Why not make the counter your oasis by adding a comfortable kitchen bar stool? Make your phone calls, read the paper or do some admin in a supportive seat at the counter. You can always create a multi-functional work space and dining counter in one with additional storage furniture like cube units and drawer sets nearby to accommodate all your work items and supplies.
Pair your bar stools with the dining table & dining chairs
Wooden bar stools can nicely complement your existing dining table and dining chairs. Pair the rattan or timber seat with the other natural finishes in your dining space for a soft, warm aesthetic. Maintain your signature look throughout each room with versatile wood bar stools that suit almost any space. With all the additional seating for entertaining, you’ll never need to limit a guest list again.
Styles that are pure comfort
For long periods of sitting, many prefer a counter stool that includes a backrest, like the new Leon collection. The curved back support, sturdy footrest and comfortable seat will keep you supported for hours. Cushioned seating is another popular comfort feature. The upholstered chair on the Livi design will keep you snug from below.
Finding the right height
What is the right seat height for your stools? The answer depends on how high your bar is. First, measure the counter height from the floor to the top of the counter. Then, look at the height of a stool from the floor to the top of the seat. Look for a bar stool approximately 25 centimetres shorter than your counter.
It’s also worth measuring the length of your counter to determine how many stools fit comfortably in the space. For 40-46 centimetre seats, leave 15 centimetres between chairs. For seats 46 centimetres or broader, or if the stool has arms or swivels, leave 15 -20 centimetres.
