Counter Stool Seating for the Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home โ it is where everyone wants to be and often where you spend a good amount of your time. Because of this, it is no surprise that kitchen islands have been more of a focus perhaps more than ever, where you can utilize extra seating centrally within the kitchen space. That extra seating is found in the form of stylish counter stools. In contrast to barstools, counter stools are lower in height, typically 24-27โ inches high, making them easier to sit at a kitchen island counter.
As with any well-structured chair, it can be costly to add counter stools. But I am sharing some great options under $350, both full back and backless styles. Some even come as a set of 2, which may be all you need depending on the size of your space and is a great option if you are looking for the most budget-friendly way to add some counter stools to your kitchen.
When it comes to full back styles, I think they are a great option when you want the dining chair look at a counter height. And you obviously get the added comfort and back support, which is great benefit to those styles, as well. I tend to go towards styles that arenโt upholstered, but this very affordable EMERY COUNTER BARSTSOOL option was worth including. I love it because it comes with a removable upholstered seat, which makes it easy to maintain and clean or to use without the seat at times. If you arenโt sure what material would work for you, considering your lifestyle and usage can help you decide on what might be best option for you. For instance, for kid-friendly counter stools, easy to clean and comfortable options never fail, like these FAUX LEATHER COUNTER STOOLS , that make it easy to wipe clean and offer a padded cushioned seat.
Backless styles are equally great, and give you the simple barstool look at a shorter height. But donโt think that simple silhouette means simple style, as you can find really great options โ like this BRENNER LEATHER COUNTER STOOL that is chic and modern.
I also love this TIBETAN COUNTER STOOL for an affordable option that would look great in any kitchen.
