Buy Bar Stool Chairs for Kitchens and Recreation Rooms
If you have a kitchen or recreation room with a bar-counter, you may be in the
market for bar stools. These specially made chairs are ideal for casual dining
and socializing. There are many to choose from; and you can find them locally or

 For a kitchen breakfast bar-counter, you would probably choose bar stool chairs
that most closely matched the ambience of the kitchen. Most kitchens have a lot
of light in them for practical reasons. It is hard to wash, chop, and cook
without adequate illumination. Therefore, most kitchens are done up in whites
and bright colors.
Good bar stool chairs for the kitchen would be the simple kind, with four legs
and a padded seat. The seat could be covered in a light or bright colored
fabric. The material should be resistant to oils and food stains. The kitchen
environment is hazardous to many fine fabrics. It is better to have bar stool
chairs covered in sturdy, stain-resistant materials.
It is alright to get bar stools with arms for the kitchen. If you do, you need
to make sure there is plenty of room under the counter for the arms. Otherwise,
people will never be able to scoot up to the counter. They will be forced to
lean forward to get their food and drinks.
You should always leave 10 to 13 inches between the top of the bar stool chair’s
seat and the bottom of the bar-counter. This gives people plenty of room for
their thighs to fit comfortably without pinching. At the same time, it does not
leave so much room that the eating surface is high above the seat.
If you are furnishing the bar of a recreation room, your priorities will be a
little different. You will not have to worry so much about stains and oils. You
can get bar stool chairs upholstered in leather or fine fabrics. You can get
more refined-looking fabrics with deeper colors and richer textures.
In recreation room bars, you can go for solid hardwood legs and backs for your
bar stool chairs. They may add bronze or copper trim to the dark hardwoods for
an old-world effect. Your bar stool chairs will be perfect for a dim bar if you
choose these combinations of light and dark.
Make sure you have enough bar stool chairs for the length of bar-counter you
have in your recreation room. You should allow about 25 inches from the middle
of one seat to the middle of the next in line. If your bar stool chairs are
extra wide, allow an extra inch or two.
Figure 12 ½ inches to the middle of the first chair, and then add 25 inches for
each chair you want to add. You should have at least another 12 ½ inches left at
the end. When you have measured your bar-counter in this way, you will know
whether you have room for four bar stool chairs or six.
