Stools

Looking for stools that are comfortable and suit your interior? In this collection, you'll find models for the kitchen, bar, dining area, or a compact workspace. Pay particular attention to height, material, and use. That way, you can more easily choose a stool that feels good and matches your table or countertop well.

What should you look for when choosing stools?

A good stool should not only fit the space, but also the height of the surface and the way you use it. If you use the stool every day at a kitchen island, comfort is especially important. If you're looking for a compact model to add to your space, size and appearance are often decisive.

Choose the right height

First measure the height of your table, bar, or countertop. A gap of around 25 to 30 cm between the seat and the underside of the surface is comfortable. That way, you sit relaxed and have enough legroom. With a fixed model, this is extra important. If you want more flexibility, choose a height-adjustable stool.

Think about a backrest and footrest

A model without a backrest has a light, airy look and can often be slid easily under a surface. A low backrest provides a little extra support without taking up much space. A high backrest is more comfortable if you plan to sit for longer. A footrest also makes a big difference, especially at higher seating positions.

Which material suits your space?

Wood creates a warm and welcoming look and pairs well with many types of tables. Metal looks more sleek and is often practical in use. Plastic is light and easy to clean. Choose a material that suits how intensively you use the stool and how easy you want it to be to maintain.

Which stool suits your interior?

Stools are easy to combine with other furniture. At a wooden dining table, soft colors and natural materials often work well. If you already have several seating areas in your home, also look at the shape and color of your chairs or dining chairs. That keeps the whole space balanced without everything needing to be exactly the same.

In a smaller space, a slim model without armrests is often useful. In an open kitchen, a stool can stand out a bit more, for example with a striking seat or contrasting base. If you use the stool next to a lower table or in a corner of the room, take a look at our side tables for a practical combination.

Buying guide: how to quickly find the right stool

• Measure the height of your surface and allow a 25 to 30 cm difference to the seat.
• Choose a backrest if you want to sit longer or like extra support.
• Look for a footrest on higher models for more comfort.
• Choose wood, metal, or plastic based on maintenance and appearance.
• Check how much space you have between the stools, especially at a kitchen island.

Practical tips for use and styling

Ideally, leave enough space between two stools so you can stand up and slide in comfortably. If you're using multiple models side by side, keep the seat height the same for a polished look. If you want to keep the space calm, combine them with furniture from our furniture collection in similar materials or colors. A stool next to a low seating area also works well in combination with coffee tables, for example as extra seating when you have guests.

For daily use, it's smart to choose a seat that you can clean easily. Fabric seats often feel softer, while wood and plastic are quicker to wipe down. Also look at the legs: caps or a good finish help keep your floor looking neat.

Frequently asked questions about stools

What seat height do I need?

That depends on the height of your table or countertop. Allow about 25 to 30 cm between the seat and the underside of the surface. Measure this carefully in advance.

Is a stool without a backrest comfortable enough?

For shorter sitting moments, often yes. For long dinners or daily use, a low or high backrest usually provides more comfort and support.

Which material is the most practical?

Wood and plastic are usually easy to maintain. Metal is sturdy and works well in a sleek interior. Choose what suits your use and the rest of your furniture best.

How much space should I leave between two stools?

A distance of about 15 to 20 cm between the seats is often comfortable. That way, you can sit comfortably and stand up easily.

Can I combine different stools?

Yes, as long as there is consistency in height, material, or color. That creates a playful look that still feels calm.
