How to choose bar stools

Height comes first. Allow roughly 25–30 cm between the seat and the underside of your worktop: a standard 90 cm kitchen island suits a 65 cm counter-height stool, while a 105–115 cm home bar needs a 75–80 cm bar-height stool. If you are unsure, a gas-lift adjustable stool covers both. See our bar stool height guide for full measurements.

Next, think about comfort. Stools with backs and arms give more support for long meals or working at the island, a footrest takes the weight off your legs, and padded or upholstered seats are kinder for everyday use. Backless stools tuck fully under the counter when space is tight.

Finally, plan your spacing. Allow roughly 60 cm of counter per stool so people can sit and move comfortably; swivel stools and stools with arms may need a little more. Measure the length of your counter and divide by 60 to see how many stools will fit.

Frequently asked questions

What height bar stool do I need?
Measure from the floor to the top of your counter. Most kitchen worktops are around 90 cm and suit counter stools with a seat around 60–66 cm; breakfast bars around 105 cm suit bar stools with a seat around 73–80 cm. Adjustable stools cover both.

Allow about 60 cm of counter width per stool (more for stools with arms or swivel seats).
