Alternatively, you may prefer to buy stools with detachable cushions that tie-on to the seat backs. This gives you the advantage of being able to change the covers for cleaning or if you fancy a change of look, and can be useful if your stools get lots of use.

How to decide what will fit best in your home

When deciding which type of stools to buy, remember to take accurate measurements of the space available, to ensure a comfortable fit. Bar stools usually come in two different heights, giving you your own choice of comfort.  Stools should allow adequate legroom, but be close enough to the counter top for convenience. As a rough guide, aim for a gap of around 9 or 10 inches between the seat and the counter. Think about the positioning of your bar stools. Leave enough space between each one for people to be able to move freely.
