Low Stools for Australian Homes
Low stools sit between standard seating and bar or counter-height stools, making them a genuinely versatile option for a range of spaces and uses. Their compact proportions allow them to tuck neatly beneath tables and benches when not needed, keeping layouts open and uncluttered. Browse our full range of Designer Bar Stools if you are looking for taller seating options, or explore our Kitchen Stools for counter-height designs suited to standard Australian bench heights.
Versatile Seating Across the Home
One of the key strengths of a low stool is its ability to move between rooms and functions. In the dining room they provide additional seating for casual meals. In the living room they serve as a footrest or occasional side surface. In compact kitchens they offer a practical perch at lower bench surfaces. Available in timber, fabric and metal finishes, our low stool range suits a variety of interior styles and everyday needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Outdoor low stools provide compact seating for patios, balconies and garden areas. They can also function as footrests or small surfaces beside outdoor seating.
Our low stools are available in a variety of materials, each offering different benefits:
- Wooden low stools are popular for their natural warmth and timeless appearance, making them well suited to contemporary and classic interiors.
- Upholstered or leather low stools provide added comfort and a more refined look, often used in living rooms or lounge areas.
- Other materials such as metal or moulded plastic offer a more modern aesthetic and are typically lightweight and easy to maintain.
That depends on how they will be used in your space. Low stools are typically lower than standard dining or bar stools and are designed to sit comfortably alongside lounge3 seating or lower tables.
- In living spaces, a low stool generally works best when the seat height aligns closely with sofa or armchair seating, allowing it to function comfortably as extra seating or a footrest.
- For dining or casual seating areas with lower tables, choosing a low stool with balanced proportions ensures comfortable use without overwhelming the space.
Yes. One of the main advantages of low stools is their versatility. They can be used as:
- Additional seating
- Compact side tables
- Footrests
- Decorative accents
Low stools sit at a similar height to a standard dining chair — typically between 42–45cm from the floor — making them suitable for use at dining tables and lower surfaces. Kitchen stools sit higher at around 60–65cm to suit standard bench heights, while bar stools are taller again at 65–75cm for bar and island settings.
Low stools are one of the most versatile seating options in the home. They work well as additional seating at the dining table, as a footrest or occasional side surface in the living room, as compact seating in smaller kitchens and home offices, or as flexible extra seating when entertaining.
Low stools are available in a range of materials including timber, metal and fabric upholstery. Timber and metal designs tend to be easier to maintain for everyday use, while fabric and upholstered options offer additional comfort for longer periods of seating.
