Stylish bar stools to complete modern home or office spaces

Bar stools for kitchen and dining areas

Bar stools and chairs add the final touch to a kitchen island or breakfast bar and create a cozy, relaxed atmosphere in dining areas, offering a relaxed place to enjoy breakfast or a meal. Bar stools and high stools can also give your kitchen or dining space a stylish contemporary look.

Our collection of Nordic and Scandinavian bar stools includes chairs and stools in various shapes, styles, and colors, and includes high-quality natural and industrial materials, such as lacquered oak and walnut or brushed and powder-coated steel. You’ll find luxurious designer bar chairs with comfortable seats and minimalist bar stools with sculptural lines and a modern, functional aesthetic.

Tall stools and bar chairs for office spaces

Beyond the kitchen, bar chairs and high stools are the ideal seating at a high work desk, standing desk or even a customer service counter. In Finnish Design Shop’s collection, you’ll also find a variety of bar stools, bar chairs and other counter-height stools, leather bar stools, stackable chairs, swivel bar stools and bar stools with armrests.

What’s the difference between bar stools and counter stools?

Many of our designer bar stools and chairs are available in two heights: counter height and bar height. In general, counter-height stools are slightly lower than bar stool chairs designed for kitchen islands or breakfast bars. If you need chairs or stools suited to standard-height tables, counters and desks, visit our selection of luxury counter-height stools.

Not sure what type is best for your table or counter, keep in mind that counter-height stools are 24–27 inches and bar-height stools are 28–33 inches in height.

If you prefer simplicity and minimalism, consider choosing bar stools that match the colors and materials used in your kitchen, dining, or work area. For an eclectic look, mix and match different bar stools and chairs to create your own unique spaces. Another way that you can add color to your interiors or enhance the comfort of your chairs—add accessories from our collections of seat cushions and home decorations.
