We’ve Found the Best Designer Stools for Eve...

A bar or kitchen counter is the quintessential gathering place in the home. On one side, someone can prepare a meal or snacks. On the opposite side, people can sit and chat, or work on school projects. So, having a set of functional bar stools with that extra oomph of style is important. But high-end designer stores would have you believe that bar stools cost too much, are difficult to choose, and can be a headache when they don’t live up to your expectations.

None of this has to be true. We have the scoop on bar stools that fit every style, need, and budget. Even if you want to use your stools as part of your design, and not just at the bar, we have stools for that, too!

Designer Bar Stools Under $150

Bar stools don’t have to break the bank and cheap stools don’t have to be ugly. Modern, vintage, sleek, crafty, and even the best replica stools are available for less than $150 each! We especially love the Tucker Bar/Counter Stool with its Walnut coloured base and bright yellow cushion. The modern curved seat combined with the richly coloured and sturdy oak base make this stool compatible with many spaces. It’s also just a really simple stool that provides a pop of colour and style in your home. As a low stool, this bar stool has the perfect dimensions for a counter-height bar.

Sets of Stools

Purchasing your bar stools in a set can get you more bang for your buck. The sleek curves and smooth lines of the walnut coloured Prato Wood Bar Stool set would be perfect in a home with a quaint and cosy bar space.
