CHOOSING THE PERFECT STOOL

Stools have evolved with the changing attitude towards the way we use our kitchens. In the past the kitchen remained behind the scenes and was not a place for entertaining guests or showcasing the latest piece of furniture. By the 1930s, the traditional view of the kitchen as being there for function and not aesthetic was gradually upended by American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright’s conception of the "open plan" kitchen. This reshaped the way homeowners used their kitchen islands.

The kitchen island is a place for sharing a bottle of wine with friends while snacking on appetisers. It is the convenient setting for hurried breakfasts and short lunches. Nowadays, so many features and different appliances are incorporated into the design of an island. Wine racks, numerous cabinets, impressive sinks, sockets, and plate racks are only a few examples. Islands have become bigger versions of sideboards. This multifunctional block is elevated by the addition of bar stools. Slide them under a rounded, marble countertop and appreciate the contrast of textures. The novelty of sitting up high is not one that fades easily and is helped by the comfortable, practical stools available today. Our leather stools are adjustable revelations and will give your kitchen a touch of rustic charm. Soft, brown tones and clean, black metal are understated details enhanced by durability.

If you are looking for an unimposing look, natural rattan bar stools are a great choice. They will soften any bright colours and absorb naturally into the decor of your home.
