Inspiration and Advice
Styles of Kitchen Stools
When choosing your kitchen, designers will often suggest letting the overall architecture of your home guide and inform your decision. This helps ensure that your new room feels in keeping with the rest of your interior, creating a complementary and pleasing overall aesthetic. We offer the same advice when choosing kitchen stools. Furniture is typically selected after the room itself has been designed, so before making your purchase, it’s worth considering the style you’re aiming to achieve. "Normally, we choose stools to match the style of the kitchen, selecting seating that will enhance the existing décor for a harmonious look. However, you may prefer statement pieces that stand out and act as an eye-catching focal point. These can bring a room to life just as effectively as subtler options." You should also consider the purpose and use of the stool, as this will inevitably influence the materials and design you choose. For example, will it be used for quick cups of coffee or as a handy perch while preparing dinner? Or are you likely to use it for longer periods, such as eating meals, completing homework or watching TV? Likewise, if you’re conscious of space and are after a discreet model that can be neatly tucked beneath the worktop for compact storage, you’ll need a very different style of stool from someone seeking a grander, more luxurious seat where comfort takes priority. Certain materials may create the desired look but may not always suit your day-to-day practical needs. Variety of Styles Available Our range of kitchen stools comes in a whole host of different styles, making it easy to create a variety of fashionable looks. Below, we outline some of the main options available. Traditional & Classic Elegant and timeless, traditional kitchen stools are formal in style and can introduce a sense of occasion wherever they’re placed. Combining conventional materials with enduring designs, four-legged wooden models remain a firm favourite with many customers. Solid oak and walnut finishes have lasting appeal and are often completed with cushioned seat pads in tasteful neutral shades of leather or fabric. A classic example is the Knightsbridge, a graceful yet substantial design with timeless charm. Country & Rustic Whilst similar to their classic counterparts, country kitchen stools are generally less formal, instead characterised by simple, subtle and understated designs. Making use of natural textures, organic materials and earthy colours, these four-legged models are ideal for creating a relaxed farmhouse-inspired look. Exuding rustic character, products such as the Tetbury bring a familiar and homely feel that works beautifully in more traditional kitchen settings. Modern & Contemporary Delivering a technical edge, modern kitchen stools make use of contemporary materials and the latest technology. Mirrored chrome, brushed steel, ABS plastic and translucent acrylic are all popular choices thanks to their sleek finishes and clean, futuristic feel. With trademark clean-cut lines, bold colours and minimalist shapes, modern designs often feature single-column, Z-shaped and cantilever frames for striking visual effect. As seen in the Padded Crescent, contemporary stools can also incorporate practical features such as gas lift mechanisms and 360-degree swivel for greater flexibility. Funky & Retro Fusing past with present, our retro stools are full of character. For a nostalgic look, American diner-inspired designs hark back to the roadside diners of the 1950s through the use of faux leather and polished mirrored chrome. Making use of bolder colours and more daring shapes, many of our funky kitchen stools take inspiration from the expressive trends of the 1960s. Often sculpted from brightly coloured ABS plastic and acrylic, a prime example is the Coco. Vintage & Industrial For those looking for something a little different, our vintage industrial collection has been designed to replicate classic factory, warehouse-style and vintage designs. Packed with distinctive statement pieces, the collection offers plenty of choice for both domestic and commercial spaces. For a softer vintage look that suits a range of interiors, fixed-height designs like the Mustang Antique Bar Stool are a great choice. Alternatively, authentically styled repurposed-inspired pieces such as the Vintage Swivel Stool make striking accent pieces. To explore the full collection, take a look at our Industrial Bar Stools. Of course, this is by no means an exhaustive list, and our products are not limited to these main categories. There are many stylish subcategories, including antique, Arts & Crafts, Tuscan, luxury and Scandinavian styles, to name just a few. You may prefer to mix and match between them, creating a look tailored to the décor of your kitchen and your individual needs. Many of our designs fit comfortably into more than one category, so why not browse our full range of kitchen stools to find the perfect match for your space?

