Bar Stools vs Counter Stools
Our bar stools are suited to taller tables, whereas counter stools are shorter and designed to fit standard kitchen counters. Check our measurement diagram for a comparison, and always be sure to order the correct size for your seating area. Precise dimensions can also be found on each individual product page. For extra height flexibility, consider one of our adjustable bar stools with gas lift functionality.

1. How to choose the best bar stool

There are a number of factors to consider when picking your ideal bar stool. Based on your personal preference, decide whether you’d like bar chairs with backs or footrests, then be sure to measure your space before buying. Your bar stool should sit at a comfortable height compared to your table, and you should leave enough surrounding space for easy access. We do have a selection of adjustable bar stools which allow you to customise the height, along with swivel bar stools which are perfect for getting in and out of tight spaces. Read our Will It Fit? guide for more advice on measuring for your Barker and Stonehouse furniture effectively.

2. What areas can bar stools be used in?

Bar stools are perfect for your kitchen and dining room, especially when using a high table or bar table. They make a great addition to your seating area when socialising, and work best in larger sets to seat more guests.

3. Should bar stools match your dining area?

Your bar chairs don’t necessarily have to match your dining seats, but keeping common elements between the two can add a sense of balance to your space. Rather than using identical chairs, consider keeping some similarities such as material or colour, and varying the design.

4. How to care for your bar stools

When looking after your bar stools, be mindful of the materials used, as different designs will require different maintenance routines. Our furniture care guides give details on how to care for leather, fabric, wood, and more. Be sure to keep sharp objects away from your bar chairs to prevent damage, and mop up spills as soon as possible to avoid staining.
