Acquiring bar stools to put in your home has become more and more popular over the last quarter decade. Before that, it seemed that the barstool was relegated strictly to commercial spaces. Either you would find a comfortable barstool at your local pub, or sit down on a chrome upholstered variety at the soda shoppe / diner. Due to the demands of their commercial use, these brand of bar stools were necessarily sturdier than typical residential use furniture, and as such, stood up to some heavy duty use.

Most designers would agree that bar stool add some visual interest to a room. While care must be taken to place the bar stools and bar height tables in large enough spaces, in general the higher stools tend to create some vertical space. The only time the stools may detract from the illusion of greater vertical space is when there is a particularly low ceiling height.

If you don’t have a set already, and you are choosing your bar stools for the first time, keep in mind that not all are alike. There are several different heights available, each suited for a different height bar. The most common size is the typical 30″ bar stool. These fit the standard 42″ bar height, creating a comfortable vantage point to talk to others who are standing at the bar, or to rest your elbow while sitting at the bar. The second most common height is the 24″ version, which is relatively new to home kitchens, having been designed to seat people at the newest trend of counter height breakfast bars.

Bar stools come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Before you start looking for some bar stools for your home, you should acquaint yourself with some of the different options. Bar stools can have fixed seats or movable seats. The movable seat or swivel seat bar stools tend to be a slightly more expensive option. However, the swivel seat adds a great deal of convenience. The swivel seat allows the person to get of the chair without having to push away from the table or bar. This ability saves wear and tear on the floor beneath the stool.

When it comes to the design of the stool back or no back, there are plenty of options for this design feature as well. The height of the back will differ, playing an important part in both the style and the comfort of your stools. If price and overall size are your most important constraints, then a backless bar stool might be your preference. If not, then having a back will definitely improve the comfort factor of your seats, although as previously mentioned, these stools will also take up more floor space, as well as vertical space, often extending up beyond the bar, which in some instances may take away from a very clean design aesthetic where you don’t want anything interrupting the clean lines of your bar top.

Adding a set of bar stools to your next kitchen or entertainment room renovation will certainly add flair, but to pull the whole design effort together, you must be aware of how the type and style of bar stool will fit into your design scheme. The height, physical size, material, and whether it has a back and arms will all affect your final look. Decide on something that is good for you, and the bar stools you choose will bring your entire design together.
