I love the visual effect that bar stools can add to interior decoration. Perhaps it’s their contrast with the rest of the room, or maybe just they look stylish.

The styling of bar stools has evolved over time, and today’s designs are so attractive and ‘groovy’ looking that you feel like you ought have some by the side of your living room. Some stools have sidebars and setbacks, thus imparting a rather nice, smooth flowing tubular look, while others may be somewhat ’squattish’ and stand out bold. Their emphasis on beauty and artistry keep enhancing.

However, comfort always takes priority over style, and when you’re shopping for a set of bar stools, it’s better not to let the gush of excitement make the purchase decision for you. For example, if your bar counter is 46″ high, then the most appropriate stool would be 34″. To give optimum comfort to the person sitting, a rule-of-thumb is to maintain a gap of 9-13″ between the seat and the counter.
