Counter Stools and Barstools for Your Space
Counter barstools and upholstered stools are more than just seating options; they play a crucial role in the functionality and aesthetics of your kitchen or dining area. Stools come in a variety of styles, materials, and heights, making it easier to find the perfect fit for your specific needs. Before you start shopping, it's important to consider the purpose, style, and comfort features that will best suit your space.
Materials
Upholstered stools offer comfort and come in a variety of fabrics, from luxurious leathers—faux or genuine—to easy-to-clean synthetics.
For a rustic farmhouse look, consider wooden stools with distressed finishes. Metal stools, on the other hand, are perfect for achieving a sleek, modern look.
Each material offers unique benefits, so consider your space's design and daily use when making your selection.
Uses by Room
- Kitchen: Counter stools are ideal for quick meals, meal prep, or extra seating in a busy kitchen. Choose easy-to-clean surfaces and the right height for your counter.
- Home Bar: Barstools offer comfort in home bars or with pub-height tables, especially with solid footrests and back support for longer use.
- Outdoor Patio: Opt for weather-resistant outdoor barstools in materials like metal, all-weather wicker, or treated wood for durable patio seating.
How to Measure for Barstools
To get the right stool height, measure your counter or bar. Counter stool seats are usually 24-26 inches high, while barstool seats are 28-30 inches from the ground. Ensure a 10-12 inch gap between the seat and the counter for comfort.
Additional Considerations
- How tall are counter-height stools and how tall are pub-height barstools? Counter-height barstools usually have a seat that is between 24 to 26 inches from the ground, while bar-height stools typically have a seat that is 28 to 30 inches from the ground. The overall height varies depending on what kind of back the stool has.
- How do you measure dining stools? Measure from the floor to the underside of your counter, bar, or pub table to determine the optimal stool height. Remember to leave a 10-12 inch space between the seat and the underside of the counter for size-inclusive comfort.
