Industrial Bar Stools and Counter Stools

Trendy, chic and full of personality, a set of industrial bar stools might be just the thing to give your home a little update. This style of chair is typically made with leather, reclaimed wood or metal — or a combination of all three. Considerably versatile, industrial counter stools can fit with a variety of interior spaces, whether you’re decorating a farmhouse kitchen or an urban apartment.

Hone Your Style

As you begin your search, narrow down what sort of style you’re going for and what designs you tend to like. Going for a modern farmhouse look? Then you should search for rustic industrial bar stools made either entirely from reclaimed wood, or with a wooden seat and metal legs. Opt for simple detailing to align with a more old-fashioned, vintage drafting stool aesthetic. On the other hand, if your style is more contemporary, look for modern industrial bar stools that feature a metallic sheen or an angular shape. In any case, dark powder-coated metal is classic.

Choose Your Features

Bar stools and counter stools are typically a bit more functional and casual than traditional dining chairs, and this rings even more true when you’re going for an industrial style. Think about what sort of features you can’t do without. Bar stools with backs make lounging and dining for an extended period of time much more comfortable. And those that swivel facilitate easy cocktail party chatter. You can even find industrial bar stools with adjustable back heights — perfect for matching with a variety of tabletops or counters.
