There are many benefits to using bar stools in your home. In particular, they are a very versatile form of seating with a number of uses and benefits over other kinds of seating. Despite being such extremely functional items, they are also a very pleasant and comfortable way to sit – particularly in more casual and laid-back situations.
Comfortable and Casual Seating
Kitchen stools make for comfortable seating. Some are built for greater comfort than others, but they frequently have features like padded seats and backrests, arm rests, and foot rests on the pedestal to allow comfortable seating for people of all builds at any height. This can afford great comfort even though people tend to perch rather than sit properly on the stools – a fact which makes them ideal for the casual, laid-back person who may or may not be sitting for any length of time.
Great for Entertaining
Bar stools are ideal when entertaining people. They provide practical extra seating at a time when you often just don't seem to have enough chairs to go around. Furthermore, if you are having a party of any real size food and drinks are likely to be available to guests in the kitchen. Some guests will like to hover around this area, getting regular nibbles or top-ups, and breakfast bar stools provides them with some useful, casual, readily-available places to sit.
Easy to Store
Breakfast bar stools have an advantage over most other types of chair in that they tend to be very easy to store. Even folding chairs need some dedicated place in which they must be kept, and will therefore eat into the space you have in your cupboard, loft, or spare room. Kitchen stools, on the other hand, can be slotted neatly beneath your breakfast bar. Depending on the exact type of stool you have and the height and shape of your breakfast bar, they will either slot underneath the surface completely and take up no extra room at all or require only a little floor space. This makes them ideal for smaller kitchens, and simply for generally storing the stools when not in use.
Fashionable Accessories
Kitchen bar stools are also versatile in the sense that they can be much more than just seating. Unlike most other kinds of chair, they are usually designed with aesthetics in mind and boast fetching, fashionable designs. They may be traditional or contemporary, subtle or bold, but the majority of stools are eye-catching and able to play a real, solid role in the décor of a setting. This means that they can enhance the overall look of your kitchen and even form something of a minor centrepiece, where other chairs would be purely functional items just adding to the clutter of your home in the name of practicality.
