HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BAR STOOL

As peoples lives are transformed with today’s hectic lifestyles, more people are using bar stools than ever before. Many of our homes are being built with kitchen islands that require counter stools, serving bars that require bar stools and in some cases the bonus rooms that come equipped with a built in bar, some of which may even require extra tall stools. For many, there is an absolute necessity for bar stools and luckily, as the demand has increased, so has the style and selection that is available to you! But with all of these new choices and options, many people find it difficult to select a stool that will meet their needs as well as fit into their budget. This short article is designed to eliminate some of the confusion about selecting a bar stool that will best meet your needs as well as help you find a style that will work with your décor.

The first thing you should consider when selecting a bar stool is choosing which height that works for you. Bar stools typically come in three basic heights which are counter height, bar height, and extra tall or spectator height. In general, counter height stools have a seat height of 24-26 inches while bar stools typically have a seat height of 29-30 inches. In some cases, you may find that you will need an extra tall bar stool which has a seat height of 34-36 inches. Extra tall bar stools are not as common as the other heights, but in recent years, there has been an increased demand. To determine which height is best for you, most vendors recommend allowing 10 inches of leg room between the underneath side of the serving area and the seat of the stool.

Next you should select a style that will work with your décor. Selecting a bar stool is a great opportunity for you to add interest to a room, make a statement, or display your personal style. There are many styles from which to choose, including modern bar stools, traditional bar stools, casual bar stools and even themed bar stools just to name a few. The key to finding a style that works best for you is to consider the other elements that are in the surrounding area and selecting something that will add to the area and not be distracting when placed in the setting.

One troublesome area for many people is the decision between selecting a wood bar stool or a metal bar stool. Wood bar stools are a great way to add a rich, warm look to a room, and can add great depth and character to numerous settings, but be careful in your selection. Perfectly matching a bar stool finish to an existing wood finish in the home is very difficult and it is often better to coordinate finishes rather than tying to match exactly. For this reason, many people choose a metal stool option instead of adding another wood tone to the room, and many metal stools offer a great selection of finish options that will coordinate nicely with existing hardware or lighting fixtures.

Finally, the last thing that you will need to decide is if there are additional bar stool features that are needed. Many bar stool vendors offer a wide variety of options to consider such as arms, swivel, finish options, fabric options and some even offer a swivel and tilt option. It is important to realize that not every option available is offered on all styles and price points, so it may be helpful to determine which options are necessities, and which options are simply desirable.
