Choosing the right bar stool for your home can be effortless when you have the right tips on your side! From height to style, aesthetics and materials, there are a few factors to consider when you are looking to select the best bar stool for your dining room, kitchen or any other area of your space.

Choosing The Right Height For Your Bar Stool

Seemingly simple but always impactful, finding your way to the right height bar stool is an essential step in your search for the perfect dining room, kitchen or even living room set-up.

Whether you are shopping for your breakfast bar, extra seats around the dining table, a makeshift home bar or you need an extra perch for another working from home station or homework hub, a bar stool is the ideal casual yet chic choice for your family space. Finding the right height can make a significant difference in the overall effect of your seating. Too tall and reaching the surface of your table or counter will be too far a stretch for comfort, too short, and you will find that there is awkward negative space that makes reaching your bar difficult,

To help you find the best bar stool height for your home, we’ll break down all the basics of bar stools with some of our top selections from the stylish selection at 1825 Interiors.
