subject: Choosing The Perfect Bar Stools For Your New Kitchen [print this page] Choosing the perfect set of bar stools for your newly designed kitchen can be a difficult task if you want the bar stools to match perfectly with your kitchen, so today I will be going over a few ways that will help you pick the perfect bar stools to complete your brand new kitchen!
The first thing you will want to decide on is the colour; it has to match the colour of your kitchen in some shape or form. So the easiest and most popular thing to do is to match the bar stools colour with either your cabinet doors or your work surface, another option is to pick a complimentary colour that still fits in with the colour scheme of your kitchen.
The next step is to decide if the bar stools are going to be Leather, Faux Leather or just plastic/wooden seat tops. If youre matching your bar stools to a wooden theme, youll want to look at wooden bar stools over anything else. Leather bar stools come in two type real leather or faux leather, generally faux leather is cheaper, more durable and easier to clean but it doesnt have the same feel as real leather bar stools.
Now youve decided the colour, the seat top material of your bar stools its time to pick a style of bar stool. Bar stools come in a large variety of styles, such as weighted bases which are much more stable than the more traditional (and cheaper) trumpet bases, the other advantage of weighted bases is that they are harder to damage trumpet bases generally will be easily dented if the bar stools are not looked after properly.
There are still more factors to consider when buying bar stools, such as the seat height in comparison to the height of your counter where the bar stools will be placed & whether you want gas lift bar stools or fixed height seats, the advantage with gas lift seats is you can almost completely get away from the seat height issue.
With a little luck, you know have a good idea on what you need to look for when buying bar stools and that you can take this newly gained knowledge and purchase the perfect stools for your new kitchen.