Bar Stools for Beauty Salons
The perfect addition to any hair salon, nail bar or beauty parlour are bar stools, offering practical functionality as well as high-end style. Often purchased in multiples, the correct bar stool can bring your business to life and rejuvenate the salon environment. It’s important to remember that the comfortable type of seating you choose for your clients will differ from the more practical models you may prefer for your stylists. Yet whilst differing in purpose, style is crucial for both to ensure your business stands out from the rest. With a wide range of striking styles, shapes and materials on offer - including retro, contemporary, classic and artistic designs - you’re guaranteed to find the ideal bar stool for your salon. Salon Stools for Clients Comfort is key when selecting the correct salon stool for your clients, especially for those longer treatments and styling sessions. Invite clients to sit back and relax by choosing a cushioned seat, high backrest and padded armrests for optimum support. A comfortable, restful session will result in a happy customer, enticing them to come back and recommend friends. Vice versa, a model with minimal support and little padding will leave them dissatisfied, uncomfortable and unlikely to return. A stable, stationary base is also recommended, ensuring your clients remain still for those crucial styling moments. Stools for Stylists, Beauticians and Technicians However it isn’t just your clients that deserve the special treatment. We offer a range of practical and versatile stools perfect for stylists, beauticians and technicians alike. For hair stylists we recommend roller wheels with nylon casters on a 5 spoke base, much like those on an office chair. These allow ultimate mobility and enable you to manoeuvre into the perfect styling position, gliding over any type of floor to grab the essentials from your shelf or storeroom. Plus, many designs are backless for easy accessibility. For stationary beauticians and technicians we recommend non-roller models which value comfort over mobility. Designs such as the Monza, Mint and Lush offer support as well as practicality, the padded backrest providing added comfort for a full days work. Additional Factors Affecting your Choice For clients and stylists alike, choose stools which operate a gas lift mechanism for adjustable height. This will enable you to effortlessly raise and lower the client according to height, allowing you to work with ease. The 360 degree swivel lets you rotate your client; complete accessibility and perfect positioning ensuring you deliver that killer look. Furthermore, swivel capabilities allow you to inspect all angles, including those hard to reach places, whilst maintaining a comfortable position for both client and stylist. Seat material should also be taken in to account. If you’re looking for a touch of luxury, real leather will deliver the unmistakable glamour of many high-end establishments. Transforming the generic into the genteel, sumptuous real leather will single-handedly set you apart from your competitors. Conversely, faux leather stools are an inexpensive alternative that keeps the opulent, premium look. More resilient to stains and harsh chemicals than genuine leather, it can be easily cleaned; simply wipe with a damp cloth should any spillages occur and brush off any residual hair. High-density foam padding in models such as the Padded Crescent, with its accommodating seat and supportive curved backrest, will ensure supreme comfort. We also offer a wide range of ergonomic styles sculpted from stylish ABS, such as the Bamboo and Gloss Coco models. Characterised by their slick sheen's, smart shapes and comely colours, they are expertly shaped to the body for excellent support. For a girlish ambience, choose pastel shades of pinks and creams that exude effeminacy, transforming your salon into a womanly wonderland. However if a more sophisticated, refined look is preferred, black and white are sleek and versatile options, infusing your salon with that designer touch. In addition, ABS resin is extremely hard-wearing, long-lasting and impact resistant, ideal for a fast paced styling environment. Like the seat material, we recommend you choose the frame for your stools based on the overall style of your salon. If a classic look is what you’re after, wood comes in a variety of polished grains from walnut to oak, offering traditional, timeless appeal. For a hard-wearing and low maintenance alternative, select an elegant brushed steel or glossy mirrored chrome finish. Modern and minimalist, both are eye-catching and contemporary, ensuring your business is a cut above the rest.

Low Stools for the Home
In recent years, we have observed an increase in the popularity of low stools for the home. These items represent a great range of furniture that provides the style and glamour, but sits at a lower height (approx 45cm), making them the perfect accompaniment to dining tables, desks and coffee tables. The emergence of low stools has been due to popular demand, and can be largely attributed to the advent of open living, with large, interconnected rooms that serve a multitude of purposes. Having an open space necessitates matching styles for different areas around the home, and so low stools are commonly regarded as an ideal addition to any set of bar stools. "Often built on the same seat frames as bigger stools, a low stool offers all the advantages of having a designer style, with the added bonus of a lower seating height." Designs like the Deluxe Brushed High Back give a uniform look to an interior, as they can be used at full height at a breakfast bar or kitchen counter, then at their lowest height around the dining room table. Another reason why low stools are becoming more popular is due to contemporary kitchen design, where different height worktops are becoming the norm. Often, the kitchen counter has a lowered "table" section in addition to the usual worktop, a designated bar area where people can sit for breakfast or a few evening drinks. This has necessitated the use of low stools, as normal bar stools can often prove to be too tall to use in such circumstances. Although they are designed with such purpose in mind, they can also be used in a number of places around the home. Many people prefer using a low stool to a chair as they often rotate, and like the Bullet Stool, may even employ a variable height gas lift mechanism. This creates a much more dynamic seating layout. They are very effective as work station chairs, making it easy to access the immediate area, and can also be used in bedrooms as gaming chairs or at a dressing table. Utilised as occasional seating, products such as the Clementine deliver both style and substance. The round base on such items is often a desirable characteristic, with the chrome plated conical style giving a retro touch that really catches the eye. And now, low stools are available in the form of bar stools with wheels. Designs such as the Rochelle Office Chair implement the 5 spoke base and nylon casters that are a distinguishing feature of office chairs, allowing easy movement over any type of flooring. Much more stylish than utilitarian office equipment, such designs are very desirable and can transform your home office into a welcoming environment. Treat yourself to some low stools for your home and you may just be surprised by just how versatile these items are. Proving that sometimes, big things really do come in small packages, these stunning items are set to impress.
