Bar Stools

More about Bar Stools

It’s hard to explain what makes a neighbourhood bar such a magic place. Rubbing shoulders with friends and strangers alike while being served drinks by a bartender who’s basically a chum themselves, all while surrounded by warm and familiar decor--there’s simply nothing like it! To bring some of that charm into your home try these irresistible bar stools, which somehow encourage you to lean forward and spill the juiciest gossip you have or turn an entranced ear towards an outlandish yarn. While these are perfect if you happen to have a small bar set-up in your home (what could be better than martinis in bathrobes!), we love the communal feel of four of them arranged around a kitchen island, the perfect way for you to entertain and be entertained while putting the finishing touches on a meal.

There’s a range of styles of course, so you can always find something that will fit with the particular vibe of your home: untreated wood for a rustic, lumberjack sort of vibe, slim modern designs for the Andy Warhol aesthete. If you go for more of a vintage look, you can make a quirky nod to this seating’s origin with cocktail art prints. Maybe the best thing about these stools from a design perspective is that they’re much easier to tuck away than chairs. If you pressed for space try to pick out stools that will slide under your table or kitchen island, which is also great for keeping the look of the room uncluttered, or if you really need to maximise your room, try a model that folds or stacks easily.
