Kitchen stools are a great way to transform your kitchen. A breakfast bar complete with a nice new set of breakfast bar stools can bring a number of wonderful new benefits to this vital part of your home environment and completely change the way you approach key meal times. In particular, a breakfast bar can completely alter the way you approach the meal it was created for and named after; breakfast.

The Importance of Breakfast

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Too often, however, today's breakfast is a rushed, half-hearted affair or is even skipped entirely in the rush to get out the door and get to work, especially if you have to travel to the office via the school run. Modern schedules are busier and more hectic than those of the past, and have done away with the idea of everyone sitting around the breakfast table.

This is unfortunate, because breakfast is the most important meal of the day in a number of ways. Not only is it the meal that gives you the energy to fuel your day as it takes off and keep you going until lunchtime, but it's also one of the defining moments that lays the groundwork for the mood and progress of the day to come. A rushed, half-hearted breakfast of convenience may not give you the energy and nutrition you need, and it will certainly not help you to start the day in a good mood. Rushing from your bed to the door as quickly as possible, barely even pausing for your breakfast, can feel exhausted before you even arrive at your desk. A proper and pleasant breakfast, on the other hand, can help you  feel ready to face not only the journey to work but the morning's to-do list and the day beyond.

Where Kitchen Stools Come in

Can a set of breakfast bar stools really do anything to change all this? In fact, they can do a surprising amount. They offer you an alternative breakfast solution which is well-suited to the rush of modern life, providing a compromise between the need to be quick and the benefits of taking a few minutes out in the morning to eat your breakfast properly and calmly. As much as we like to idealise the days of sit-down breakfasts, the truth is that these are no longer practical for most of us and sitting at a proper breakfast table seems to formal and involved when we are in a hurry. A breakfast bar and set of stools will provide you a simple, easy, quick way to “perch” on the stool for a less formal sit-down breakfast, encouraging you to relax for a moment and eat properly without wasting too much time.

At the same time, kitchen stools are often designed to be decorative as well as functional. In this way, they can help to enhance your kitchen as an environment to spend time in and make it altogether more pleasant. This will help everyone, from busy professionals to their kids who slept through their alarms on a school day, to more effectively relax and take a breather before leaving.

Bar stools are very useful, practical and stylish items whether used in the home or for a business. There are a number of very powerful and compelling reasons that both domestic and business users should consider investing in a set of new, high-quality wooden stools.

Why Wooden Bar Stools?

Pretty much all good-quality bar and kitchen stools can offer a range of fantastic benefits for both homes and businesses. Certainly it would not be true to say that only wooden stools are worth buying or even that wooden stools are the best choice for absolutely everyone. However, there are a couple of solid advantages to wooden stools over other types that will make them ideal for many people.

Wood is a very good material to make stools out of. It is strong without being excessively heavy and has long-term durability. It is also a very stylish material, lending a traditional touch to some otherwise very modern stools. As kitchen stools tend to be stylish items contributing to the overall look and feel of their surroundings, this is a valuable asset indeed.

For Homes

Breakfast bar stools are a great and highly versatile seating solution for the home. They provide a laid-back, practical solution for dining that is a world away from old-fashioned dining tables and far better-suited to the modern lifestyle. At the same time, they provide a form of seating that is perfect for casual relaxation and for grabbing a breather around the house at times when you find yourself wandering aimlessly or just wanting a few minutes out.

Kitchen stools are also very useful for entertaining. As well as simply providing extra seating space, the relaxed nature of propping yourself up on a stool is perfect for casual gatherings of friends and family. As guest seating, they fit well in any room of the house or even outside on decking or a patio.

For Businesses

The most obvious place that bar stools have in a business is at a bar. This makes them useful for pubs and clubs, as well as hotels, restaurants and pretty much any other business that offers a bar onsite. Stools are also useful for space-efficient extra seating in restaurants and eateries, particularly around the edges of the room.

However, these are far from the only kinds of business that can benefit from bar stools. Indeed, a business need not even be customer-facing to benefit from wooden stools. If there is a staff canteen on-site, then once again stools can provide space-efficient extra seating. Stools are also perfect for use in staff rooms and relaxation areas. They provide comfortable and practical seating, which is laid-back and perfect for staff who are getting their breath back before plunging back into their duties once their break is over.