The Beauty of Wooden Stools
A tried and tested material, wood has been used for centuries to craft an innumerable number of items. What makes it so appealing is the ease in which is can be cut and the array of beautiful shapes that can be sculpted from it. Vastly popular due to its durable qualities and natural beauty, it has a charming quality that exudes a homely warmth and timeless glow wherever it’s placed. Once a constant staple in interior design, it fell out of fashion in the 90s; as oak kitchens declined in use, as did their matching stools. Yet in recent years there has been a total revival and wood is once again highly sought after with the rise of classic décor, country chic and rustic farmhouse trends. "Whilst wooden bar stools once meant conventional four-legged frames, this is now no longer the case. Though traditional models have retained their popularity, there has also been an influx of fabulous new styles using state-of-the-art technological processes to bring you the very latest designs." Oslo Oak Bar Stool Physical Properties A naturally strong and durable material, wood makes for incredibly hard-wearing and resilient bar stools that will last a long time. Characteristically dependable, it ages well with worn or rubbed areas simply developing an elegant sheen that gives it all the more character. Lacquered or laminated finishes have a clear coat that protects the surface from scratching and spillages. Highly practical models, their wipe clean surface allows quick and easy maintenance. Unlike metal stools that may have sharper edges, wooden frames have a smoother, gentler surface making them favourable for your floors. The majority do not come with floor protectors, for the simple reason that they’re not needed on most hard floor surfaces like stone, granite and ceramic tiles. However if you have a soft floor, made of bamboo for example, we would recommend you invest in felt protectors for the underside of the legs to be on the safe side. Aesthetic Qualities Available in a variety of different types from oak to walnut, each has its own signature style that distinguishes it from the rest. Exuding a warm homely vibe, oak has a rustic country feel and organic charm that makes it a firm favourite with many. Conversely walnut is darker and richer in appearance, with a more ornate and mature look to it that has been reclaimed in many modern kitchen designs. The array of natural grains gives each piece of furniture its own individuality, whilst the various shades of stains – for example light, mid or dark oak – illustrate the wealth of options wood presents. There are also a number of finishes that can be utilised for different effects. Whilst polished surfaces exude a sleek glossy sheen, for a more natural appearance you may prefer a smooth oiled finish that’s equally attractive. Our products also use coloured painted lacquer for a clean-cut, contemporary feel, as seen in the Apres. Whilst black provides a chic, elegant look that’s always in style, white delivers a crisp, fresh radiance that’s a must for minimalist interiors. There’s no doubt that wooden bar stools work beautifully with traditional kitchens with matching cabinets, but did you know they can enhance modern settings with trendy state-of-the-art décor just as well. Take Scandinavian style interiors for example, their simple colour palettes effortlessly complimented by rustic wooden framed furniture, as seen in the Drift. Modern Styling With the advancements in technology, a whole host of exciting new designs have been made available. There’s been an influx of contrasting materials, where wood has been combined with a variety of different textures for an assortment of practical and aesthetic reasons. For example if you require a stool on which to sit for extended periods, you may prefer a model with a little more padding than a hard seat offers. Therefore why not choose a wooden frame with a high-density foam seat in fabric or leather, as seen in sumptuously cushioned products like the Amazon. Delivering the best of both worlds, they put your comfort first whilst maintaining the natural look. With the evolution in kitchen design, there has been a demand for stools to match contemporary appliances and worktops. This has resulted in wooden seats being paired with ultra-modern metallic frames in mirrored chrome and brushed steel, for a sublime fusion of materials to catch the eye. Not only does metal deliver a chic futuristic look, but single stem frames make a multitude of things possible. With a host of fabulous features, the Eve (pictured below) is a classic example that boasts a gas lift mechanism for adjustable height and 360 degree swivel capabilities for optimum accessibility. Also modeled by the Eve is the introduction of bentwood, its high-pressure moulding method allowing for the intricate crafting of stunning curved shapes and designs. A form of plywood is often used which is laminated which enables it to bend easily, whilst retaining its strength, creating impressive ergonomic stools that encompass the body for added support. Contrasting colours are another feature utilised for striking visual flair. Dark walnut and cream faux leather work in perfect unison to create a stunning two tone effect that will enhance the look of any interior, as seen in the Harper (pictured above).

