If you have a kitchen with a cooking island, bar stools are essential. Comfortable seating lets guests keep you company while you prepare food. Extra seating is useful in every home, and designer bar stools are becoming increasingly attractive. Explore new pieces by well-known designers and choose your favorites. Should the look be modern or traditional? Should the stools blend with the rest of the interior or create a strong contrast? Material and color matter too, so consider each of these questions before choosing bar stools for your home.

Think about the type of bar stool you need. Do you prefer a backrest? Should it swivel? Which material suits the kitchen best? For a classic look, choose oak or another wood you love. Clean metal lines are a perfect complement to a modern kitchen. For an eclectic note, choose a designer bar stool in a contrasting color. See the designs below.
