apartmenttherapy love these stools made using truck springs - a unique look and cool recycling idea! |
I attended an information session last Friday, to familiarize myself with some of the newest available style and finishes of bar stools. The most common chair and stool heights are of course counter height and bar height. The newest one is called Spectator height and has a seat 34" from the floor. Although this higher stool is used mainly in commercial applications, it is showing up more often in homes - usually at a bar in a rec room.
The photo below shows an example of one of the stools available in spectator height.

One of those in biggest demand is the one shown here: people just love this look combining leather and wood.

The last two pictures showed more of a modern style, but there are plenty to choose from if you like a more classic look. A sturdy wooden frame with rich leather upholstery is a great addition to a more traditional bar.

If you have selected a seat with a swivel it is possible to order one with a "memory swivel." This is a nice feature to have if you want to keep a neat, clean look at all times. If someone turns the seat sideways to get off, it will return to its original position immediately .
Many of the manufacturers of these stools offer a wide range of style and finishes. Due to the vast amount of choices available you can easily order something that suits your taste and decor.
To close I would just like to share with you a few different stools that caught my eye while writing this blog.
