Bar Stools & Kitchen Stools Questions And Answers
CAN YOU MIX BAR STOOLS?
A little while ago, mix and match dining chairs were all the rage, this trend it seems even extended all the way to bar stools. Whilst mixing and matching bar stools isn't for everyone, it most definitely is something that can be done to create a point of difference in your stool styling. When mixing and matching bar stools it is best that you don't just go crazy, there does still need to be some order to your creativity. Whether that comes from using the same shape stool, perhaps in different colours or different stools in similar shapes but all constructed from the same material. This is vital for maintaining a cohesive look and clean visual line throughout your interiors.
HOW MANY COUNTER STOOLS DO I NEED?
To determine how many stools you need at your counter space there is one hard and fast rule set in stone by the home decor experts. It is recommended that you allow 28-30 inches for each stool space at your bench/counter. Measure up your counter length and divide it by 30 to figure out how many stools will comfortably fit in the allotted space that you have. (i.e if your counter is 90 inches long then you can fit 3 stools within the space) No matter how tempted you are to add more it is always best to err on the side of caution and keep in mind that you don't want to block visual flow nor walkways and you most certainly don't want to make your kitchen feel cramped!
WHAT HEIGHT ARE BAR STOOLS?
In Australia bench heights are fairly standardised, making stool height selection incredibly easy. The most common Australian standard kitchen bench height is 90cm (or 900mm) and the ideal stool height for this bench measurement is a stool that has a seat height of approximately 65cm. These specifications allow 25cm for leg room between the seat and the bench height, which should be more than ample. The second standard Australian bench measurement height is a little taller and sits at 105cm (or 1050mm) This is commonly seen in fragmented breakfast nook benches, island benches with specific underneath storage or bar tables. The chair height that sits perfectly with this bench measurement is a stool with a seat height of approximately 75cm to ensure adequate space between your legs, knees and the kitchen bench base.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT KITCHEN STOOL?
Choosing the right kitchen stool for your interior is an entirely personal process, however, there are a few things that do need to be taken into consideration. Kitchens tend to be dominant in terms of style and it is best to have a clear grasp of your kitchen's style before you begin to select stools as they are vital supporting furniture items within the interior of your kitchen. It would be no good choosing ultra modern metal and timber stools to pair back with your provincial style kitchen, would it? Also, keep in mind the purpose of your stools, if your children will be dining at them then it is better to select stools made from more durable materials that can be easily cleaned such as timber or leather. Let your ideas on stool function help to determine the style of stool you need, do you want a stool with a back and arms for added support or just a stool base? Do you need something with a heavier anchoring point or are light easy to move stools more suitable to your needs? Ideally, the stools you choose should support and enhance your interior aesthetic whilst providing ample functionality within your space.
