Tips for Picking the Perfect Kitchen Counter Stools | GWGOutlet

From height to material, there are several factors that are essential to consider before committing to kitchen counter stools. But no need to worry! We’ve collected all of our favorite tips for choosing the perfect kitchen counter stools, all in this simple guide.


In search of the perfect counter stools?

While kitchen counter stools make it easy to entertain and visit with friends and family, knowing which is the right counter stool for your space is a process that can quickly become overwhelming. We put together tips here to help you with the process of choosing that perfect kitchen counter stool, from start to finish.


What’s the difference between a counter stool and a bar stool?

Before laying out the go-tos for picking the right kitchen counter stools, you want to be sure it’s counter stools you need and not bar stools.

Counter stools typically stand between 24” to 26” inches from floor to seat, while a bar stool stands 28” to 30” floor to seat. Try to select kitchen counter stools that allow for 9” to 12” of space between the bottom of the countertop and the top of the counter stool – this ensures the stool will slide easily beneath the counter and everyone’s legs have plenty of room.


Determine the height of the kitchen counter stool you need.

When considering height, you do not want to play the guessing game – it’s extremely important to have counter stools that allow you and your guests to sit comfortably. This is an especially crucial step if you're ordering online, so… time to bust out that tape measure!

Start with taking down the height of your current countertop. Measuring the height of your countertop is typically pretty straightforward: counter height is typically 36" from floor to surface, and bar height is 42", so you want to be sure and pair counter stools with counter-level seating, and same for bar stools with bar-level seating areas.

Sometimes people can run into issues when their countertop height is in between 36” to 42” – we see this in many custom homes where clients may be a bit taller and prefer to have their countertop higher than the 36”. It’s also possible that some countertops have an apron, or a lip, on the edge. This can cause less space between the seat and the bottom of the apron countertop. You want enough leg room to let people slide in and out of the seat, so in cases like these, just keep the 9” to 12” rule in mind and measure your counter height accordingly.


Choose a style of kitchen counter stools that suits your lifestyle and taste.

Depending on your lifestyle, there are various reasons to choose one style of stool over another. Whatever you choose, you want to love the way it looks, right? We suggest choosing stools as functional as they are lovely because these are pieces you and your family will use every day.


Backless Kitchen Counter Stools

Backless stools may not always be the most comfortable option but are easy to tuck and conceal under the counter. This makes them visually less distracting, which is ideal for tight spaces or if you don’t want the focus of the kitchen to be on the stools. It is also important to note that guests may not sit as long in a backless stool due to comfort.


Kitchen Counter Stools with Arms

Stools with arms are exemplary for comfort, making them an ideal option if you and your family and friends plan to occupy them often. However, they may be more difficult to slide beneath a counter and can be a tasteful focus of your kitchen. If you have another statement piece or design element you’d rather have as the focal point of your kitchen space, counter stools with arms may not be the right choice for you.
