them. But others are one-of-a-kind all on their own.
Are there bar stools with unique adjusting mechanisms?
An adjustable bar stool might not be truly unique, but some of the ways that they can be adjusted certainly stand out. Many adjust simply by turning the seat around and around because it is mounted on the top of a giant screw. Screws are classified as simple machines, and this style has often been the subject of jokes in cartoons and animations. A similar type is adjusted by using a side crank rather than simply by spinning the seat.
What are some exaples of farm-style bar stools?
Some bar stool seats are either refurbished seats from old farm machinery or carved wooden imitations of old farm seats. Such seats are designed to mold to the sitter’s backside for a unique comfort experience. Teamed up with some gingham, heavy utilitarian tableware, and a picture of a cow or two and you can invoke memories of the soda fountain at the local Farmer’s Market or a country diner.
What are the main features of Victorian-style bar stools?
In the days of Queen Victoria, modesty was carried to such an extreme that even piano legs were covered with ruffles. You can give an air of formality to your kitchen barstools by adding a series of long ruffles that cascade from the bottom of the seat. These can be stiffly starched, or they can be made of a fabric, such as brocade, that has a degree of natural stiffness.
If you would like something a little more masculine, create a skirt from Scottish tartan, using a box pleat for the corners of a sturdy stool with a high back.
What unique bar stools fit a business setting?
Leather upholstery on a single chrome leg might bring to mind secret meetings, bull sessions, and late nights with a glass in one hand and a cigar in the other. Looped backs and a lever similar to the ones used on office chairs have a more futuristic look – again, with leather upholstery and a single chrome leg.
No matter which unique bar stool you select, it is sure to become an heirloom.
