Barstools

Bar stools in different materials

Bar stools come in a variety of materials, including wood, metal, plastic and leather. Wooden stools are often made from sturdy oak or mahogany and finished with a varnish or lacquer for protection. Metal stools are typically made from stainless steel, iron or aluminium and are powder-coated to prevent rust. Plastic bar stools are lightweight and easy to clean, making them perfect for the kitchen or outdoors. Leather stools are durable and add a touch of elegance, which makes them a favourite in bars and restaurants.

Tips for choosing your bar stools

Several trends define today’s bar stool design. Think of minimalist models with clean lines, or industrial stools made from raw materials like wood and metal for a rugged look. Retro stools are also popular again, often featuring bucket seats or upholstered backs reminiscent of the '50s and '60s. For optimal comfort, look for stools with ergonomic seats, adjustable heights or footrests. Whatever your preference, there’s a bar stool to match your interior.

Looking for bar stools?

If you’re shopping for a new bar stool, consider where you’ll be using it — at a kitchen island or in a stylish bar or restaurant? Make sure to match the height of the stool with your table or bar top for comfortable seating. Material and colour should align with your interior style. For extra comfort, opt for a model with a backrest and/or armrests. And always check the quality to ensure lasting enjoyment of your purchase.

Bar stools with backrests

Bar stools with backrests offer added comfort and support, especially when sitting for longer periods. Some models also include armrests for extra ease. When choosing, be sure the height of the backrest matches your table or bar. Style and material should also blend in with your interior. A stool with a backrest brings not only extra comfort but also a stylish and practical seating option to your kitchen or bar area.
