If you like to entertain, bar stools are perfect for relaxing whilst enjoying a nice drink with friends. You can take your pick from various styles, including simple backless designs with solid or cushioned seats and those with armrests and seatbacks. Upholstered barstools can be covered with hardwearing fabric in your choice of colours and patterns to complement your existing décor and other furniture. Vinyl and leather bar stools are other popular options to consider.
Alternatively, you may prefer to buy stools with detachable cushions that tie on to the seatbacks. This gives you the advantage of changing the covers for cleaning or if you fancy a change of look, and can be useful if your stools get lots of use.
When deciding which bar stools to buy, remember to take accurate measurements of the space available to ensure a comfortable fit. Bar stools should be just the right height, so they are comfortable to sit in, with adequate legroom, but close enough to the countertop for convenience. As a rough guide, aim for a gap of around 9 or 10 inches between the seat and the counter. Think about the positioning of your bar stools and leave enough space between each one for people to be able to move freely. Commercial style swivel bar stools can work well in home settings, too and are great for saving space.
Online stores are excellent places to browse a massive range of different bar stools and compare prices, making it easier for you to find the perfect bar stools to transform your home.
