If you want a slick, expensive-looking interior scheme, you want you pieces of furniture to be from the same range so that everything looks harmonious.

It’s especially important if you’re furnishing a commercial space like a bar or restaurant – having matching bar stools and chairs, for example can make the difference the place between ’so-so’ and ‘wow’.

Below are some of our most popular matching chairs and bar stools – from the ultra modern acrylic to the more traditional upholstered leather.

Coco A Frame bar stool, matching chair available

1. The Coco range

This retro-styled modern classic is a friendly shape which would look amazing in a bar or cafe. The gantle curves make it really comfortable, and the stainless steel frame / base makes it a very designer-looking choice.

Coco A Frame chair, matching bar stool available

The Coco A-frame seat (which features on both the chair and bar stool versions) features an attractive retro-styled UV-resistant multilayer composite technopolymer shell. Available in solid black acrylic or transparent red, orange, green or smoke acrylic.

Domi chair, matching bars stool available

2. The Domi range

The Domi is a chic, sophisticated and very glossy-looking range, with a padded back and seat and an elegant chrome frame. The bar stool has foot rests all the way around.

It’s the perfect choice for a really classy bar or club environment, and could really help to set the tone in your venue. It’s also a great choice for a home breakfast bar or kitchen seating.

The upholstery is faux leather, a serviceable and practical choice, and is available in a huge range of colours.

This is Italian furniture at its best, and very hard-wearing – just what you want in a busy commercial environment, or in your home for that matter.

Candess bar stool, matching chair available

3. The Candess range

We love the stylish elegant curves of this modern gas lift bar stool and the matching chairs.

If you are looking for a comfortable seat and don’t want to compromise on quality then this range ticks all the boxes.

Available in quality faux leather or real leather.

Samba bar stool, matching chairs available

5. The Samba range

A stylish modern range which we’ve sourced from Italy, the Samba is the perfect piece of seating to add the WOW factor. Available with highly polished chrome legs and technopolymer plastic seat (which is available in a variety of colours) both the chair and bar stool would look great in any domestic or commercial environment. Because the chair has a stackable function it would definitely suit a restaurant or cafe.

At Danetti we’re used to helping people furnish their homes – both big and small, and we love the challenge of sourcing items that will help to make your living space a much nicer place to be.

We thought we’d draw your attention to a few of our pieces that are either so neat in proportion that they look good even in tiny flats, and also to a couple of our multi-functional products that save space because they can be used for different purposes.

Bodil sofa with metal arms

COMPACT SEATING

First up, we wanted to show you the Bodil sofa – it’s fantastic for small living rooms because it doesn’t have the enormous padded arms that you find on many sofas, which can take up a metre of your valuable space if you’re not careful – instead it has neat metal arms. The seat and back rest is just as comfortable as a regular sofa though.

Emery contemporary nest of tables

OCCASIONAL TABLES

Next, a modern nest of tables – the Emery set – which are very useful in small homes. While you may think of nests of tables as something your grandmother used to have for putting bowls of peanuts around the living room at Christmas time, they’ve moved on, and are still actually a  useful thing to have if you need extra surfaces when you have people over, but want them out of the way the rest of the time. The Emery nest of tables is fantastic value for money and has three tables, each with a chrome frame and glass top.

The stackable Silvi plastic bar stool

STACKABLE STOOLS

If it’s seating that you need, then consider bar stools – these Silvi plastic bar stools are cool, contemporary and great value for money, plus they’re stackable so they’re a great temporary seating solution if you have a party or friends over, but can be compactly stored when not in use.Generally, bar stools can be a very good idea if you have a small home. When teamed with a wall-mounted slim-line bar table, they can provide you with somewhere to sit for meals without taking up much floor space.

The versatile Somen coffee table - use as a table, for storage or as a stool

THREE-IN-ONE

Next, take a look at this tri-purpose product – it’s a stool, table and storage unit all in one! The Somen coffee table can be opened to store magazines, toys, blankets, or whatever you like, and it can be flipped over to make a comfy padded stool. It’s ideal for modern homes, and it’s a very popular option for our commercial clients as well, as it’s ideal for bars and clubs.

The Pollock multi-form extending table - closed

SHAPE SHIFTER

Flexibility is important in a small home – sometimes you’ll need a large dining table, but probably not all the time, and when you don’t need one, you don’t want it dominating your room. A great option is to go for an extending table. The Pollock Multiform table is amazing because it can be used as a coffee table, extended to make a formal dining table , or even just half extended, so you have two separate surfaces – great for parties!