Similarly, the frames do not require much in the way of attention, enabling you to make the most of your purchase without having to worry about keeping things clean!" Types of Frames Varied in style and shape, our table frames come in an array of traditional designs alongside more contemporary options. Whether you’re looking for a single column or conventional four legs, they are available in a choice of chic finishes. Whilst mirrored chrome is a classic option and firm favourite, newer satin models embrace a hand-worked finish to blend beautifully with modern kitchen appliances. A circular base maximises the amount of space under the table for optimum accessibility, allowing you to easily slide your chairs underneath. Furthermore, circular designs can create a striking contrast in rooms where sharp, angular lines rule the roost. Their softer shape tends to impart a calming effect and exudes a harmonious aesthetic wherever they’re placed. Without doubt, dining tables are a staple feature of any beautiful home.

Office Chair Materials
At Atlantic Shopping, we have a great range of Office Chairs, with an ergonomic design to suit everyone. While most chairs typically feature high-density foam filling for support and comfort, we have models upholstered in leather, faux leather, fabric and mesh, each with its own look, feel and purpose. It’s important to choose a chair in a material to suit you, to improve comfort and increase productivity. Fabric Known for its durability, fabric is a popular choice for operator models, its hardwearing nature coping well with daily use. Characteristically warmer than leather, it’s ideal for colder environments or when the chair is left unoccupied for long periods. In addition, it’s breathable, making it more comfortable and less susceptible to temperature changes. Plus, fabric is available in a huge range of colours, providing a variety that is not available in other materials. Mesh Fabric Mesh fabric is often used in office chairs. Sometimes replacing padding, the nature of mesh ensures that it’s just as comfortable as its springy nature responds to the body shape. Highly breathable, it allows the air to circulate easily, ensuring that the user remains cool and fresh. Furthermore, mesh models are lighter than their padded counterparts, making moving them around all the easier. Leather & Faux Leather At the top end of the range, Real Leather Office Chairs offer a high-end, executive look and feel. More resistant to stains and easier to clean than fabric models, it needs only a quick wipe down with a damp cloth. With its signature look, feel and smell, leather gives a sense of quality and luxuriousness. If your budget’s a little tighter, Faux Leather Office Chairs possess many of the desirable qualities of leather with a smaller price tag. Durable, low maintenance and simple to clean, it offers the best of both worlds, plus its smooth synthetic surface does not have any markings or imperfections, providing a more even and uniform finish. With so many choices, you’ll be sure to find your perfect model here at Atlantic Shopping.

Differences Between Office Chair Types
To get the best out of your office chair, you first need to decide what type it is you need. There are four main categories available, each suited to its particular usage. This article will talk you through the advantages of each one in turn, exploring their defining features to ensure you select the ideal design for you and your workspace. Operator Style Also known as task chairs, operator style office chairs are found in most offices. Whilst cheaper than other more premium models, they possess many ergonomic features. Indeed, their functionality is in their name. Designed to aid the task of operator type professions, for example typists, their upright shape supports an ergonomic seating position for those working at a computer all day. Shaped to the natural s-shape of the spine, they encourage good posture and provide quality lumbar support, with an adjustable tilt backrest so each user can vary the position of the back for their comfort. A gas lift mechanism in the frame provides variable height, a great feature if multiple people could be using the chair as each user can adjust it to their individual requirements. Set on a five spoke nylon caster base for optimum mobility, it allows workers to glide round the office with ease. Plus, 360 swivel enhances its easy manoeuvrability. Practical designs with a simple no fuss look, they cut a slim silhouette and are well-liked for their compact shape that makes them perfect for busy offices where space is tight. Padded for comfort, they’re typically upholstered in breathable fabric designed to withstand heavy usage, as seen in the Rome. Alternatively, modern mesh models like the Cologne (pictured below) further encourage the circulation of air, helping to keep you cool as you work. General Ergonomic Office Chairs Designed to create a relaxing and comfortable working environment, general office chairs encourage optimum concentration and productivity. A happy medium between operator and executive, they’re often favoured by those in management positions and prove brilliant all-rounders, ideal for meetings and interviews as well as desk work. At an affordable price, they provide all the features of operator models, plus some added extras. With denser padding and higher backrests, you’re able to sit comfortably for extended lengths of time, as seen in the Munster. What’s more, there are armrests for increased support, as well as a tilting mechanism in the seat that can be locked into place for an upright or reclined working position. Whilst some are upholstered in fabric, faux leather is proving increasingly popular due to the