What style of kitchen bar stool is most comfortable?
This may depend on your preference, but bar stools with a curved back are easier to sit back on. You can get higher-backed bar stools if you’d prefer extra support, or you might find a low-backed bar stool provides more freedom. Our Casa collection has bar stools with a padded back and seat or just a simple design, so whatever your comfort needs are, we have the right bar stools for you.
What should you look for in a bar stool?
For a bar stool, make sure you have the right support for your back and your feet too. Leekes kitchen bar stools all come with a bar to rest your feet on and we have a range of stools with backs for extra comfort. Take a look at fabrics too. A leather effect bar stool is perfect for an easy clean and is durable as well.
How to choose the right size bar stool for your kitchen?
You can easily make sure your new bar stool works well with your current kitchen island and will be a comfortable addition to your space. Measure the counter height, then check the dimensions listed on your favourite kitchen bar stool page. Pay attention to the stool height, but also to the leg room available. The leg room space is the gap between the stool's height and the upper edge of the counter and it should be between 25-30cm for that comfortable seating experience.
How do you match kitchen bar stools to your kitchen?
You don’t always have to match by colour. Choose bold-coloured bar stools for a pop of colour in a neutral room. Or if you want to add some dark colours and textures, padded faux leather in dark red or blue is perfect. For smaller rooms, low-backed bar stools will keep your room looking open whilst still looking stylish. Complete your kitchen with kitchen storage, tableware and drinkware which will help your bar blend in with the rest of your kitchen.
