Bar stools are common additions to a home with an entertaining area. They are the ideal furniture to help fill the room and make guests feel welcome. If you have a partition table, bar stools are essential to make the space look cohesive and comfortable.
At Total Direct, you will find various powder-coated steel bar stools with comfortable leather upholstery. The stools’ simple black and silver colour scheme fits minimalist, modern, and Scandinavian houses. They come with built-in footrests, enhancing comfort for a long catch-up session alongside a cup of tea.
What Should I Consider Before Choosing a Bar Stool?
Consider these factors before choosing:
- Comfort: Choose bar stools that are comfortable for sitting sessions. Consider choosing ones with padded foam underneath. Make sure that they have footrests to increase comfort.
- Design: Bar stools come in various designs. Make sure to choose the ones that suit your decor style. Most bar stools like Total Direct’s suit any decor style because of their simple but ergonomic design.
- Colour: It’s a good idea to match your bar stools with other furniture surrounding them. That way, your design looks cohesive and seamless. However, it’s not bad to mix and match, as long as the colours go together.
- Shapes and Edges: The shape of your bar stools also matter. Rounder corners and softer edges are safer for households with kids. Stools with sharper edges are aesthetically pleasing, making your space look clean and uncluttered.
- Range of Motion: Bar stools that are height-adjustable and rotatable are far more comfortable than static ones.
How Comfortable Are Bar Stools?
Bar stools are not designed like sofas or occasional chairs, but they are comfortable. Take Total Direct’s stools, for example. Our leather-clad upholstery has a thick padded foam underneath, supporting your weight and distributing it evenly, reducing strains in your lower back.
Moreover, the footrests ensure that your feet can rest comfortably. Plus, they are made with sturdy frames, like steel and wood. These materials are extremely stable, with little to no wobbling. This makes sitting on them a safe, comfortable experience.
How High Should My Bar Stools Be?
Normally, bar stools are 60-70cm tall. On the tall side, some go from 75-101 cm. Which one you choose is entirely up to your preferences. The taller your bar table, the taller your stool should be. Just keep in mind to allow at least 30-35 cm space between your table and stools.
