Should I get new barstools?

9 years ago

I have a new house and am using three old barstools and a odd stool. They work for me., but my husbands thinks they ruin the look of the kitchen. Should we buy new and if so what style?

Other than the mismatch of the odd stool, why don't you ask hubby what
he'd LIKE? There may be seven billion or more online, from upholstered
to wood to anything in between. Even customizable to fabrics and finish. Few women I know would skip the chance for new with a hubby totally "on board" : )

I would either paint them (and I very rarely say that!) or purchase new ones.

Most definitely you should replace them with matching upholstered stools. so many choices on shapes (a little curved back with tufting, or backless to keep the sight line open.) it's a beautiful kitchen!

The legs of your stools look too busy. Something with fewer rungs to allow the shelves to be seen. If you don't use all the stools, I'd put two away so there are no stools blocking the shelves, and bring them out only when needed.

There is nothing wrong with "blocking" the shelves. There are either two adults and two kids in the house, or four kids!! There is counter overhang for stools, and an overhang with no stool looks far worse. The shelves are simply cook book storage,( neatly and clean non greasy covers)........thank you : ).

I love your stools (excluded the one mismatched one. that one should go). Your kitchen is elegant and detailed and the rustic stools give a nice contrast. It makes me think of a French country kitchen. Plus I'm all about saving money.
