Guest Picks: Fancy Barstools
— Melissa from I Still Love You
These faux leather stools would be so cool if they were an all-plastic material, but I do love the simple silhouette.
I love the white woven detail on this stool. I'm not sure how clean it would stay with my kids, but it would pair well with my webbed poang chair in the living room.
This stool has a minimal profile, but still provides some back support. I like the cut out in the back, too.
The shiny chrome would work perfectly with my Bertoia chairs. The backless profile would allow for more sitting room in the kitchen, while still keeping the walking space open.
Industrial home decor typically has an old patina. It's nice to see something in this style using bright, polished steel.
This simple barstool would be fantastic in my space, which has very little counter depth at the bar area.
The tripod look is so popular — cropping up in seating and lighting everywhere. This low-profile, backless barstool would be a perfect addition to our small counter space.
Michael Thonet chairs seem to be all the rage these days. People are clambering to find them in back alleys and vintage shops, so thank heavens they're available new as well. The bright red is so cheery and modern.
These geometric stools are low profile and pack a huge punch. I'd love to put the white stools at my bar.
These colorful barstools are exactly what the doctor ordered for a cheery kitchen. The bright green might be my personal favorite. They're affordable, too.
I love these bright colored stools! I'd be inclined to buy one of each color for a color-blocked feel at the counter top.
The ribbon stool is gorgeous. It's a completely different approach to the bar stool, and reminds me of straps on a barrel. I love the bright colors available, too.
The small, colorful profile of this stool packs a punch, but doesn't take up a whole lot of space. I love the minimal approach in the design. Perfect for small or awkward spaces.
This barstool has such an interesting shape! I can't help but see an open-mouthed creature when looking at the silhouette.
I love the simplicity of the stool and the plain black color. It'd go in any space. And at this price, how could you go wrong?
This bar stool is absolutely stunning. I love the molded seat and the natural wood combined with the iron frame. This seat would work well in modern or traditional spaces.
I'm not sure how well this would work with the style of my space, but I like the question mark silhouette.
This chair is so sleek and gorgeous. It wouldn't really go with our kid-friendly, rustic styling, but the lines are so beautiful and soft. I'm sure if I saw it in someone's home, I wouldn't be able to stop stroking it.
This old-world style barstool is not only affordable, but fun with the exaggerated curved legs. I could see this pairing well with Edison light bulbs.Next: How to Choose the Right Bar Stool for Kitchen Island or Counter
I can't get over the mix of blond wood and bright white. These stools look classy, sturdy and unique from anything I've seen around the big-box stores in my area.