We’ve just caught up with a recent client of ours, Andy, who runs Champers wine bar in Eastcote Middlesex.

He did a partial refurbishment of Champers using Danetti furniture, with sofas, chairs and bar stools in a combination of mulberry and cream upholstery, and says that the result is chic and sophisticated.

“We didn’t want to do a full refurb, just an update – we kept the same bar and flooring, so we wanted new furniture to give the place a new look.

“We chose the mulberry and cream colour scheme to compliment the Farrow & Ball paint we were using on the walls, and the result is a sophisticated interior, which we’ve had very positive feedback on from our regulars.

“We think the Danetti furniture definitely creates a good first impression at Champers, which is really important to us.”

If you want to check out the new furniture at Champers, or enjoy a cocktail or a bottle of wine and some live music (which is probably more likely, if we’re honest), then you can find out more about the place here, or visit them at 184 Field End Road, Eastcote.

We’ll try to get a few pictures of Champers on our blog  in the near future.

Modena Bar Stool from Danetti - suitable for commercial use

If you’re the owner of a bar, or an interior designer charged with decorating and furnishing  a bar, we think you’re going to like what we have on offer.

We’ve trawled the furniture fairs and hunted down all the best European and high quality furniture makers and gathered together a selection of commercial quality bar stools that’s second to none.

Whether you want free-standing bar stools with fixed height legs, gas lift bar stools that can be adjusted to suit different table heights, or floor-fixed bar stools that will remain exactly where you want them, then we’ve got lots of options for you to choose from.

Colour is also our speciality – many of our bar stools are available in a host of modern and classic colours – from black, red and cream, through to purple, royal blue and yellow. Whatever the style you’re looking to create in your bar, restaurant or club, we’ll have something suitable.

Another benefit of shopping with Danetti is that we can often supply chairs or short stools in the same style and upholstery as our bar stools, which allows you to create a co-ordinated look.

For advice on making your space the most popular in town, just give us a  call.

Blue Emo chair

Coco flat chair in red

RED

The Coco flat chair is a retro-styled modern classic, with a friendly informal shape which will give any space a very cool vibe and make it a place you want to be.

With its gentle curves, semi-transparent material and smooth texture, we think the Coco will fit into any home or work environment, and would be great for use in waiting areas, bars and cafes.

This version of the Coco is the pedestal chair, which has an attractive UV-resistant multi-layer composite acrylic shell, mounted on a swivel and gas-lift pedestal with a sturdy circular base.

Here are a few of our favourite orange pieces on Danetti right now …

Coco A frame dining chair

1. The Coco A frame chair

We love the retro-styling of the  Coco A frame chair. With its gentle curves and smooth textures, the Coco fits into any home or work environment, as well as waiting areas, bars and cafes. It’s available in solid black acrylic or transparent red, orange, green or smoke acrylic. It looks great when placed near a window as the light streams through, making the colour glow.

The Podo plastic dining chair comes in orange

2. The Podo dining chair

The Podo dining chair is a beautiful piece of modern dining furniture that’s simple and stylish as all contemporary furniture should be. It’s made from Polypropylene and is available in many colours including white, black, red, orange green and blue. Buying a set of these plastic dining chairs will instantly revive a tired looking kitchen, dining room or restaurant and those in the know about design are definitely going to appreciate seeing a set of these when they walk through the door! Podo dining chairs are even hardy enough to be used in an outdoors, and are easily stackable when not in use.

Spartan bar stool in orange

3. Spartan bar stool

This retro bar stool is perfect for any funky club or cafe, or for the home as part of a contemporary kitchen breakfast bar area. The strong chrome legs that extend from the padded seat add a futuristic feel to the stool and make it really stable and comfortable to perch on. This stool is available in various colours of faux leather including juicy orange, as pictured.

The Alto flat duo bench - beautiful contemporary furniture design

4. Alto flat duo bench

This is one really good looking piece of furniture, we think you’ll agree. It’s part of the Alto range, which includes a chair, sofa and panchina available as part of this collection, each coming in a wide range of colours. Your choice of faux leather is upholstered over a metal frame and polyurethane cold injected moulded foam for superb comfort and long-lasting good looks. We can just imagine the Alto gracing a shop, hotel lobby, waiting area or stylish home.

