You need a 24” seat height stool ideally a stool with an adjustable seat is even better start looking at kitchen stools not vanity stools

You need a stool with a seat height that is about 24-26" high. I would look first at counter-height seating. There are several factors here: 1) You have a deep apron compared to an average table 2) Your height 3) Your preference.

As Jan mentioned, an adjustable height might be ideal.

Finally, do you actually use that area?

Will 22" work for you? I bought this stool and love it. It's actually a laboratory stool, so even though it is backless, it is designed to be comfortable enough for all day sitting. Besides spinning, the bottom gives in a way that lets you sort of angle when you lean forward. https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/latitude-run-zelazny-height-adjustable-active-stool-latu2616.html

Thanks everyone! I would like to use the area... new house so since I don't have a seat there I have been just standing. Thoughts on this one...? https://www.houzz.com/products/madison-park-coffax-counter-stool-blue-prvw-vr~76323048

Hi Steph,

Before ordering, I suggest you determine 2 things

1) Correct height. Do you have any counter stools in the kitchen? Try one and see if it is the right height. Too high? Too low? Then go from there.

2) Determine the style. You show the photo below in your ideabook. Then, you have stools that are everywhere from traditional to contemporary. I would say your bathroom is transitional. That is good because it will be able to accept a sway toward one style or another.

What do you really want your bathroom to feel like? Please post a photo.

The chair you posted is transitional, but leans a little toward formal, almost traditional.

Good suggestions and I have spent most of my time today searching the internet - LOL! I've added more ideas to my Lookbook for the master bath. Thinking this chair might work better... looking for the adjustable seat that still looks elegant.

The legs are gold but I think that would still be ok

Hi Steph. With all of my clients, the first step we take is to determine the look he or she wants. These 2 looks from your ideabook are very different. Do you want either of these or something else. Maybe something in between?

In any case, I would recommend no arms, as you will not need them and you want to sit close, so the arms will keep bumping the drawer.

Opulence · More Info

Here are a couple of baths that feel opulent, but have natural woods tones. Is this the mix you want?
Note the top one has no traditional items. I really don't recommend a traditional looking chair for that bathroom. Would you be okay with a more transitional or contemporary chair with clean lines?

If so,

If you want adjustable height, you usually find those only in bar stools, but that should work. Here is a transitional style that would go with your space. Comes in several colors. What is the available width?

It looks as though the sink is rather close to the vanity seating area, so I'd go with a backless stool. Unless you can completely store it under the vanity, it's going to be in the way when you use the sink.

The blue tufted one you like would be a bit too big. If you really like one with a back, then make sure it doesn't have arms.

Try Carrington Court. www.carringtoncourt.com I had the Stowe stool custom made for my mother’s bath reno and they gave me an extra couple inches in height. Super easy company for custom upholstery—vanity, dining and I think they now do custom headboards We have had many of their pieces over the years. In my dressing room, I have a Gatco in polished nickel that sits at about 22” but no longer made. But they have several current options if you like metal.

Measure the height of the seat on a dining room or desk chair. That’s the height you need for your vanity stool.

Her counters are 38" and dining tables are 30" high, so a dining room chair will be too low.

Found a great stool! Went with a counter height bar stool. Everyone’s support & ideas was so very helpful. Thank you!