wealth of colours it facilitates. Executive Models With an exclusive luxury touch, executive office chairs will enhance the look of any workspace. Exuding importance and prestige when sat beside average operator models, they’re typically favoured by those in top executive positions. Whilst the most expensive type of office chair, undoubtedly you get what you pay for. As well as all the standard functions, from adjustable tilt to variable height, they also include a range of deluxe features to facilitate a truly ergonomic working experience. With generously cushioned seats, thicker layers of high-density foam and comfortably padded armrests, they promote a superbly sumptuous office space. Many are upholstered in faux leather, well known for its durable wipe clean surface, whilst an increasing number are covered in plush real leather for that premium aesthetic. Home Study & Professional Use Smaller in size than the average office chair, these chair-stool hybrids are more common than you might think. Designed to fit into more compact spaces, they’re great for a home study or at a homework desk in the corner of a child’s bedroom. With a cool contemporary styling, they’re often less formal and work-like in appearance, yet still include much of the functionality. The Rochelle is a trendy example with an encompassing backrest, and likewise the Skyline is popular for its retro style and unique shaped seat. This category also makes highly practical seating for non-office professions where mobility is key. From artists, beauticians and hair stylists to dentists, opticians and medics, 360 swivel allows optimum flexibility in order to reach equipment, documents or screens with ease. A wheeled base enables effortless movement around the room, whilst a gas lift mechanism allows variable height to find the ideal position to treat patients or customers.

Providing an authentic diner seating experience, the four tubular mirrored chrome legs and flared feet ensure optimum stability as well as striking visual impact. A circular footrest doubles as a bracing for the frame and is ergonomically placed for comfort. With an upholstered faux leather seat, colours are characteristically dynamic and eye-catching, namely vibrant red with contrasting white piping. Many designs include vertical panelling for that timeless style as well as added comfort. Reflecting the abundance of shiny metalwork on cars at the time, stool frames are always polished chrome, providing that iconic chic finish.

Coco Bar Stool Although the choice of colour is often the focal point when choosing bar furniture, there is no right or wrong answer as selection generally relies upon individual taste. Additionally, in an era where contrast is a popular way of making a decorative statement, one may wish to use stools of different or contrasting colours in their bar area in order to make a fashionable statement or accentuate the main features of the particular setting. One example of this is using red designs in a monochrome kitchen; it gives an eye-catching feature whilst highlighting the minimalist style of the decor. Crescent Bar Stool Orange For those looking for an injection of more classic style, black stools may well be the perfect choice as it never ages and is the most resistant to stains and marks and hence is consequently our most popular colour choice. Our designs give the option of either a plain black seat, as well as more unique or satin painted finish designs, as is found with our popular Charlotte Kitchen Stool Black. If you are hoping to give your desired location a contemporary look, a white or cream seat colour may be the most obvious choice. Available in a variety of materials such as ABS resin, faux leather or sumptuous real leather, there is sure to be a design to suit your needs. Brown and cream colours characterise each other perfectly, and can be considered as an innovative take on the more traditional black and white colour scheme. Therefore, within a cream setting, brown bar stools are sure to set off the room beautifully, and vice versa with a brown setting and cream stools.

Timeless pieces that will add subtle character, wooden bar stools are definitely a style to consider. Our wooden styles are offered in a number of organic finishes and colours that will suit your interiors and give a sense of uncompromised natural beauty. These include contemporary, light coloured wood such as oak, through to richer, walnut shades of seat that exude a traditional feel. Also, wooden stools often contain seat pads available in a range of colours, meaning it is effortless to find your perfect combination. For a modern yet retro feel, many turn to a simple, grey or silver colour that helps to present a futuristic image. Red is also a popular option for the more image conscious wishing to make an impact, and can be purchased in many deep or vivid shades. We also provide a number of pink designs to give a glamorous boost to your bar, whilst our expanding collection of purple stools give a subtle and similar effect. "More vivacious tones can be used alone, or mixed with other colours to add an extra bit of spirit to the decor. Orange, yellow and green are vibrant colours that will suit a playful looking bar area. Catching the eye, they also brighten any room with their funky tones and look superb in materials like ABS plastic. These colours are also prevalent in Acrylic, catching the light in a stunning way." Colourful Drift Bar Stools To make things easier for our customers, our photographs are portrayed as close to the actual colour of the stool as possible. However, there is always the possibility that differences can arise due to the Gamma setting on individual computers, which may alter the colour slightly.
