These bar stools don’t demand attention - they just help everything feel more pulled together and more settled.
Frequently Asked Questions
First, measure the height of your counter or table. For a kitchen bench around 90cm tall, go for stools with a seat height near 65cm. Bar tables that sit closer to 105cm will suit a 75cm stool. You’ll want around 25 to 30cm between the seat and the underside of the counter to sit comfortably. Most of our stools come in a couple of height options so you can find what fits.
Look for materials that are tough but still easy to live with. Powder-coated steel and moulded polypropylene are solid choices, while sealed timber offers both durability and warmth. Upholstered options in performance fabric or vegan leather give you that extra bit of comfort without making cleaning a chore. These stools are built for spaces that see a lot of life.
You can and it often looks better when you do. Mixing styles adds character and makes the space feel more relaxed. Try keeping one thing consistent - maybe colour or material - to tie it all together. You might mix the same design in two colours or pair different stools with similar shapes or finishes. Just keep the seat height and scale in line. And if you’re not sure what works we’re here to help you figure it out. If you need help or advice, let us know.
