Choosing the right bar stools for your kitchen counter is never easy, but worry not as we will guide and help you decide on which to choose. When selecting out bar stools, you must take into account a few different measurements and select a style you are into.
1. Measure Your Counter Height and Width
In the United States, the residential standardized measurements of kitchen counter measure 25.5 up to 28 inches wide (going from the wall to the counter’s edge) and you usually won’t find any wider than that. While the standard height for a kitchen counter is 36 inches (91.44 cm) from the floor to the top of the countertop surface. However, the actual height may vary depending on factors such as the height of the individuals using the kitchen, the type of appliances and cabinets being used, and personal preferences.
So be sure to take your measuring tape with you in order to get the exact height and width of the counter. Measure the height from the floor to the underside of the counter or bench, you may also subtract 5-10 inches which allows plenty of space for most anyone’s legs. Lastly, in order to determine how many stools you can fit, you have to keep in mind to allow at least 1 inch of space per stool to provide enough space between stools for people to eat, drink and socialize without bumping elbows.
2. Style and Design One of the major factors to consider when choosing bar stools is the overall style and design of the space where they will be used, as well as the durability and comfort of the stools themselves. Other factors like the height of the stool, the materials used in its construction, and the type of seat and backrest it has can all play a role in determining its suitability for a particular setting.
