12 BEST MODERN FARMHOUSE BAR STOOLS

3 Elements

When scrolling through pinterest for kitchen inspirations, 3 things immediately catch my eye: 

1.   bar stools
2.   light pendants
3.   color of the  kitchen cabinets   

These are the 3 elements that seem to move the eye around, and give the most interest to a plain kitchen canvas. 

Since most of my kitchen inspirations have a little farmhouse style in them, I knew finding the 12 Best Modern Farmhouse Stools wouldn’t be a problem. 

It’s just that I didn’t know if I could edit all of  these bad boys into a cliff notes version post (yep- I said cliff notes…remember those)? 

So, I will try to do my best and scale it down the best I can…which means….grab a drink & some snacks.  You’ll be here for awhile!!

12 BEST MODERN FARMHOUSE BAR STOOLS

FIRST THINGS FIRST:

Here are some guidelines to help you with measurements and spacing when purchasing bar (and counter) stools.  The main thing to look at is your counter height:

counter height (35″ – 37″) = counter stool

bar height (41″-43″) = bar stool

extra tall bar height (44″-47″) = extra tall bar stool

So, don’t forget to measure!  

 

 

Let’s get to the good stuff – the styles!!!

It’s amazing how one bar stool style can look so different depending on how it is made:  color, fabric, wood/metal, and shape. 

Have a Great Weekend!!
