Bar
stools initially used in pubs and bars are a modern addition to the home
kitchen décor and furniture. Since 2010 bar stools have become considerably
popular in homes as they significantly enhance the look and style of your
kitchen. Bar stools, allow people to sit at a higher position while
socialising, eating or drinking. However there are certain factors that should
be taken in consideration when using bar stools to add to the beauty and
aesthetics of your kitchen.
Make Furniture Look Pleasant
One
of the most important tip when adding bar stools in your kitchen is to ensure
that it complements the overall décor and theme of your kitchen. Pairing metal
bar stools with traditional furniture in your kitchen might not be a perfect
blend. Hence, it is essential for you to keep in mind the style of the kitchen
furniture when selecting the type and style of bar stools. The colour and
material of the bar stool should match the bar for instance, if you have wooden
furniture throughout your kitchen, the perfect option would be wooden bar stools that would add to the
overall classic appeal.
Furniture Size
Before using bar stools in
your kitchen, be certain about the size of the island. You do not want six of these
chairs for a small bar, as it would make the overlook overcrowded. It is ideal
to use the number of bar stools that can be easily accommodated within the size
of the bar without swarming. This will allow people to easily move the chair
and sit comfortably without touching the person sitting beside them.
Look
for Variety
Nowadays people have a wide
variety of bar chairs they can choose which includes industrial stools,
mid-century designs, leather stools, wooden stools, suspended bar stools,
modern bar stools, fabric seats and wicker bar stools. This comprehensive range
of kitchen stools are
catered to meet the décor and comfort requirements of different styles of
kitchen.
Hire
an Expert Interior Designer
If in doubt, use expert advice
from an interior designer. They are in a better position to guide you on the style
and material of bar stools that would best suit the design of your kitchen. An
interior designer has considerable experience in designing and decorating a kitchen,
which is why it is always recommended to seek expert advice before starting any
kitchen renovations. They would know the number of bar stools that would fit
into your kitchen without making it look too congested.
Take
Estimates and Measurements
The height of a stool is
another essential tip to remember when adding to the charm of your kitchen by using
bar stools. The height of the bar
should be in the right proportion to fit into the counter or bar. Hence always
measure the height of the bar before adding a bar stool. You don’t want the
barstool to be extremely low or high compared to the bar which makes it
uncomfortable and difficult for a person to sit and have food or a drink.
Ideally the space between your seat and table surface should be 9”-12” as bar
are usually 41” high and standard kitchen counters are 34”.
