1.  How many people do you want to seat and how much space can you allocate for traffic flow?Â
This will depend on how wide your dining table or kitchen island is. Therefore, you will need to determine the best size and shape for your bar stools. Besides, having ample space between your bar stools allows you and your guests to sit comfortably without bumping elbows.
2.  How high do you want the bar stools to be?
Bar stools generally have higher seats than regular dining chairs. To determine the height of your stools, measure the height of your kitchen counter or island. Countertops are usually 36-39 inches high so you’ll need stools that are 24-27 inches tall. Meanwhile, islands are usually 40-42 inches high so look for stools that are 28-30 inches tall.
3.  Do you want foot rail on your bar stools?
If you've been to bars or restaurants, you will surely notice that some of their barstools have foot rail while some don't. This may seem like a small detail but it's worth considering whether or not this is necessary for your home bar chair. Because it can determine how comfortable you'll be sitting for a long time.
4.  What kind of style do you want to incorporate?
Style is personal and subjective. Depending on your style preference, Ruma offers a variety of bar stools for you to choose from. From metal bar stools to wooden bar stools and upholstered ones, you’re spoilt for choice. Another style point to consider is whether or not you want arms on your stools as it will require extra room to function.
5.  Do you want a stool with or without a back?
Like style, this depends on your preference because a backless bar stool can visually open up space if you have a small kitchen or dining area. Meanwhile, a bar stool with a back is great if you use them often and prefer the comfort and support of a back. You can also get a combination of bar stools with and without back to diversify your home furniture pieces.
6.  Do you have children or elderly family members?
If you have young children or elderly family members in the house, best to pick some bar stools that are made of metal as they’re heavier and sturdier than most bar stools. Avoid stools that swivel freely as your children might go round and round, which can lead to accidents. Opt for memory swivel stools as it brings you back to the centre.
