If you’re spending hours trawling social media and interior websites trying to find the right bar stool for you - fear not because we’ve compiled this convenient guide. Whether you’re the proud owner of a charming country pile, minimalist wonderland or eclectic abode, we’ve got the stool for you.
The colourful family kitchen

Your kitchen is the heart of the home, and it's where sticky, jammy fingers meet Friday night cocktails with friends. You want something that says ‘We’re not regular parents, we’re cool parents.’ That’s exactly why introducing industrial elements such as the Singer Bar Stool is perfect for adding a little edge while keeping comfort the priority. Equipped with generous footrests for little humans to prop their weary trotters on top of, each Singer is inspired by the original 1920s machinist design and is handmade in India from cast iron and supple buffalo leather. Uniquely versatile, they are also available in a choice of heights.
The rustic & romantic country Shaker

Yes, your kitchen looks like a perfectly put-together set for a wholesome family drama set in the Cotswolds. Or, like it’s been ripped straight from the pages of Country Living. Tasteful, classic and acting as your visual ode to slow living and simpler times, our rustic Farmhouse Bar Stool is just the ticket. Great for pairing with both countertops of thick butchers-block or contemporary marble, you can use them to pull out other wooden or traditional accents in the room. Hand-honed from solid Ash wood, the stool is available in a choice of rustic wood finishes and two different heights.

Whether there’s some ribbed glass in your cupboard doors or reclaimed parquet flooring below them, you should opt for the chunky wood base and hand-stitched leather upholstery of our Gibson.

Renovating a Victorian terrace? An avid fan of the nouveau vintage feel? Hold the Dustin and embrace the Hoffman. Classic, tailored and finished in the tasteful combination of natural and black, our Hoffman Bar Stools are entirely made by hand using solid beech and inserts of cane webbing.

The industrial, loft-inspired space

Because we’ve all fantasised about living in an old factory or warehouse at some point. Think full-length Crittall doors, vibrant art prints and statement reclaimed goodies as far as the eye can see. If you’re lucky enough to own a space like this, you’ll need to ensure you do it justice with your choice of bar stools. For an industrial kitchen with retro elements, our Brooklyn Bar Stool is the ideal option. Blending both sporty with sexy, the Brooklyn features tapering metal legs finished in black, with a comfortable, chair-like seat that provides cushioned support when sitting back. As these chairs are handmade using genuine leather, you’ll also enjoy some unique variations in texture and tone. Delicious.
The bohemian bistro

We get it - you’re happiest somewhere sun-soaked. Be it Ibiza, Mykonos or Byron Bay, the beach ultimately has your heart and rattan is your religion. While the Wishbone-Inspired Olson above is a great option for your space, we have another strong contender which is less Scandi and more exotic. Picture our French Rattan Bistro Bar Stool all up in your kitchen, sitting pretty alongside your white marble surfaces and lush, leafy houseplants. Entirely handmade from a combination of natural fibres and wood, this bistro-inspired bar stool is also a traditional option that can work well in antique spaces too.
