What's Your Style?
Before you begin shopping, it's important to consider your personal style. Do you prefer modern or traditional? If so, what is your ideal look? Do you have a color scheme in mind? Are there any specific details that are important to you or do you have a particular theme in mind for your party (such as an elegant black and gold New Year's Eve affair)? Once these questions are answered, it's time to start searching for bar stools!

You may already have some furniture at home that could be used as inspiration for the type of bar stool that would work best. If this is the case, simply buy stools that match those pieces, so they coordinate perfectly with one another when guests arrive. If not, then think about how much space there will be in different areas of your home before choosing which style and size would best fit there.

What's Your Theme?
When you're planning your New Year's Eve party, it's important to consider the theme. You want everything to be cohesive and consistent, so that you can create a cohesive look and feel throughout the space.

The same is true when sourcing bar stools for your event—you want them to fit with your overall aesthetic. When choosing new chairs for your space, ask yourself: Is there any other furniture in my home that could share this color scheme or style? How will my guests feel sitting on these stools? Do they have high backs or low backs? What kind of legs do they have (round or square)? And most importantly: what color are they?

How Many People are Coming Over? Will Everyone be Sitting Down?
The number of people you're planning to have over will determine how many

If it's going to be a big bash with lots of guests, however, your best bet is to invest in some higher quality models that can handle multiple people at once without breaking down under the pressure. It may be tempting to buy cheap aftermarket pieces, but they won't hold up as well under heavy use and are more likely to break down before your party even begins!

Will You Serve Drinks at the Bar or around a Table?

• Do you want stools with backs, or no backs? If you plan on serving drinks at the bar and want stools with backs, choose ones that are made for high-traffic areas. These will be much more durable than their counterparts without backs.
• Are you planning to serve drinks around a table, rather than behind one? In this case, avoid selecting tall bar stools as they may prevent people from sitting comfortably.

What Features are Must-Haves for You?

• Swivel: Swiveling is a must for bar stools, so you can easily make room for people to get behind the bar.
• Adjustable height: Bar stool heights should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of people and situations. The more adjustments available, the better!
• Footrest: If there's going to be dancing at your party, you want everyone to have access to a footrest (or at least somewhere they can rest their feet). This way they won't get tired out while having fun instead of helping out with serving!

The number of people you're planning to have over will determine how many bar stools you need. If it's a small party, you probably don't need as many seats.

The 4 tips for choosing the correct height of your bar chair

This is a tough question which has vexed many a person.  What seat height should I choose for my bar chair? 

This seems like a simple question, yet many others come along with it:

45, 60, 75, 90 cm?  How much space should I leave between my bar stool and the table?  Will my elbows be too high up?  Should I choose a stool with a back?  Should I choose one with armrests?

The seat height of your bar stool: a negotiation between comfort and style!

Here you will find a simple guide to choosing the ideal height for your tall chair.  This handy guide will also help you answer other questions about the design and comfort of your stool.We've also put together a selection of trendy bar stools not to be missed in 2019! 

What will be the function of your bar stool?

Whether it is being employed for private or professional use, bar stools are a star item and must be chosen with due care.  When designing a restaurant, bar or kitchen which will require bar stools these must be suitable for the future needs of the space.  therefore, the bar stool you choose should consider the comfort of the seat as well as It’s atheistic appearance since it will be a centre piece of your decoration.  

It is important to have good ergonomics, sitting and posture regardless of the use of your bar stool.The height of the seat of a bar stool is therefore an essential criterion that must combine design, comfort and quality.

4 essential questions:

1. How tall is my bar, counter, table, island or worktop?

This is the starting point!

In order to ensure a good position, once seated, the choice of your tall chair depends on the height of your surface.

The recommendation is to leave a gap of around 30-35 cm between the bar stool and the upper edge of the ledge.  It is best to keep an approximate distance of 10 cm between your legs and the bottom edge of the table. 

2. How will the tall chair be employed?

How often will these tall chairs be used? Is this a place to have a drink or a meal? for private or commercial use?  In a public space?  By adults or children? Will your guest stay seated for a long time or do you need a bar stool for quick and easy use?

3. A Bar Design stool: with or without armrest?

This choice is directly related to the answers of the previous question and your own personal taste.

Tip: If you opt for a bar chair with armrests, consider the height of the seat in relation to your surface and not the height of the armrests. In some cases, the bar stool will not fit under your counter.  It will then be necessary to ensure you have enough space surrounding it.

4. Bar chair: with or without backrest?

The answers on the use of your bar stool will allow you to make your choice for a bar chair with or without a backrest.

We tend to think that a bar stool is more comfortable with a high back, but the maintenance and comfort is also defined by the ergonomics of the seat and the material used.

A bar chair without a backrest will slide more easily under your surface to free up space and not clutter the room.

Tip: If you opt for a bar chair with backrest, take into account the height of the seat in relation to the surface and not the height of the backrest.

Once the height of the bar stool is determined, consider the style of your interiors and choose your bar stool to match your designs!

The stool: trendy!

The layout of the interior space evolves over time!  Traditionally, "cocooning" was favoured, and each room was designed to meet a well-defined function. Nowadays, the trend is reversed and gives way to "hiving"! Unlike "cocooning", rooms are decompartmentalized and centralized creating a space for everything in one place.

The kitchen is the perfect example to illustrate this movement / change. It has become the centre piece of the house and even replaces the dining room.  The open plan kitchen, defined by a bar, is ubiquitous thanks to its friendly, familial and welcoming space.

That's why the popularity of the bar stool continues to grow. The tall chair is the essential element and represents a considerable asset in the design of an interior space!
