Tips for choosing the right crutches

Because there are so many different types of bar stools, it's helpful to know what exactly you should consider when purchasing so you can narrow down your options. The ideal stool fits well with your bar or kitchen table, matches the style of your kitchen and has the right height for the countertop and the user. In this article you can read some tips that will help you in your search for the perfect stool.

Counter height

Does a bar stool that is not height-adjustable catch your eye? Then make sure that the stool matches the height of the bar or kitchen table. The stool should be just high enough so that the user sits comfortably, can easily grab a drink and rest their arms on the bar. Before you go to the store, it is useful to first measure the height of the counter.

Similarities with your style

The style of the bar should flow smoothly into the style of the rest of the house. Wooden bar stools suit a rustic interior, while metal or plastic stools suit a home with a modern look. Do you want stools that match both the type of home and the environment? Gray-colored bar stools fit beautifully with a house on the beach. Modern, metal bar stools are always a good match for a new-build apartment in a high-rise building.

Functions

A few simple functions can make a bar stool a lot more comfortable. When the stool is height adjustable, it becomes suitable for guests of any height. An added footrest gives the stool extra style and makes the stool more comfortable because your guests can place their feet somewhere. Swivel bar stools make it more comfortable for your guests to turn around and talk to each other.

Backrest type

You often see bar stools without backrests, especially when it comes to swivel bar stools. Depending on the look you want, you can choose stools with a low backrest or a high backrest. Bar stools with a low backrest look almost the same as stools without a backrest, but provide a certain amount of support for the back. Bar stools with a high back provide the most support, but give a different look.
