Cheers to New Bar Stools from Homemakers!

Finding bar stools to fit your home décor is no easy task. You need to consider style, size, materials and more before having enough information to make the right choice.

With a wide variety of bar stools available, there's sure to be something that fits perfectly in your space. The question is, how do you find the stools that work best for you? By answering a few helpful questions from the experts at Homemakers! We know what other people are looking for, so you can narrow down your focus and make the decision a little less complicated.

Make Sure Your Bar Stools Strike the Right Tone for the Space

In addition to complementing any existing décor, a unique benefit of bar stools is their ability to double a room’s seating without taking up too much extra space. Whether you're looking to create a cozy atmosphere in the kitchen or an inviting bar in your finished basement, bar stools are ideal for hosting and entertaining.

Not only do bar stools add a unique look to any space, but they also still manage to provide comfortable seating. Homemakers offers beautiful, sturdy bar stools in vibrant colors, contemporary styles and traditional designs alike. A set of modern bar stools with minimalist designs add a touch of sleek sophistication, whereas wooden stools share a more rustic or informal appeal.

Today’s Bar Stools Offer Features Like 360° Swivel: Find Out What Suits You Best!

Even though they’re usually small and simply designed, bar stools still offer a lot in the way of convenience. For example, a swivel mechanism lets you rotate 360 degrees and keep everything accessible. When they include a backrest, you’ll appreciate the added comfort and support while you enjoy breakfast or a snack with friends and family.

Bar stools with backs come in various designs that appeal to different preferences of comfort and aesthetic. Ladder-back bar stools add a classic touch of style while slat-back bar stools contribute to a little more of a modern vibe. And X-back models are yet another option that brings an especially old-world charm to the space.

What Size Ensures a Comfortable Seat at the Breakfast Bar?

Lastly, you should always take some time to compare the different heights of bar stools. After all, it doesn’t matter what size your bar stools are if they don’t reach the counter. Bar stools typically range from 28-36 inches tall, so your breakfast bar or countertop height determines what size bar stool you need.

As a general rule of thumb, your bar stools should be 6 to 8 inches lower than the countertop for comfortable use. Keeping the proportions of your bar stools and counter height in balance ensures the best look.
