Kick Start Your 2014 Decorating With New Bar Stools

January 20, 2014

Bar Stools are popular furniture items and adding new ones can help you kick start your interior decorating for the New Year. New bar stools are a great way to spice up your home's interior! You'll find that our bar stools are fun and functional pieces of furniture. Stools come in many styles, shapes and sizes and finding the right height and style for your home's bar, pub table or counter is easier than you think!

There are several things you should consider when picking out your new bar stools. In our opinion, the most important part of picking out a new bar stool is the size.

What height should you purchase? Bar stools average a 30-inch high seat and counter stools average a 26-inch seat height. For comfort, you should use stools that are tall enough to sit comfortably, but not so tall that people's legs will be cramped underneath your table, bar or countertop.

How many stools should your purchase? That answer can depend on the amount of space you have to work with. Industry standard suggests that you allow 26 to 30 inches between the centers of each bar stool. This provides enough room for your guests and family to eat and socialize.

Now that you've measured the height of your table or countertop, it's time to consider what additional features you want your new stools to have. Do you want the option of having a Swivel Bar Stool or an Upholstered Bar Stool? If you expect to use your bar stools for entertaining it can be important that they be comfortable and have some sort of a swivel function, making them ready for conversation.

Handmade in Mexico, our Rustic Pine Bar Stools have been created using new, kiln-dried Ponderosa pine. It is finished with a rich, honey-colored furniture wax to bring the wood grain to life. All iron and hardware is hand-forged with a distressed, rust-colored finish. Every piece is 100% solid wood (no laminates, particle board, or veneers) for years of durable use.

If your long-legged cowboy enjoys swiveling while drinking his beer, then our Short Swivel Star Bar Stool is just right for you! Place it next to a kitchen island or one of our iron bistro tables. Wherever you choose to use this southwest-inspired stool you'll enjoy the elevated vantage point it gives you.

Simple and elegant, the Tall Santana Bar Stool is meant to be used around a bar or at a tall table, but it can also be used as an accent piece in any room of your home. You'll appreciate the sturdy handmade craftsmanship of this piece of southwestern furniture.

The Short Cantina Bar Stool is the perfect choice for using around a kitchen island, next to one of our southwestern bars, or for use in a hobby or workshop area...anywhere you need high and comfortable seating. You'll find that the solid pine construction is sturdy and durable.

Picture yourself sipping a margarita while seated on our Tall Texas Bar Stool w/ Inlaid Marble & Cushion. You'll think you're in a western movie, but it's right in your own home! This unique bar stool features a two-tone inlaid star on both sides of the backrest. The covered cushion and back slats make it extremely comfortable. The cushion fabric is durable, and the fabric color and rustic style will blend well with other furniture. The back features a beautifully inlaid marble star on both sides!

There are many places in a home where bar stools can add comfort, flexibility, and personal style. Many people around the globe use bar stools instead of chairs in their kitchen, living room, by the pool, or courtyard. Where will you use your new bar stools?
