It can be difficult to find ways to cozy up a kitchen. Kitchens are filled with utilitarian pieces of equipment that don't necessarily warm up the space. Paint color and accessories get things going in the right direction, but have you ever considered the impact a bar stool can make? See how an alternative bar stool design can add warmth and whimsy to everyone's favorite room in the house.

| Adding bench bar stools to this elegant kitchen instantly makes the room feel more relaxed. If you're worried about the durability of white upholstery, use an easily cleaned material like vinyl to help your benches stand the test of time. |

| Even sleek, modern penthouses want to be comfortable. The bench added to the end of this center island makes the kitchen feel more approachable and will have guests vying for a spot close to the chef. |
Adding a bench to this already inviting kitchen creates more seating and brings another great hue into the fresh color palette.

| Flanking this center island table with two bench bar stools doubles the seating capacity and brings comfort through the lush upholstery. |
Incorporating an unexpected piece in the kitchen, like this long antique bench, instantly makes the room feel more approachable and can show another side of your personality.
Creating a bench out of two old barstools is a DIY project that will enable one more little body to see what's happening during dinner prep. Adding a cushion would be a great way to inject some pattern to the room and make the seat more comfortable.
These gorgeous slipcovered bar stools make for a cozy seat and are a breeze to clean.

hometipster Which one to choose? All are very nice but my favorites here have to be the Winder Gibson and J&M Lifestyles designs. While both are stark contrasts to one another each has it's own unique appeal for me.

Susan Portz I LOVE the way they look but truly - are these in any way practicle? Two seats instead of a bench just works better, otherwise it's awkward when one person wants to get up and push back the bench and the other is remaining seated. I think that is particularly true of that lovely long antique bench pulled up to the kitchen island. It could seat at least three, possibly four. I guess I'm too pragmatic for this idea. Benches elsewhere are great.
