Home Style Decorating

Barstools are a type of stool often with a footrest which, because of their height and narrowness, are designed for seating in a public house or bar. However, barstools are becoming more popular in homes, usually placed at the kitchen counter or at a home bar. Bar stools are fast becoming popular because of their varied styles that are not only appealing but they also accentuate the theme of a room. Bar stools allow for a higher view when eating, drinking, or socializing and can add to the atmosphere, given the right bar stool.

Bars tools have different types but are commonly made of wood or metal. There are bar stools with and without armrests, back and padding on the seat surface. Barstools can range from basic wooden designs to extremely detailed ones with a custom height for the perfect fit. Extra tall and extra short are common features as well as indoor bar stools and outdoor bar stools. Some bar stools have back, while most do not.

The normal seat height for a bar stool is 30″ with a twenty- six inch stool being used against kitchen counters. Extra tall 36″ stools are increasingly used in contemporary styles with high pub tables to create a striking visual effect in modern interiors. By comparison, a conventional dining chair seat height is 18 inches.

Bar stools can be made from rattan or bamboo and these stools are useful in creating a tiki bar effect. The retro styling of the fifties and sixties is extremely popular in commercial premises and chrome and vinyl stools combined with matching benches or diner chairs are great for creating a retro look. Aluminum is a good choice of material for stools that will be used outdoors. Indoors, wood and upholstery are very popular choices in traditional settings. Bar stools are commonly used in pool or billiard halls/ room and the style of chair customized for such use is often called a “spectator chair”.
