Buying bar stools? Here's what to look out for!

A barstool is not just another seat; it is an extension of your interior and should be both comfortable and stylish. Whether you want to create a cozy corner in the kitchen or seek a luxurious look for your bar table, the right bar chair will make all the difference. What should you look for when choosing bar chairs?

1. Determine the right seat height bar stool
One of the most important aspects is the seat height. For a comfortable sitting position, keep 25-30 cm space between the seat and the table top. Use this guideline:

• Bar height ± 90 cm → Seat height 65 cm
• Bar height ± 100-110 cm → Seat height 75 cm
• Bar table higher than 110 cm → Seat height 80 cm or more

2. What material barstool do you choose?
The material determines the look and ease of maintenance of your barstool:
Leather barstools- Stylish and easy to clean.
Fabric bar chairs: Comfortable and attractive, but requires a little more maintenance.

3. Swivel or fixed bar stool
Swivel bar chairs are useful if you want flexible movement, such as at a kitchen island.
Fixed bar chairs are often sturdier and more stable.

4. Bar stool with or without a footrest?
A footrest provides additional seating comfort, especially for taller bar chairs.

5. How many bar chairs do you need?
For a comfortable layout, consider 60 cm per chair so that everyone has enough room.

6. Choose a style bar stool that suits your interior design

• Industrial → Robust with metal and leather.
• Modern → Minimalist and sleek.
• Scandinavian → Light wood and soft colors.
• Hotel chic → Velvet and brass details for a luxurious look.

7. Maintenance and protection
Make sure the legs have protective caps or felts to prevent scratches on the floor.
