Dinettes and Stools: Selecting the Best Kitchen Bar Stools
Before, bar stools were only seen in restaurants and bars. Now, people have been placing them in their own kitchens both for design and functionality. With so many types and designs of bar stools available, you might find it hard to choose the perfect set. Dinettes and Stools, a big online store of different furniture, share with us things to consider when selecting the best set of kitchen bar stools.
The factors that you would need to consider include the kind of seating you want, the height of the stools, and also the number of stools that could fit in your bar. Some people mainly focus on the design of a certain bar stool when in fact, more than the looks, functionality should be considered. It would be a waste of money and time if members of your household or visitors would only look and not sit on it.
First, you need to know the baseline measurement. Putting a bar stool which is the same height as your bar is pointless. Measure the height of the bar starting from the floor up to the underside of it. Then subtract about 11 to 12 inches from the height. The product would be the height of your bar stool.
Next, you need to determine what material you want your bar stool is made of. You should also theme it up with the look of your kitchen. It you prefer the traditional look, you can go with wooden types of bar stools. However, these bar stools are quite difficult to clean. If you bar stools that do not require hard maintenance, metal or powder-coated steel bar stools. They are easy to clean and can blend well with a modernized kitchen. Another type is aluminum bar stools which are lighter in weight than metal or powder-coated steel.
Choosing a type of bar stool which is easy to clean is important. Your bar stools will be prone to frequent wear and tear so might as well be prepared for it. Since you would be placing them in your kitchen, lots of spills and staining must be anticipated.
Determine the little details you want for your bar stools. In this step, you may also need to observe your bar and the kitchen. If you have a wide or spacious kitchen, you can go for bar stools with back rests. While if you have a narrow kitchen, it is best to opt for backless bar stools so you can easily slide them below the bar if not in use. Another feature of bar stools is the swivel ability. You can get swivel seats so scratches on the floor will be prevented every time a person positions the bar stool.
Lastly, determine the number of bar stools you will be purchasing. A good technique in knowing the number of bar stools is by measuring your bar and dividing it into 30. The rationale for this is that there should be 30 inches distance between the center of a bar stool to another center.
Remember these tips and factors when you purchase your bar stools. Be prepared before going over to a local shop. Or better yet, you can take a look at a catalog by visiting Dinettes and Stools. Good luck!
