There are endless design options for barstools to choose from. If you’re looking to create a vibe of elegance and luxury in your bar or kitchen, there are several styles to complete the look. While many high end barstools are made of expensive materials, it’s also possible to achieve the luxury look for less. Many of today’s discount furniture retailers offer the same high end styles at an affordable price. Whether you’re planning on purchasing the real thing or looking for a budget-friendly alternative, there are plenty of styles available. Let’s look at some of today’s top trending barstool options.
Backless
Choose barstools without backs to give your bar or kitchen an effortless luxury aesthetic. Backless, saddle-style seats and rounded stools are made of almost any material. Many modern styles combine materials, such as a wooden seat with metal legs. Choose seats upholstered with leather and copper button accents to create a vintage look. An advantage of backless barstools over other styles is how they fit easily underneath countertops and tables.
Abstract
Impress your guests with the luxe look of abstract barstools. Their unique and often futuristic designs make them a conversation piece at any party. Abstract barstools usually have backs and seats with unconventional shapes. Their legs can be geometric with sharp edges or smooth and rounded. Some abstract stools have cushions made from textured fabrics or cloth with an interesting pattern or color scheme. The possibilities are endless, as these stools are heavily influenced by the quirky qualities of abstract artwork.
Wicker
Wicker is a timeless and versatile material and a top choice when it comes to luxury barstools. Barrel-style wicker stools wrap the legs in a coat of woven material, creating a curve-shaped seat. If you choose a stool design with a high back, add a neutral toned seat cushion to complete the look. Wicker barstools are perfect for homes with a coastal décor scheme. They’re also great for outdoor bar areas, as they’re durable and weather resistant.
Transparent
Another trending style for high end barstools is those made of transparent, or see-through, materials. These seats can be made of acrylic or heavy plastic and come in endless color options. Choose barstools with transparent chairs and legs for a funky, vintage atmosphere. These stools also come mixed with a variety of other materials, such as a plastic seat with polished metal legs. Transparent stools come backless or with a wide range of back heights. For a more personal touch, consider adding a seat cushion in a color that matches your home décor.
Wingback
Wingback chairs are a luxury furniture staple. These timeless classics in a bar height version are the perfect way to add a high end look to your bar. Choose rich-colored leather seats to bring warmth into the room. Velour or velvet upholstery brings a modern flare to the style while keeping the atmosphere classy. Pick wingback barstools with dark wooden legs for a timeless look or metal to bring in industrial elements.
