Bar stools for the kitchen and kitchen island
Create the right atmosphere in your home with the perfect bar stools
Bar stools as part of the interior
Bar stools are more than just seating. They are a natural part of your interior and help set the tone in your kitchen or dining area. Whether you’re looking for leather bar stools, wooden bar stools for the kitchen island, or modern metal bar stools, there are solutions that combine comfort and design.
Today, bar stools in the kitchen are not just practical, they create a relaxed atmosphere and turn the room into a natural gathering place in everyday life. It’s where morning coffee is enjoyed, children do their homework, and conversations last a little longer than planned.
How to choose the right bar stools for your kitchen
When choosing bar stools for your kitchen, you should first consider the height of your countertop. A good rule of thumb is to allow around 25–30 cm between the seat and the tabletop.
Our bar stools are available in two heights:
- 68 cm – typically suited for kitchen islands around 95 cm high
- 73 cm – typically suited for bar tables around 105 cm high
This ensures a comfortable seating height and the right balance between function and aesthetics.
Next, think about style and materials. If you have a kitchen with natural materials, wooden bar stools can create a harmonious look. If you prefer a darker and more distinctive expression, a dark oak version can add contrast and depth.
If you’re aiming for a more industrial look, steel bar stools are an obvious choice. The combination of steel legs and a wooden seat creates a classic expression, while leather details add warmth and comfort.
Bar stools with or without a backrest
Layered lighting: the foundation of a cosy home
Choosing between bar stools with a backrest and models without comes down to both comfort and expression.
Bar stools with a backrest provide extra support and make it more comfortable to sit for longer periods – ideal for meals and relaxed conversations. At the same time, the design can feel light and elegant, so they don’t appear heavy in the room.
Models without a backrest offer a more minimalist look and can easily be tucked under the countertop. They are especially well suited as bar stools for kitchen islands, where space and visual lightness play an important role.
Comfort and materials that suit everyday life
When bar stools for the kitchen become a permanent part of your interior, comfort is essential. They need to work just as well for quick meals as for long conversations.
The choice of materials plays a key role:
- Wooden bar stools add warmth and a timeless, Nordic expression
- Steel bar stools bring edge and a modern touch
- Leather details create softness and character
Many people choose to combine different materials – for example metal and wood or metal and leather – to add dynamism and personality to their interior.
Create your personal style with bar stools
Interior design becomes interesting when you dare to mix expressions. The combination of wooden bar stools and steel bar stools can create a vibrant and balanced overall look.
Most importantly, your bar stools for the kitchen island should not only look good, but also invite you to use them. When comfort and aesthetics go hand in hand, the kitchen becomes the most welcoming room in the home.
