Bar Stool Sets

To determine the ideal bar stool height, measure the distance from the floor to the underside of your bar or counter. Subtract 25-30cm from this measurement - the result is the recommended seat height for your bar stool. For a standard kitchen counter height of 89-91cm, a bar stool with a seat height of 61-66cm is usually suitable. For bar heights of 101-107cm, choose a bar stool with a seat height of 71-76cm. And if your bar is even higher, around 114-122cm, look for bar stools with seat heights of 81-86cm. Always check the product's page for specific measurements and dimensions, as some products may differ. For more information visit our blog post.

The best way to clean your bar stools depends on the upholstery material. For velvet, regular light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment helps prevent dust build-up. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth, avoiding rubbing. Faux leather is generally easy to care for - wipe down with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which could damage the finish. For both velvet and faux leather, it's best to test any cleaning method on a small, inconspicuous area first. Always check the product's page for specific care and cleaning recommendations, as some materials may have special requirements.

Coordinating your bar stools with your dining chairs and decor creates a harmonious look. Consider using the same upholstery material, such as velvet, faux leather, or boucle, for both. If you prefer different materials, aim for a complementary colour palette - if your dining chairs are a neutral grey fabric, grey faux leather bar stools would tie in nicely. Similarly, match metal finishes between the stool base and dining chair legs for a cohesive feel. You could also echo accent colours from your decor, like cushions or artwork, in the bar stool upholstery or frame for a subtle connection. Don't be afraid to play with texture - if your dining chairs are smooth leather, consider textured boucle bar stools in a similar colour for an interesting contrast while maintaining a coordinated aesthetic.

Different bar stool bases offer various advantages. A four-legged base provides excellent stability and a classic look, ideal for traditional or rustic settings. A central pedestal base with a footrest offers a sleek, modern aesthetic and allows for easy leg movement and tucking in. Cantilever bases create a contemporary, minimalist feel and can free up visual space. Swivel bases add functionality, making it easy to turn and converse. When choosing, consider your space and the level of support and mobility you desire. Built-in floor protectors prevent scratches, a feature present in many of our bar stools.
