Chic and designer stools for a touch of style and personality in your home

Chic and designer stools: furniture characterised by an innovative, refined, modern and elegant design, capable of giving your home a touch of style and personality.

Today we would like to provide you with important advice and suggestions to help you choose and purchase stools for your kitchen or living room, in the name of modernity and style.

Stools are comfortable, elegant pieces of furniture that are perfect for any room, from the kitchen to the living room and the study. Here's how to choose the perfect stool for your space.

How to choose the perfect stool

With the advent and spread of open-plan spaces, stools have become an extremely popular point of reference for furnishing domestic spaces. The characteristics and peculiarities of a stool are its great practicality and functionality, as well as its ability to express itself in the most diverse styles and designs.

The choice of the best stool that can concretely respond to your needs and technical and style requirements cannot disregard the safety factor: if, for example, you are about to purchase stools for the kitchen that will be used by your family and also by your children, you certainly cannot neglect the aspect linked to the safety and security of your children. Our advice is to choose stools with four legs to ensure maximum stability on the ground. If, on the other hand, you prefer stools with a single central base, make sure that the base is extremely solid and heavy.

Another factor that needs to be considered carefully when choosing a stool is the height: you will have to ask yourself whether you want to buy low or high design stools. When choosing the height of a stool, you should consider the fact that unfortunately not all seats are able to express a satisfactory level of comfort. To help you make an informed choice, here's an interesting fact: it is very important that there is about 25 to 35 cm between the seat of the stool and the top of the table or desk. Once this has been ascertained, you can purchase the stool model that best suits your taste and that can combine perfectly with the style of your environment.

Learning to furnish with stools

Learning to furnish with stools means being able to give a touch of style and personality to your environments: choosing, for example, to set up stools in your kitchen means providing yourself with comfortable and convenient seats, which you can always keep on hand, perhaps hidden in a corner of the kitchen.

In particular, if your house is not particularly large, furnishing with stools may be the ideal solution to enhance your environment: the main feature of stools is that they are furniture that does not take up much space and at the same time are characterised by a marked versatility. These characteristics make stools particularly suitable for small spaces.

A stool is also a piece of furniture capable of taking on different functions within a home. For example, in a study room the presence of a stool is very important: within this space a stool can be used both as a seat and as a momentary support surface.

A stool with a flat base could instead be used as a small bedside table.

In the bathroom, a stool can also be used for different purposes: for example, you can place a stool next to the bathtub and use it as a support for bath foam, creams and beauty products. Alternatively, you can use a wooden stool to hold beautiful coloured flowers.

Last but not least, stools are an excellent opportunity to complete the decoration of outdoor spaces, such as verandas, balconies or terraces. You can use the higher stools as a base for flowerpots or small lanterns. The lower stools can be used as seats to enjoy the pleasant spring and summer days.

As we have emphasised several times in this article, a stool is not simply a piece of furniture that you can use as a seat, but on the contrary an element that can perform several functions in your indoor and outdoor spaces: for this reason stools are must-have pieces of furniture in every living context.

Elly, your retro vintage design stool

Elly is a fantastic design stool that expresses itself in decidedly vintage retro lines. A particular stylistic feature of this stool is the perfect combination of the seat in bleached beech, Canaletto walnut and natural oak, with the structure painted in different finishes (anthracite, chrome, satin brass effect, and even shiny black nickel).

This beautiful stool will give your kitchen or living room a typically 70s atmosphere. Thanks to its lines and aesthetic characteristics, the Elly stool is also the perfect piece of furniture to be placed in the furnishing context of a bar or trendy club.
