HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT COUNTER STOOL

As peoples lives are transformed with today’s hectic lifestyles, more people are using counter stools than ever before. Many of our homes are being built with kitchen islands that require counter stools and high-dining sets are becoming increasing popular. For many, finding the right counter stool is an absolute necessity. Luckily, as demand has increased, so have the options for affordable counter stools. This short article is designed to help you understand your options in selecting a counter stool that will meet your specific needs.

The first thing you should consider in selecting a counter stool is to determine which height you will need. A standard counter height for most homes measures about 36 inches. This means that in order for you to sit comfortably and allow 10-12 inches for leg room, you will need a stool that has a seat height of approximately 24-26 inches high. You can go as little as 8 inches, but if you get much outside of this standard, you risk sitting too high or too low to be comfortable.

Next you should select a style that will work with your décor. Selecting a counter 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, wood stools, metal stools, traditional stools, and backless 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.

Wood counter stools are a great way to add depth and character to a room, but be careful in your selection. Perfectly matching a counter stool finish with an existing wood finish in the home is very difficult and it is often better to coordinate finishes 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 stool vendors 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 counter stool features that are needed. Many counter 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.

When considering arm rest options, you may want to consider how much space is available, if the stool will ever be facing the other direction (away from the counter) so the individual sitting there can watch TV or socialize with those behind them, and whether the arm rest will allow the user to easily get in and out of the stool.
