The Bar Stool: The Ultimate Home Kitchen Extra

Submitted by: Bill William

The home kitchen is a part of the home that enjoys an unusually high amount of attention within the field of home design and furnishing: it is the area of the home where food and liveliness abound, and therefore the kitchen understandably brings out the best in people and their home. Over recent years, kitchen design has gone through some radical, exciting changes, and today’s models of kitchen furniture and decorations are incredibly pleasing. There has been a marked trend towards adding a home bar to the kitchen or next to it, independent of the dining table, with bar stools included. The mood that this sort of arrangement can accomplish for your home is very enjoyable, classy, and is sure to be a winning combination in any home.

Bar stools themselves are a wonderful item of furniture. They utilize space economically, they are ideal for both sitting and standing situations, and when done right they are incredibly comfortable. The bar stool has traditionally been used for accommodating large amounts of people in restricted spaces, yet there has been a tendency toward including the bar stool into the home furniture line up, and the results have been wonderful all around. There are now more styles of bar stool available than ever before, and no matter what kind of kitchen or home bar area you have, there will be a kind of bar stool that will optimally suit your home aesthetics.

Modern styles have generally tended towards high-perched bar stools, well over the 30 mark, with relatively high lower footrest bars. These kinds of stools are preferable for a home kitchen with a bar that is also relatively high standing, with the effect being that the room itself takes on a slightly more drastic air. Of course, whether or not you will want to have high stools and a high bar will depend on what kind of house you have. With a kitchen and dining area with very high ceilings, then it will be a good idea aesthetically speaking to have a high bar with high stools; a low-ceiling kitchen area will of course be better suited towards a mid-level bar and stools, at around the 25-30 range.

Materials will ultimately define what kind of bar stools you want to get for your home (or, if you happen to be a business owner, your bar or restaurant perhaps), and today, thankfully, it is pretty easy to find bar stools made of high-quality, sturdy materials for relatively reasonable prices. Classic looking bar stools usually are made of deep, richly toned wood though it is increasingly common to see metal (or partly metal) stools, which increase sturdiness. As far as cushioning is concerned, it is pretty common to see polyurethane foam being used for the seat itself, though older bar stools will probably use some other material for the cushioning.

No matter what kind of bar stool you do end up buying, be sure to take a look at as many different options as possible beforehand, as you will be surprised at just how many different kinds of bar stools there actually are out there.
