Bar stools
Any suggestions as to what bar stools might suit this kitchen? Looking to keep it to around £100 mark for each stool. Thanks Anna

Bar stools - swivel or stationary?
Comments (5)I like both, depending on their use. For sociability, the swivel are great. For writing or some other, more 'stationary' function, the stationary are it. The swivel is too much work to keep it stationary!...See MoreBar stools - with a back or backless?
Comments (8)I have lived in two places with breakfast bars in American style kitchens. I found that I tended to spend a great deal of time sitting there so a bar stool with a comfortable back is important. I made mine from pine, copied from some I saw in a bar. I was also given an old captains swivel seat from a yacht so I built a stand for it, reupholstered it and unfortunately left it for the new tenant who liked it. That was one of my favourite seats, to sit in comfort at a breakfast bar rather than balancing without a back to lean on....See MoreSmall Bar stools dilemma unsure which ones!!!
Comments (6)I personally prefer the white stools but both are nice and sit well within the room. If you prefer the black and they're sold out why not consider adding a chair at the end? I've only quickly messed around but why not add some accessories to the table? I'm not really a table runner person but there are some nice "scandi" style ones around which would add more texture. It's a nice room, hope you're making use of it :)...See MoreBar Stools Advice
Comments (6)Funny you should say that Ellie , I did exactly the same with a string of Christmas lights . i bought a set from them at around £50 then when they arrived they were in a branded box which I googled and found them at half price elsewhere ! Sent Cox and Cox’s back....See Morepetherbridge1

7 years agoI like the first one too. I also love the Revolver Stool from Hay. It is a really nice solid piece, comfy too despite being made of powder coated steel. The pale grey could look good? A little over budget at £135 though.

7 years agoI've got some white leather ones.
My advice on bar stools is think really hard about how comfortable they will be, there are lots that look nice but they are horrible and hard to sit on, you will want them gone after a few weeks.
They are from Atlantic shopping, they have a massive range and are pretty good value.

7 years agoAnna,
I recommend that you up your budget. There are loads of bar stools from China at under £100 each. However they are mostly uncomfortable and they fall apart in a few months. If you invest in good quality Italian bar stools you have a choice of 56 colours and you get Comfort, quality and longevity built in. I suggest that the kitchen in grey and white needs a punch of bright colour to create the WOW factor.
I am attaching images of several stools with white, Purple, Red and Blue seats. Also I attach images of our sample cards for Real Leather and Magic Eco Leather. All of the bar stools are substantially above your budget figure of £100 per stool. However I suggest that for the quality of kitchen you have fitted, it is a great shame to "Spoil the ship for a halfpenny worth of Tar" by buying cheap bar stools.alant100 (above) suggested that Classy looking expensive stools are all £400 + in Leather. We quite a number of barstools in real Italian Quality leather which are under £400 and we can also offer them in a very high quality Man Made Eco Leather (Leather lookalike) at lower prices. I would be happy to give more information and send sample cards if you are interested.

7 years agoNo bother Petherbridge. I paid over £100 each for bar stools in my previous house and they were no better than the. Heap ones I have now. Another good place to look is DUNELM online...they do free delivery.... I bought this one there for my new kitchen, it's white white and purple and quite quirky...and it was very reasonably priced too.

Our client chose these beautiful industrial stools from Atlantic Shopping. It was a great way of introducing the on trend industrial look in to their kitchen design. I think they were around £80 each. We tend to find the Atlantic Shopping website has the greatest choice of chairs and stools at the most reasonable prices.

Breakfast Bar Stools
7 years agoI attach some photos below to illustrate my remarks above about having a bright or a light colour for your Bar Stools
See the matching Splash Back above.
Also, several people are suggesting hard wood or plastic seats, with no backs.
Think about the use that you want from the Breakfast Bar. Do you want to perch for 5 minutes while grabbing a coffee before rushing to catch the train to work, or do you want to lounge in your barstools for 3 hours on a Sunday morning reading the papers or sort out world politics over a bottle of wine on a Saturday night?
I certainly don't want to perch on a hard wooden seat with no back when I want to relax !!

7 years agoHi your kitchen is really gorgeous with fabulous colour choices. Some of the stool/ chairs that have backs may be a bit bulky and too modern. I would look to enhance the lovely definition the worktops give your kitchen. Therefore I would suggest under counter stools to retain look perhaps in stainless steel to pick up handle choices.
I've posted x2 pictures with the copper stools being from cult furniture who supply these in lots of colours including stainless steel and with wooden tops that would add warmth and work well with your floor. The stainless steel stools are from swoon and likewise have variations some with wooden seats. Given your choices so far I feel simplicity of the design choice will enhance your kitchen. Enjoy eventually sitting in your fab kitchen

Kitchen & stools look beautiful.
Look what I've just found in the utility! I am terrible at returning things. Don't suppose you have a pic of your drawers?
