Many kitchens these days have a sort of bar that offers a space for kids to have snacks while not actually in the kitchen. These are a neat design feature that many families have made very good use of, but they are all but useless without kitchen bar stools.
To choose the right stools, you'll need to take a good look at the kitchen style and decide what material you want. Metal and wood are the two main options, though you can often choose plastic, as well. Metal is going to stand up longer, so it works well for families with children.
Once the material has been selected, look at the style. You want something that will be similar to the design of the bar. If it's a country style, you might want to look for stools that are country in style, as well. The idea here is to really make them fit right in, plus make the kitchen a place where people are invite to stay.
Another decision is whether or not you want backs on the stools. There are plenty of chairs that come with just the seats, but if you have kids, then it might be best to get backs. Little kids tend to lose their balance easily and the back on a stool could prevent a nasty fall, the same works for oldely people or drunk friends.
Height will depend on the kitchen bar. Essentially, you want something that gives you a comfortable space for your legs under the table and which works well for eating without forcing you to hunch. Sit at your kitchen table and measure the length from your legs to the table to get a good idea of how much space you need.
Kitchen bar stools are a great addition to any kitchen and can change it from being a solitary place to an area that invites people to hang out with the cook. This is great to socialize specially during food preparation when the cook needs to be on the kitchen and also wants to talk and socialize with their friends.
