Our Jewell counter stools - base can be ORB and any fabric! Low back but still very comfortable! Not heavy either! https://www.ethanallen.com/en_US/shop-furniture-dining-room-bar-counter-stools/jewel-metal-base-counter-stool/132513.html?dwvar_132513_finish=897#q=jewell&lang=en_US&start=1

Hi Rachel,

Your kitchen is beautiful! I think our Fame stool would look stunning in the 24 magnetite metal and the DH Blizzard vinyl:

We also have a fabric called BP Pixel which looks great with the 24 magnetite metal:

I would not use velvet for counter stools unless everyone is an adult and there are never kids in the house. I do love the idea of a color for sure I have orange ones aI painted the wall behing my coffee area the same orange .

Most of us use this space for everything..not just eating....so my recommendation is ...super comfy....really light weight (easy to move around) and if you can....arms

Here's two to consider, both done in embossed leathers from Hancock and Moore (these are two of my floor models). The lighter looking one is the Avril barstool, the other is the most comfortable one I have ever sat in called the Steele Farm. Lots of leather and wood colors to choose from, however the covers on both these would go with your kitchen area nicely.
