Barstools for a Casual Functional Lifestyle

There is a saying that your eyes are the windows to your soul. It might also be said that your home is the window to your soul. Your choices of the colours and textures in your home and your accessories and furniture send messages about your style, priorities and values. A functional piece of furniture that can represent your style, priorities, and values is the barstool.

The barstool has been around since at least the time of the first pubs and bars in the middle ages, and probably longer. Barstools are designed to take up a little bit of space and to lift someone's seating height to be able to lay their forearms on the bar while they are having a beer or cocktail. Many times, there is a railing to put your feet on so they don't dangle aimlessly and go to sleep.

Some of the bar stools available today have arms, they swivel, the height can be manually adjusted, and there are barstools that have gas cylinders that make adjusting the height easier and more exciting.

Massive range of stools for any style kitchen

It is easier today than ever before to find barstools that really match your personal style and values. If your style leans toward the traditional look, you can find barstools made of all sorts and qualities of wood or a combination of wood and upholstery. At the other end of the spectrum from traditional are barstools made of various metals, plastics and vinyl's that have an atomic, retro or Jetson's futuristic look. There are barstools that fit everywhere in between the traditional and futuristic styles, too.

Barstools have become more versatile in this day and age and are no longer relegated to only sitting in front of a fully stocked bar, holding you while you drink your cocktails. Barstools are tremendously popular in kitchens. You will find barstools sitting around an island in the middle of a kitchen or around an eating bar that serves as a divider between the kitchen and a family room or a great room.

The raising popularity of bar stools

Barstools have come into their own in the past 20 years. Most families used to sit around the dining room table to eat their meals. With the idea of the kitchen island and the open living design of a great room or an eating bar room divider, the dining room table is having competition for use. As lifestyles have become more hectic, sitting down at a dining room table has become saved for special occasions. Meals are eaten at the kitchen bar and families catch up with one another sitting a little taller than they used to sit back in the 50s.

If you want to add a functional, casual eating style and feel to your home, don't forget to think about barstools. They are versatile and there plenty of different styles to choose from.
