Bar stools in various styles

Basically, bar stools are associated with modern interiors. However, the possibilities of their use are much wider. You just need to know the key principles, and then it will not be difficult to choose the best option for any type of interior.

The bar stool is easy to recognize:

• He is above the ordinary;

• Equipped with a relatively small seat;

• The back is small or completely absent;

• There are footrests so that the high seating position does not cause inconvenience.

It is this format that allows you to save space as much as possible in a small kitchen.

Hi-tech is quite popular, and many people like to emphasize their commitment to modern technological advances. The best way to express it turns out to be bar stools of a strict, laconic configuration, made of chrome-plated steel. The modern bar stool is most often equipped with an openwork back and low side rails. Leather or fabrics are used to make its seats.

Country music seems to be incompatible with the use of bar stools, but it is not. The use of low furniture decorated with folklore carvings turns out to be quite a reasonable solution. Chairs in the classic style are most often wooden, with seats upholstered in leather or durable fabric. Instead of natural wood, you can choose beautiful forging, but always with good upholstery and comfortable armrests.

Vintage can look very attractive both in a room decorated in the same way and in a modern setting, the main thing is that harmony is maintained between them. A characteristic feature of this style is the dominance of straight contours and the minimum amount of decoration and nothing that would distract from the main task, showing the romance of the old structure.

Retro bar stools do not have a single "canon"; they differ depending on which particular era they are imitating. Versions in the spirit of the 1940s are deliberately rough and straightforward, only textile elements dilute this feeling a little. The style of the fifties is already one-color bright fabrics and plastic inclusions.

Semi-antique furniture should not even remotely remind of the twentieth century, and "antiquity" is different in appearance. Some designers prefer the chalet style, while others draw inspiration from the images of the manor or village life. In any case, the wood itself should express the intention of the designers - its natural structure is used as fully as possible.

Classics are appropriate if the kitchen is large enough. You can emphasize your idea by buying chairs that are specially made "worn from time".

Provence is all those solutions that kind of transport you to the sun-drenched countryside somewhere on the Mediterranean coast. The indispensable features of this style are grace, the absence of any pomp and pretentiousness. The style of the French hinterland allows the use of linen covers for decorative purposes, it is recommended to use floral patterns in the design.

The Scandinavian format is attractive in that it conducts daring experiments with the geometric configuration of furniture. If you want to create an original and not too colorful interior, this is a perfectly reasonable solution.White dominates, and this allows you to add maximum airiness and freshness to the atmosphere. No matter how original the shape of the Scandinavian-style furniture designs, they are invariably functional and practical.

High-tech coloring is most often black, white or gray, although this is not at all necessary. But in a modernist interior, it is more correct to focus on pastel, soft colors. Fusion and pop art is a wide area for experimenting with color and shape. It is almost impossible to find “too extravagant” solutions for them.

The Scandinavian style bar stool is predominantly made of light wood.

Bar stools come in a wide variety of design accents, and many designers choose to vary the look of the legs. Their number and geometric shape are changing, a variety of finishes are practiced. Transparent model “Louis Ghost” seems “invisible” and does not visually overwhelm the space.

If it is not possible to purchase a real designer product, you do not need to despair - relatively inexpensive Polish-made S-300 bar stools will also look good. But if you have sufficient funds, a chair made in Italy can be safely recommended - all products from there are of high quality, solid and beautiful.

Products with armrests and backrests are most useful if you need:

• Replace a full dining table with a bar counter;

• Use it as a home bar;

• Organize a workplace.

In a small kitchen, folding bar stools are appropriate; they will also come in handy if you receive guests only occasionally.
