Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Stool
In the relentless pursuit of a perfectly set-up interior space, the bar stool is often not at the top of most people’s list of things to consider. Yet, picking the perfect one is everything for people who love stools. The perfect tool for anyone is one that perfectly balances style, comfort, and practicality. It’s all about finding a stool that looks good, feels good, and fits perfectly in your interior space. In this ultimate guide, we’ll explore some things to remember in your search for the perfect stool for your space.
What’s the ideal stool height?
In your search for the perfect stool, the stool size is typically the starting point. Generally, stools come in three height categories. It can be 24 inches, 30 inches, or 34 inches tall (61, 76, or 86cm tall. Any of these can be ideal for your home, depending on the height of your tabletop, kitchen island, or countertop. Generally, you want to leave enough room between the stool seat and the countertop’s base. A general rule is to leave 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) between the underside of the counter or table. If you’re unsure of which height to get, just go for a stool with adjustable height.
How many stools should I get?
Like the stool height, the ideal number of tools also depends on the countertop or kitchen island size. You should get just enough room between the stools to allow free movement. Generally, for smaller stools (less than 16 inches or 40cm), you should leave at least 6 inches between them. Conversely, for larger stools (over 22 inches or 45cm), leave 8 inches of space or more between the seats.
Does room size matter?
The size of the room matters when selecting stools for your home. The room size will determine how much space you have for the stool. You’re better off with a streamlined backless stool for a small space. Similarly, if the room is big, large stools with backs and armrests will fill the space better than small stools.
Stool Styles
This bit is entirely up to you since the ideal style depends largely on your preferences and the current decor style of your home. You can choose any style, from a modern minimalist style to a traditional or rustic stool style. The good thing is that every interior has a stool style, so you can always find something that fits your preferences perfectly.
Backrest or no backrest?
The no-back stool comes to mind when most people think of stools. They’re great for small spaces because they don’t get in the way. However, they’re generally less comfortable than the stools with full backrests. Full-back stools are also larger and tend to have more impact on your decor due to their size. As a compromise, you can go for low-back stools that offer the best of both worlds.
