Here’s something you may not have thought about – even if you don’t have a bar area in your game room or rec room, you should still consider getting a kitchen bar stool or two to strategically place around in the room. This idea is not as weird as it may seem at first, and presents some very stylish and practical solutions to seating problems when you have parties and other get-togethers.

Once you begin your search for the right kitchen bar stools to fit your style and taste you will likely find that the choices can become a bit overwhelming. But never fear, just take your time and enjoy the search and you will be sure to find some bar stools that are just right for your décor. It would probably be a good idea to first look around your game room area and decide where the best places to put your stools would be, and also to consider what height you may want them to be. 24” bar stools and 30” bar stools are two of the most popular heights and you do not need to be restricted to only one height either – you can mix the seat heights up depending on the different seating situations you may have. For example, if you have a pool table, a couple of extra tall kitchen bar stools would be really neat to have on hand for people to be able to sit comfortably and watch the action. Or if you’ve got a nice TV viewing area, you may want to get a couple of 24 inch swivel bar stools with backs and padded seats for extra guests.

A few top name-brand kitchen bar stools you can look for are are Hillsdale, Home Elegance, Powell, Armen Living, Pulaski and Winsome. Of course there are lots of others as well, ranging from discount to custom-made. Choices abound on the internet, but it would serve you well to seek out dealers that offer free shipping, as kitchen bar stools can get pretty heavy, especially the solid wood or iron ones with swivel-seat hardware on them. You also may prefer to look locally for stores that have a nice selection because there is no substitute for being able to sit on a stool before you buy it.

Remember to just take your time, do a little research and have some fun looking and sorting through all the choices available. Your due diligence will pay off with years of stylishly functional stools and your friends will be pleasantly surprised at your outside-the-box thinking!
