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.

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. In addition, brown is a versatile colour that can be placed in a number of differing coloured decors within your home to simply give a minimalist alternative.

"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."
