Why the right bar stools are essential for your kitchen island

Bar stools are so much more than just practical seating – they are the flavor enhancers that give your kitchen space a warm and personal character. The right bar stools make your kitchen island a real eye-catcher.

Kitchen islands are the beating heart of many homes these days – a place where people cook, eat and live. The bar stools you choose here not only determine how your kitchen looks, but also how cozy the get-together will be. Well-chosen bar stools invite you to sit down while cooking or to quietly enjoy a cup of coffee.

Beautiful bar stools bring elegance, style and personality to your kitchen and show who you are. A kitchen island without matching bar stools lacks that finishing touch that makes your interior complete.

Create atmosphere with beautiful fabrics and colours

With us you can choose from a world of fabrics for your bar stools. With more than 700 different fabric variants you will always find the perfect match for your interior!

Think of wonderfully soft velvet fabrics for a luxurious look, playful bouclé for a modern twist or subtly woven fabrics for a refined elegance. Choose your favorite combination that fits perfectly with the rest of your interior and your personal style.

For the bases you can choose from different materials such as black steel, brass or brushed metal. These give a nice contrast and add character to the space. Wooden elements in walnut or oak for example provide extra warmth and cosiness.

When choosing your ideal bar stools, you can consider:

  • How often you will use the bar stools
  • Whether there are children or pets in the house
  • How they match other elements in your kitchen
  • What atmosphere you want to create

The ideal height for comfort at your kitchen island

For daily comfort, it is important that your bar stools have the right height. We recommend about 25-30 cm of space between the seat of the bar stool and the bottom of your kitchen counter. This way you have enough legroom and you always sit comfortably.

Most kitchen islands have a height of around 90-95 cm. This means that bar stools with a seat height 65-70 cm are usually ideal. For higher bar tables (approximately 105-110 cm), bar stools with a seat height of 80-85 cm are more suitable. Therefore, first measure the exact height of your kitchen island before choosing your dream stools.

In addition to the correct height, there are several elements that contribute to your seating comfort:

  • Footrests provide stability and relaxation while sitting
  • A comfortable seat makes sitting for long periods of time pleasant
  • Backrests provide extra support during cozy evenings
  • Armrests provide extra comfort, especially for crutches that are used frequently

Allow about 50-60cm between each bar stool so that everyone can sit comfortably without getting in each other’s way. This will create a cozy setting where everyone feels at home.

Which style suits your interior?

The style of your bar stools should match the rest of your interior for a harmonious whole. There are different styles that each give their own character to your kitchen island.

Minimalist bar stools are characterized by sleek lines and simple shapes. They are perfect for modern interiors where 'less is more' is the starting point. Think of slim frames with seats in calm tones.

Art Deco inspired bar stools bring luxury and glamour to your kitchen with rich materials and beautiful patterns. This style adds a touch of elegance and character to your kitchen.

Mid-century bar stools have organic shapes and warm materials such as wood. Their timeless look makes them suitable for both traditional and modern interiors.

Contemporary bar stools combine elements from different styles and offer a nice balance between comfort and appearance.

When choosing a style, you can pay attention to:

  • The style of your home
  • The colours that are already present in your kitchen
  • Your personal taste and the atmosphere you want to create
  • How to use space in everyday life

This is how you create a harmonious whole in your kitchen

For a warm and inviting overall look, it is important that your bar stools blend in nicely with the rest of your kitchen. A well-thought-out combination ensures a cozy, atmospheric space.

First consider whether your bar stools are a eye-catcher or should subtly blend in with the whole. Eye-catchers can have a striking colour or special shape that contrasts with the kitchen. More subtle bar stools fit in seamlessly with what is already there.

Colors are very important for a cohesive look. You can choose:

  • Tone-sur-tone: bar stools in the same colour family as your kitchen for a calm atmosphere
  • Contrasting colours: bar stools that create a beautiful contrast with your kitchen
  • Accent colours: bar stools that pick up and enhance a colour accent from your kitchen

Materials also play an important role. Choose materials that are already in your kitchen. Does your kitchen have brass details? Then think of bar stools with brass accents. Wooden elements in your kitchen? Choose bar stools with the same type of wood for a harmonious whole.

Also look at the shapes in your kitchen. A sleek, modern kitchen requires bar stools with cleaner lines, while a more classic kitchen combines beautifully with bar stools with softer shapes.

Balance is the key word – not everything has to match perfectly. By consciously playing with contrasts in material, colour or shape, you create an interior with character and personality.
