Bar stools for the kitchen (49 photos): how to choose the right color for the shape

Modern kitchen is not only a place for cooking, but also a relaxation area. Everything in it should be perfect, starting with the interior and ending with the accessories that adorn the kitchen. New high technologies have given impetus to decorating kitchens with unusual furniture and appliances for post-Soviet people. This element can be attributed to wooden bar counters. More or less wealthy citizens have long equipped kitchen facilities with this decor element.

Features of bar stool chairs

The height of any bar counter is greater than that of a simple table. This means that bar stools for the kitchen, located near it, must meet certain criteria. This is necessary for a comfortable fit and the ability to reach with your hands to any point on the rack. Bar stools that do not meet these criteria are unusable.

  • The height of the chair should correspond to the height of the rack. Too high or low chairs will not allow you to sit for a long time without feeling tired.
  • The chair should have a footrest. It is also necessary for a comfortable fit, if it is not provided for in the design of the chair, then the seated person will constantly slide down.
  • It is desirable that the high chairs have a swivel mechanism. This is an optional requirement, but it will not be redundant in any case.
  • Adjustable height. A useful function, the role and importance of which does not need comments.

Kitchen bar stools that meet these criteria will surely appeal to all guests visiting the house.

Materials for chairs

There are many options and each of them is magnificent in its own way. Tall chairs are usually made of wood. Such wooden seats, the height of which is finely adjustable, look solid and prestigious. Moreover, they are environmentally friendly, because all the substances used to process wooden parts comply with strict safety standards.

The second most common material is metal. Such chairs fit well into many kitchen designs, the most preferred of which are:

  • High tech;
  • Techno
  • Cosmo.

These chairs are much stronger than those made of wood. I must say that tall wooden chairs themselves are not very reliable and easily scratched, and also get chipped even from weak blows.

Plastic is the material that accompanies kitchen interiors from Soviet times. Today, he has not lost its relevance. The good news is that today plastic products are much better than even ten years ago. Such bar stools for the kitchen are in good harmony with modern design solutions, especially made using wood.

These design options, of course, are not the only ones that are used in the production of bar stools. Some exotic models are made of plexiglass or pressed paper. But such products are very expensive and look no better than wooden ones.

First of all, those materials from which classical chairs for bar drains are made should be:

  1. Environmentally friendly.
  2. Resistant to water and direct sunlight.
  3. Durable.
  4. Durable
  5. Have a nice appearance.

You also need to consider the design features of the interior.

Varieties of bar stool chairs

Seats for bar counters are conditionally divided into stools and chairs. The difference is that the former lack a back. This is an unsuccessful decision, since it is impossible to sit on such a stool for a long time, the back is numb, although their height is the same, their sizes too.

Another criterion that separates bar stools for the kitchen is the ability to stack them. This is important for those rooms in which there is a shortage of free space. This solution does not allow you to turn the kitchen into a furniture warehouse.

Seat shape

There are many options, ranging from classic to very sophisticated: an asterisk or a tiger stencil. Needless to say, such chairs are not very comfortable, it is better to dwell on the classics.

Round chairs are comfortable for seating and do not cause back fatigue with prolonged use. Furniture items of this form look modern and harmonize well with any interior. They express lightness and mobility.

Square seats are no less common, but have a slightly different concept. Chairs of this shape look solid, they are suitable for unhurried people who prefer vintage interiors. These chairs are considered as comfortable as possible, the main thing is that the height is correctly selected.

Number of legs

The classic version is a chair with four legs. It is securely fixed on the floor and does not sway when sloppy movements of a person sitting on it. Such chairs are large, which means they are not highly mobile.

Three-legged chairs are lighter and more mobile than those with four legs. Their appearance is also more dynamic. This option is more suitable for bright and lively interiors.

There are high chairs that do not have legs, but are located on the plate, less often - on some mini-composition of wire plexus or plastic. This is a rather interesting option that goes well with different interiors. However, the mobility of such chairs leaves much to be desired; moving them is frankly inconvenient.

Regardless of the shape of the seat, the chair can be soft and hard. It all depends on the design style of the room and the desire of the buyer. It is worth noting that those chairs that have soft upholstery, with prolonged sitting, cause a feeling of fatigue in the back. This is easy to avoid if the chair height is correctly selected.

The choice of chairs, taking into account the interior

It would be foolish to put a high-tech metal chair in the kitchen, made in the style of English vintage. Harmony is the main thing when choosing any piece of furniture, including chairs for a bar.

  • For kitchens with bright lighting and white tones, high chairs made of white metal are best suited. They complement the overall interior and add extra light notes to it. Light wood chairs are also suitable here.
  • Wooden chairs are perfect for those kitchens that are designed in moderate colors and carry silence with a muffled light.
  • Non-standard kitchens require non-standard bar stools. If the room is made in the style of a starship, which is not such an exotic solution in our time, then you need to find the appropriate models of bar furniture. You can order an individual design from the manufacturer, taking into account the required dimensions.

Bar stools for the kitchen must be comfortable and stylish, compact and mobile. Design ideas that give a unique look to both the room itself and the furniture inside it will also be useful. The choice of a chair for a bar counter is an important decision that you need to approach responsibly and prudently!
