Bar Stools In Time For Christmas

To choose the right bar stool height, measure from the floor to the underside of your bar or counter. You'll want a 25-30cm gap between the seat of the stool and the counter. For a standard kitchen counter (89-91cm high), choose a bar stool around 61-67cm high. For bar tables (101-106cm high), opt for a 71-76cm stool height. Extra tall bars (114-122cm) require stools around 81-86cm high. Remember to factor in spacing - allow roughly 53-63cm between each stool for comfortable seating. Always check the product's page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ. For more information visit our blog post.

Drape faux fur throws or festive blankets over your bar stools for a cosy, inviting touch. Add small wreaths or sprigs of holly to the backs of the stools for a pop of Christmas colour. For a touch of sparkle, intertwine battery-operated fairy lights around the stool frames. Consider placing festive cushions on the seats for added comfort and cheer. You can also create a festive centrepiece for your bar or kitchen island, incorporating candles, pinecones, and seasonal ornaments to complement the decorated stools.

Counter stools and bar stools differ primarily in height. Counter stools typically range from 61-66cm high, designed for kitchen counters or islands that are around 90-95cm high. Bar stools are taller, usually 71-76cm high, suitable for bar tables or counters around 100-105cm high. To determine the right height, measure the height of your counter or table. Ideally, there should be a 25-30cm difference between the seat and the counter/table top. Consider the stool's style and material to match your existing decor - whether it's sleek metal, warm wood, or upholstered fabric.

To keep your bar stools looking their best over Christmas, regular cleaning is key. Start by wiping down the frame and legs with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. For upholstery like fabric or velvet, gently vacuum or use a soft brush attachment to remove crumbs and dust. If spills occur, blot immediately with a clean cloth and avoid rubbing. For tougher stains, a mild detergent solution can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Leather and faux leather can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and a suitable leather cleaner if necessary. Metal frames can be polished with a suitable metal cleaner. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.
