Points To Remember When Picking A Vintage Bar Stool

The best part about having a bar stool in your home is that you can use it in almost every other part of the house with equal grace and utility. Therefore, many people choose designs for their bar stools which are contemporary in looks and neutral in colors. This way, the same stool can easily be fitted with many other parts of the house as well. However, if you are planning on giving a special vintage look to your bar counter, then it is important that you buy a vintage bar stool to complete the look of that space. 

When buying a bar stool with a vintage look, it is important that the following three factors are kept in mind:

Color – It is important to choose colors for not just the bar stool, but for the entire bar counter carefully and pick colors which help in giving a rustic look to your bar counter. Depending on the era you wish to recreate, whether you want the 50s look or go for the 70s and 80s look, the color scheme for the bar along with the stools should be chosen.

Backless Stools – It is a good idea to pick stools without a backrest. This will help you in not just saving your costs, but you will also not have to hunt for an appropriate designing and style of the back of the stool which will fit in well with the vintage times. Finding stools with backs which have olden designs and styles can be extremely difficult and a compromise on this account can render your entire effort of creating a vintage bar counter futile.

Metal Bar – Stools made of basic metal features will give the closest resemblance to vintage bar stools. Along with using the basic features, also avoid the use of colors and designs on the metal itself. They may take away the rustic look of the stool. For those who like comfort, they can opt for stools which have a metal frame, but leather or cushion seating. This way you will be able to retain the vintage design of the stool and yet provide for a comfortable seating option.
