Bar stools have now become focal points in the design of every living area, the variety in shape, size and colour means that they can fit in to almost any living space and give that stylish edge. Although the right stool has to be considered, just as important is where you place them! The most popular place within the home is the kitchen/bar area. This becomes a high traffic area being included in every person’s morning routine and the right stools in this location will make every morning that little bit more comfortable. As the kitchen is now the social hub of the house many people are going to lengths of even disposing of the traditional table and chairs to substitute them for either an island/bar area or a barstool table with stools around it to finish off the kitchen with the perfect new domestic fashion accessory. Although the most popular use of barstools this is not the only setting that they can be used in. Staying within the house setting the bathroom or bedroom has become a fitting space for a barstool usually being associated with a dressing table. This height is lower than standard but the barstool can adjust to this environment with ease with most coming with an adjustable hydraulic column.
Many exhibition companies now use stools when exhibiting their products as this is more aesthetically pleasing than a table and chairs when on a stand and also gives a well elevated good sales area for any possible customers. These are also a welcoming gesture and can make people feel at ease and comfortable and simply ready to take that step over to inquire. Similar to exhibition stands, cosmetic companies are now adding barstools to their ‘cart’ for them to be used within department areas containing all cosmetic stands. Barstools are perfect for this use as they are affordable, match up to the stylish needs of the business type and are adjustable so the client is at perfect height for viewing or trying of products.
Within the Bar environment there are different requirements for a stool to live up to and this is due to the fact that in the club environment most tables are at what is called a poseur table height meaning the barstool will be under more strain to stay at this height for long periods of time this is usually combated by using a heavier stool which brings the centre of mass lower and due to the thicker metalwork the stool will last for a considerable period of times.
Bar stools have now become part of the market when it comes to kitting out new restaurants with standard tables and chairs being replaced by more upmarket stools. This also applies to salons’ and cafes’ and almost any shop wanting to add that little bit of suave style. Stools have now become so popular that they are almost everywhere throughout the domestic and commercial world, they range in size, colour and shape and are being employed by almost every kitchen whether modern or stylistic, in almost every restaurant and bar and now even on television. Barstools now have that many uses they have expanded indefinitely so it’s a question of “when will you purchase yours?”
