Choosing Breakfast Bar Stools

Breakfast bar stools can offer a way for everyone to gather round in the kitchen and enjoy the morning. If you’re home is anything like mine, the kitchen is the heart so you will want to make sure you get stools that are comfortable as well as fashionable!

The Stools

When choosing your breakfast bar stools, you want to pick ones that go with your décor. That could be challenging if you are shopping around town, but luckily there is a much bigger selection of styles right here online. You can get anything you want including metal. Wicker, wood, leather and any style can be found as well including modern, country, traditional and everything in between.

Ordering stools online is easy, but one thing is that you want to be sure that you order the right height for your breakfast bar. So, what you need to do is measure from the bottom of the bar to the floor. Then, you need to get the measurement from the floor to the top of the bar stool seat. Next, subtract the two and you should have between 10 and 13 inches for the most comfortable seating. So, in other words the top of the bar stool seat should be somewhere between 10 and 13 inches away from the bottom of the counter.

Getting the right about of breakfast bar stools is also key. While you may want to be able to seat as many people as possible, you don’t want the area to be overcrowded. A good rule of thumb is to have between 25” and 30” from the center of 1 stool to the center of the next stool. So, you will want to measure the length of your breakfast bar counter and divide accordingly.
