Peninsula stools: today we will give you some important advice and indications on how to choose these furnishings for your home. Kitchen stools are very particular furnishing elements, able to give great personality to your spaces.
The stools are born as a type of seating typical of bars, usually placed next to the counter. In recent years, however, these furnishing elements have also gained a foothold in the home, particularly in the kitchen and living area. In particular, stools are now particularly useful in a kitchen with a peninsula or an island with a counter; the latter is very useful for snacks, quick snacks or breakfast.
There are many models of stools on the market today: for this reason it is very important to give you some information about the characteristics of these furnishings, to help you make the best choice and purchase.
There are really many versions of stools available on the market today: high, low, with or without backrest, with or without armrests, and still adjustable, swivel, stackable, four-legged or with central leg.
Regardless of the different features and peculiarities, the stools undoubtedly represent a versatile seat capable of adding charm to the peninsula or island of your kitchen, making it perfect for a quick lunch or a snack.
Beyond the aspect related to style and design, when choosing a stool it is very important to calculate the right height of the furniture. The height of a stool must be chosen according to the height of the counter. The best rule to follow is to choose the height of the stool respectively 25, 35 centimetres lower than the one characterising the table top.
Alternatively, for the choice of this furniture you can consider the option of purchasing adjustable stools: these are extremely functional models, adjustable in height according to your needs and requirements.
If there are small children in the house, when choosing the stools the safety aspect must not be overlooked. In these circumstances, we recommend the purchase of more stable stools with four legs, not including models that simply have a large central leg.
If you use the stools for lunch or dinner on a daily basis, it is extremely important to pay due attention to the comfort factor: in this regard, our advice is to buy stools with a backrest so that you can lean and rest your back.
One of the best stools available on the market, capable of harmoniously calibrating style and comfort is certainly the Losine stool: it is a piece of furniture that expresses itself in modern and clean lines and is available in various colours. This model of stool has a structure and seat in polypropylene, with a seat height of 67 centimetres.
Comfort and comfort are two aspects of fundamental importance when choosing a stool. As far as comfort is concerned, there are a number of factors to consider when choosing a stool:
A stool with backrest is certainly more comfortable and comfortable than a piece of furniture without this peculiarity. As previously stated, a stool with backrest represents the compulsory choice of those who own a peninsula or island used as a snack floor, to be used every day for breakfast, lunch or dinner. On the market it is possible to find stools with a high backrest, or alternatively with a barely mentioned backrest: the latter are very common, since the presence of a low backrest allows the design of the furniture not to be affected, keeping its clean lines.
Stools with armrests are, on the other hand, rarer: these furnishings are in fact more bulky and also have a greater impact from an aesthetic point of view. Obviously the comfort of a stool equipped with armrests is absolutely unique and not comparable to furniture without this accessory.
Finally, in order to benefit from the maximum comfort in the seat, it is possible to buy stools equipped with footrests: this accessory is particularly useful and comfortable especially for people of small stature. However, even tall people confirm that they benefit from the presence of this detail. To improve the comfort of your seat, you can also opt for stools with padded seats.
As far as the practicality of these furnishings is concerned, it is important to consider the use we will make of our stools. If we have to put the stools next to a peninsula, we can, for example, opt for the choice of swivel models: in this way we can use the stool both for lunch or dinner, to watch television or to converse comfortably with our family or guests.
Another aspect to be assessed with particular attention, always with reference to the functionality of the furniture, concerns the material with which it has been made. There are in fact some materials that are particularly practical for cleaning operations and that do not require special care: for example a leather bar stool will require special care, attention and constant maintenance.
Usually the stools are made with the help of wood, iron or plastic materials. The material will obviously have to be chosen according to the style of your environment: if, for example, our house is characterized by a classic style, it is better to choose stools made of solid wood. If, on the contrary, our spaces are expressed in a modern and young style, in this case it is better to choose stools made of plastic materials. It should be noted that both wood and plastic materials are easy to clean and do not require special care. In addition, to guarantee maximum comfort, do not underestimate the size of the seat of the stool: the latter can be chosen according to each individual need and specific necessity.
If in the spaces of your kitchen or living area there are other types of seating such as classic chairs, in this case it is a good idea to choose stools able to coordinate with the other seats in the spaces: in this regard you can choose stools of the same colour or shape as the chairs.
