Stools & Bar Stools

How to place bar stools in the home

Bar stools are often placed next to kitchen islands and breakfast bars. Putting your bar stools next to your kitchen island allows friends and family to sit and socialise as you cook and prepare food. If you enjoy entertaining or spending time together as a family, this is the perfect way to make your kitchen work for you.

Alternatively, if you have a breakfast bar or dining shelves, use kitchen stools to create informal dining spaces and make the most of every corner of your home. Ideal for a quick breakfast, kids’ dinner or casual bite, raised seating areas are perfect for busy homes.

How to create a dining area with bar stools

If you don’t have the room for a table and dining chairs in your kitchen, you can use bar stools to create a practical and comfortable place to eat. Install a breakfast bar or turn your kitchen island into a dining space. As breakfast bars and islands take up a lot less space than standard dining tables, they’re perfect for smaller homes and bijou interiors.

Choose bar stools that complement your existing interior décor to ensure your new dining area looks the part. Alternatively, opt for bar stools made from classic materials - a rattan or wooden stool will never go out of style and will always look good in your home.

FAQs

How to stop bar stools from scratching the floor?

Good quality bar stools should come with small pads on their feet to prevent them causing damage to your floor. If your bar stools don’t have these pads, you can buy them separately and put them on yourself. This is a good idea as, left unprotected, bar stools can cause scratches and dents on your floor over time.

How much space for stools at kitchen island?

Stools placed at a kitchen island should have a seating height of around 66cm. This will ensure they’re comfortable for sitting and for dining. Before you invest in new bar stools for your home, measure the height of your kitchen island to ensure the stools will fit snugly in the space.
