Bar stools
are indispensable in today's interior. They are used at the standing or bar
table, the kitchen island, the counter, at the bar or in the office. In
addition to the style and comfort of the bar stool, the height of both the bar
stool and the (bar) table will also be an important factor in choosing the
right bar stool. Finding the right bar stools for your kitchen, standing table
or bar is therefore a real challenge.
Depending
on your user's purpose, the bar stool will have to have the correct height and
seat height. Below are therefore a number of tips and things to take into
account when purchasing a bar stool.
The
correct height of the bar stool
Take the
height of the bar or counter (counter, kitchen island, lower bar) height. To
determine which bar stool you need, measure the height of the bar, the cooking
island, the standing table, etc.
For a
comfortable seat, observe the following rule of thumb: The ideal distance
between the top of the table or work surface and the top of the seat is between
25 and 30 centimeters. This ensures that you have space left between the bottom
of the leaf and your legs (this will be approximately 10 centimeters
The seat
height of a fixed bar stool is not adjustable. All the more reason to take good
account of the height of the bar stool and the height of the table on which you
want to place the bar stool. The seat height of fixed bar stools usually varies
between 60 to 82 centimeters (with 65 and 75 cm being the most common seat
heights.
1. The
counterstool. (Seat height about 65 centimeters)
The
(fixed) bar stools with a seat height between 60 and 67 centimeters (usually 65
cm) are also called counterstools or counter bar stools, these are suitable for
placing on a kitchen island or lower bar. The ideal height of the top for these
bar stools is between 90 and 100 centimeters.
2. Bar
stools. (seat height around 75 centimeters)
Bar stools
usually have a seat height between 70 and 78 cm (the most common is 75 cm).
These bar stools are suitable for placing on a (for example) bar table with a
height between 100 and 110 centimeters.
3.
Adjustable bar stool
The seat
height of an adjustable bar stool can be adjusted to your own needs. Practical
for when the bar stool is used by different people or when the bar stool wants
to use both on (for example) the kitchen island and at the bar.
How many
bar stools do my bar fit?
It is
important to ensure that there is enough space between the bar stools so that
people can eat, drink and do social work without bumping the elbows. There are
a number of rules of thumb to determine how many bar stools you can store at
the bar or kitchen island. Generally (normal width) you count for a comfortable
seat for each barstool (person) 60 centimeters of space. So as a calculation
example, place 5 bar stools at a 3-meter bar (divide 300 cm by 60 cm).
You
logically take a little more space for a wide bar stool than for a narrow bar
stool and take a little more space, therefore:
If the
width of the bar stool is between 40 and 45 cm you expect 53 to 58 cm of space.
If the
width of the bar stool is between 46 and 55 cm, you calculate 59 to 64 cm of
space.
Keep in
mind that you charge more space for a rotating barstool (360 degrees).
Style of
the bar stool
In
addition to the dimensions of a bar stool, there are of course various other
factors that you should take into account when purchasing a bar stool. Do you
really want to make a design statement or just a modest seat, the bar stools
fit well in the room where you want to place them and what seating comfort
should the bar stool have. The answers to this help you to determine which bar
stool fits perfectly in your room!