PLEASE NOTE : Many of our items of furniture can be upholstered as you wish, so even if the product specifications do not mention orange, we should be able to help you. Just call us on 08707 605 701 for more information.

Glam: the Bermuda faux leather swivel bar stool

If you have a teenage daughter and you’ve ever had the honour (or should that be misfortune?) of having a group of teenage girls getting ready for a night out in your home, you’ll know the scene all too well: hair straighteners plugged into every power point, clothes, glitter and lipgloss strewn everywhere, hair-dryers blasting and girls sat on beds, tables and the floor.

If this sounds familiar, we’ve got a product suggestion that may make the night out preparations a little more ordered and sophisticated. Our glam faux leather bar stools will transform the bedroom into a mini beauty parlour, the girls can sit on them and have their hair and makeup done by each other while perched in front of the mirror. Bar stools which swivel are best as the girls can turn around as the straighteners or tongs are used on all sides.

We’ve just started stocking a very funky bar stool called ‘Bermuda’ – it’s faux leather and comes in white or black with a gas-lift base for adjusting the height, a 360 degree swivel and a supportive back. It’s a great value option too, so we think it’s the ideal product for making a home beauty parlour.

The only trouble is, your home will become the most popular place for all the girls to get ready, so be prepared!

Zeta contemporary dining table - great for a kitchen diner

The kitchen-diner has become common-place in modern British homes. Most of us like to have a large space where we can entertain guests around a large dining table or more informally on bar stools while we prepare food in the kitchen.

We had a chat with our fave interiors writer and stylist Rohini Wahi about the trend.

“Most homes I research these days have a kitchen diner,” she says, “they have become such an integral part of modern living – relaxed, fun and certainly more social.”

We agree with her. There’s something exciting and about entertaining in a kitchen-diner that you can’t achieve when the two spaces are separate.

There are a few things that you need to consider when decorating and buying furniture for your kitchen-diner, however.

First, what kind of look do you want to go for? Rohini says: “Emerging trends appear to be sleek and minimal in design but warming up the space are materials rooted in nature. Elements like reclaimed wood counter-tops are coupled with warming modern accessories in soft gold, brushed-metal pendant lights, or groups of vintage industrial lights hung over sleek marble counters.”

Mmm, we like the sound of that. Contemporary furniture mixed with elements from nature like real wood and marble.

Esprit leather bar stool would work well at a breakfast bar

Second, you need to consider the type of furniture to buy. In a kitchen-dining space it’s best to opt for a range of seating, so you can use the space in different ways. Ideally, you should go for a breakfast bar or drinks area with bar stools in the kitchen so people can sit and chat with you while you cook. You should also try to have a modern sofa and coffee table somewhere, so you can have a leisurely sit down and read a magazine while you’re waiting for your food to cook. Last but not least you need a large dining table with plenty of contemporary dining chairs so you can host dinner parties to remember.

Etti Square dining table is a neat choice for a smaller kitchen-diner

Rohini says the way you style the space is all-important as well. “The key is to warm-up the once minimal diner reserved only for bachelor or city living, by mixing elements of modernity with tradition and choosing pieces that flow well in your colour scheme,” she says.

If you want to furnish a kitchen-diner in your home, but need a little inspiration and advice, have a chat to us here at Danetti. We’re happy to help.

Salve bar stool by Danetti

Here at Danetti, we like to get to know our customers. We chat to them about their interior design schemes and try to get a feel for how their use their living space.What they tell us time after time is that space is really precious in their homes. For many of them, one main room has to work as kitchen, sitting room, dining room and play room. They often don’t want enormous furniture taking up their valuable floor space. And our customers also want the flexibility of having items of furniture that can be brought out when they have friends and family over, but then neatly stacked away when they’ve gone.

Something we specialise in at Danetti, and which we often recommend to our customers, is bar stools. Forget any notion you have of bar stools being uncomfortable and unstable. The ones we stock often come with four solid legs, arm rests and foot rests, and some of them have backs to make them just as comfy as dining chairs. And you’ll be able to find one that looks great, because many of our bar stools are available in several colours – sometimes you can even customise the legs and arms so you get just what you want.

Bar stools work as occasional seating for guests, for tucking under a breakfast bar in you kitchen-diner, for positioning around a small high-rise dining table, and even just for adding a few seats to your current kitchen area. That’s the flexibility our customers wanted. We aim to please!
