Loft style bar stools

The modern kitchen tends towards minimalism and maximum functionality. Instead of a table, a counter is increasingly used, to which high loft-style bar stools are matched. Dynamic design and innovative forms are the distinctive features of the models, thanks to which they have gained popularity among the modern consumer.

The interiors to the right of the loft appeared at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Factories and factories, industrial and industrial design served as inspiration. The old premises were converted for housing or public use, leaving the features inherent in warehouses and hangars. New furniture also appeared, for the manufacture of which metal, wood, plastic, glass were used. Functionality, reliance on practical use and striving for minimalism in design became an important feature of the products.

Brands offer bar stools with or without backs, with multiple legs or just one.

There are swivel options, complemented by armrests that have adjustable length, and also:

• Backless options. They are good for their compactness, as well as the fact that they are easy to move from place to place.
• Chairs with armrests are comfortable when they sit on them during a full meal.

• Products with four legs have the greatest stability: it is difficult to drop them.
• For a small kitchen, foldable models are suitable, which can be removed if necessary. To protect the flooring, use soft-padded feet.

Lovers of "handmade" can make chairs on their own. So, it will be possible to bring to life any design ideas by fully selecting the materials used and correlating them with other interior items.

Raw materials for the manufacture of the frame and upholstery material play an important role. When creating loft-style products, forged steel or alloys with gold and silver filling are used. Wooden chairs are an option for those who prefer natural materials. The luxury of natural shades of wood will fit into both traditional and modern interiors. Plastic models are lightweight, easy to clean and can be made in any color. An option is possible when several types of raw materials are combined.

For the upholstery of the seats and backrests, natural and eco-leather are used, as well as various types of textiles. Soft models are characterized by an increased level of comfort. They are comfortable to sit on, especially when high-quality filler is used.

This parameter directly depends on the size of the table or bar. The difference between the level of the table top and the seat should not exceed 30 cm. In particular, for a rack with a height of 1 m, a chair of about 70 cm is chosen. An important criterion is the complexion of the people who will sit at the table. The apartment owner should feel comfortable, the furniture should not be too high or too low. A chair with an adjustable seat will be a universal solution: so everyone can customize it for themselves.

Stylish furniture in the loft direction is most often chosen by:

• Representatives of the creative industry. Designers, artists, musicians, journalists are people who are creative and strive to surround themselves with beautiful things that serve as an expression of their inner self. In addition, the loft-style layout is practical, allowing you to distribute the room into multifunctional zones, so the bar stool is suitable not only for eating, but also for work.
• Owners of open-plan premises. High ceilings and windows, unfinished walls, a large area - these are the characteristic features of the style, allowing you to fully implement your design ideas. Bar stools will perfectly fit into such an interior.
• Residents of small apartments. It should be noted that bar stools are indispensable not only in large rooms, but also in a miniature kitchen, where every centimeter is appreciated. Such models take up little space, and also look stylish and modern, speaking of the excellent taste of the owner.

The bar stool, which was originally associated purely with entertainment venues (clubs, nightlife cafes), has become a full-fledged part of urban housing. Tall models are suitable for arranging a kitchen in a studio apartment, where it is required to equip the available free space as efficiently as possible. These interior items are suitable both for a daytime rest, when you want to drink a cup of coffee while reading your favorite book, and for a full meal.

The appearance of the product directly depends on how it will look in the interior. There are plain chairs, as well as models decorated with patterns or contrasting inserts. Variants of a strict geometric shape will fit into a minimalistic interior, and interior items curved at non-standard angles will give the room a touch of futurism.

The selection of chairs depends on many criteria. First of all, the models differ in manufacturer and price. You should not chase the low cost and choose little-known Chinese brands: in this case, the furniture will have a short service life and will quickly fail. The quality of the products depends on the materials used and the technologies used.

The variety of designs allows you to choose chairs for any interior. Models differ in the materials used, colors, textures and shapes. Products selected in contrast to the table look conceptually and directly. Chairs upholstered in white leather with round padded seats complement the glass and black painted wood counter. The backs look original, in which through holes are located in the form of a rectangle or other figure.

Monochromatic dark chairs with a strict geometric shape serve as an expression of minimalism. So that the individual elements of the model do not merge with each other, the upholstery and frame differ by half a tone. In particular, the fabric or leather may be slightly lighter, have a shine or play. Between the legs there are crossbars on which you can put your feet. Such bar stools can be correlated with other interior items so that the dining area is made in a single style.

The metal frame is a practical solution for creating furniture. The pliable material allows you to create legs of any shape: concave inward or round. A wooden back and seat will be an addition to this base. Despite their rigidity, the bar stool is comfortable due to its ergonomic design. The lower part of the legs is flattened to maintain the stability of the models. In addition, you can choose a counter with a natural stone countertop.
