Barstools: Not Just At The Bar
Barstools are primarily used as space saving seating in the kitchen and den area, or perhaps a basement sports bar. They are generally lightweight, made from wood, aluminum, or chrome. They are also less expensive than solid dining chairs, and have a sleek, neat look. In those tight kitchen spaces, they’re an obvious fit. Barstools tuck under counters easily. They line up against the wall snugly. They’re comfortable and fun. So why haven’t they been introduced to other rooms of the house?
They have. In small houses and apartments that simply don’t have space for full dining sets without banging ankles, modern barstools have become a popular choice. They function as dining chairs, living room seating, extra chairs for the bedroom as well.
With a counter height table, wood barstools are a beautiful way to keep a classy dining look while saving money, and space. Wood barstools come in all finishes, stylish frames, and can even be upholstered for optimal comfort. Tempo barstools are the other option. Fully upholstered, from any textile, with frames that include high, comfortable backs and even armrests! The only giveaway that it’s a barstool is height. A bachelor’s pad may even appreciate the cowboy rustic of saddle seat barstools for dining set. In fact, any backless barstools can be used as an artistic choice as living or dining room furniture. Another great style is the rattan barstool. With a low back and wide, padded seat, the rattan is comfortable and has a decidedly unique touch.
Even without a tall table, you can usually find all of the above among adjustable barstools; adjust the seat height for what you need when you need it! And don’t forget the added feature only found in barstools: they swivel! Kids love this. Adults do too, whether they admit it or not.
Black barstools are the classic color to choose. Not only do they save space, they look like they take no space. Black is slimming, and not just when you’re wearing it. It opens up your living area, and always looks put together. Even when upholstery or backs are of a contrasting color, a black frame is a sleek look. Wood is perfect for a homey look. Silver and other colors are more sterile and contemporary looking.
So here’s the decision. Cheap barstools that save space and look great, or pricey wooden dining chairs that are clunky, difficult to move, and even more difficult to maintain? Barstools are the answer.
