There are a number of ways to incorporate kitchen bar stools in your current kitchen. The stools can be used to provide additional seating or can serve as the only seating in your kitchen. If your kitchen features a breakfast bar, adding bar stools instantly creates an eat-in kitchen.
Shopping for a bar stool for your kitchen can be overwhelming for the indecisive shopper. There are kitchen bar stools available in several styles, heights and colors. Before purchasing a kitchen bar stool, there are a few things to consider.
What is the height of your counter?
Most often, when a bar stool is used in a kitchen, it is placed at a counter bar or mini bar area. If shopping for a counter stool, be sure to properly measure the height of the counter. Once you have the height of your counter, determine the amount of space needed between the stool and the counter. Purchasing a stool of the exact same measurement may not suit your needs.
Tip: Allowing an extra 12 inches allows for comfortable seating of individuals of various sizes.
How many stools will you need?
Access the seating space available and consider the following:
- - How many stools can properly fit in the allotted space?
- - Of those, how many stools can provide comfortable seating in the allotted space?
Although your counter may have space for four empty bar stools, this does not mean the seating would be comfortable for guests. Carefully consider the placement of your bar stools so that your guests, or family members, are not overly crowded when seated at the counter bar.

What style bar stool agrees with your current kitchen design?
It would not be reasonable to purchase black leather bar stools for a kitchen decorated in country décor. When shopping for bar stools, consider the current décor and design of your kitchen. If the current elements of your kitchen are stainless steel, try to find bar stools that compliment your stain less steel kitchen elements.
