Kitchen barstools like these need to be a comfortable distance from the counter top or bar top, with eleven inches being the ideal. So having open space behind the stools is important. When in use they might extend into the natural foot path, but when not in use, they can move closer to the bar.

It is best to get bar stools that have structures slightly taller than the bar like the metalwork seats here, of course if your bar top extends outward, perhaps discreetly tucking them away underneath when not in use is your plan. For this reason, the majority of the stool–namely the seat section itself–fits nicely under while the intricate metal design is still visible.

Not all counters are the same, which is why there is such variety in terms of the height and style of bar stools. In this space, the shorter stools nestle in quite nicely with the small kitchen island to convert it immediately into a dining table for two.

Overall, kitchen bar stools can fit any room. For accommodations of multiple guests, having height adjustable stools lets each guest raise or lower the seat to their satisfaction. This is particular important among younger family members. The shape selected for the bar stools greatly reflects personal preferences, and is best when it complements the surrounding pieces and the natural shape of the room.
