It often comes into play at the very end of the kitchen design as well, so it can be that final piece that really brings everything together.

We’ve got a variety of ideas listed below to show you the possibilities are endless for a great barstool!

Garber Bar Stool

In Kara Beckmann’s house, (aka @beckmannhouse), she found the perfect barstools to go with her elegant space. She’s styled the crisp white Garber bar stool, to give her kitchen a light and airy feel. Not only is it elegant with the sleek steel base but it’s got a comfortable cozy feel with the high back and soft cushions.

It’s the perfect combination to go with the modern feel of her cement floors and her darker colored island to contrast and really make them pop. Kara has beautifully managed to make a cool and modern space, uniquely feel cozy and welcoming as well.
