Trendy bar stools for your home

Open kitchen-living rooms are becoming increasingly popular today and offer a clear view of the kitchenette. The two rooms are often separated by long work surfaces, counters or integrated table surfaces where bar stools can be placed. A big advantage of the high chairs is their height adjustability, which allows for easy and continuous adjustment to the height of the counter. This way you can make your kitchen functional and stylish. Discover the different bar stool models that suit your interior style now!

Counter stool with optimal standing: These models are available to choose from

There is a wide range of bar stools with different leg shapes and types. In this guide you will find out which models are available and what special features they have.

Bar stool with one leg

It is common for bar stools to only have one leg on which the seat shell is attached. This seat shell is often rotatable and height-adjustable, with the flexible seat height usually varying between 60 and 85 cm. When it comes to the shape of the foot, you can choose between a round trumpet foot or a square foot plate. Ultimately, which option you choose depends on your personal taste.

Bar stool with 4-foot frame

Four legged bar stools are a stable and safe choice for those who want to rest their feet while sitting. The four legs are often connected with a cross brace that provides additional stability. Visually, they often resemble traditional dining chairs and can come in a variety of styles and materials.

Bar stool with or without backrest

There are different backrest options for bar stools. There are models without a backrest, with a half-height backrest and with a high backrest. Bar stools without backrests have the advantage that they can be pushed completely under a bar table to save space when they are not in use. In models with a seat shell and a slightly raised backrest, this provides light support when leaning back. Counter stools with a high, padded backrest are suitable for a more relaxed sitting posture.

These materials are popular

Bar stools are not only comfortable, but also stylish pieces of furniture for any room. There is a large selection of materials such as wood, metal or plastic, each of which has its own advantages. Wooden bar stools are sturdy and durable, while metal bar stools look modern and industrial. Plastic bar stools, on the other hand, are particularly light and easy to care for. No matter what material you choose, with a bar stool you can always create a cozy and modern atmosphere.

Wooden counter stool

Solid wood bar stools give any room a cozy and warm atmosphere. The material is not only robust and durable, but also easy to care for. A damp cloth is often enough for cleaning. If scratches do occur on the surface, these can easily be removed with a little sandpaper from untreated chairs. For chairs with a sealed surface, touch-up pens in a matching color can be used to repair damage.

Metal counter stool

Bar stools with a chrome-plated base are a real eye-catcher. The smooth, silver surface of the metal provides a reflection of the surroundings. The metal frames are extremely impact-resistant and easy to clean and can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. To avoid streaks appearing on the surface, it is recommended to polish the metal frame with a soft cotton cloth after cleaning.

Plastic counter stool

Bar stools made entirely of plastic are very easy to transport and relocate due to their light weight. They are also extremely durable and easy to clean, which means they can also be used outdoors such as on balconies or terraces. To clean the surfaces of these stools, simply wipe them with a mix of water and detergent.

The perfect bar stool for your home

In order to create a harmonious interior, the bar stool should also match the living style. For a modern look, models with clear lines and a simple color scheme, such as black or white, are suitable. Light wood types and reduced shapes are recommended in Scandi style. The country house style, on the other hand, is characterized by playful details and rustic materials such as wood and leather. Bar stools with armrests and padded seats fit particularly well here.

Country house style:

In a spacious kitchen with an oak look, four-legged bar stools made of solid wood with a natural look fit best. If you want to emphasize the rustic country style, models with cream-colored seat and back cushions or a wooden backrest decorated with diagonal struts are suitable.

Modern style:

Suitable seating for a black and white kitchenette are counter stools with a silver trumpet base and black faux leather covers. Alternatively, you can also choose models with white plastic seat shells, which you can decorate with soft seat cushions. To round off the ambience, there are open shelves that can be stocked with glass storage containers, round decorative bowls with a chrome look and elegant wine glasses.

Scandinavian style:

For a Scandi-style kitchen, we recommend bar stools with slim wooden legs and a simple, white plastic seat. Four-legged chairs are particularly suitable here. Another model with a light wooden seat and black metal frame also ensures a Nordic cool look. To complement the simple furnishings, you can decorate the counter with sky blue vases and fresh flowers.
