My wife has found some white bar stools she loves. Does white work? I'm not sure they will go with the oyster coloured bench and sublime teak. The lights above the island bench are glass pendants. Do you think they will work? The rear cupboards in the kitchen are an off-white. Floor will be champagne bamboo. I was thinking something a bit more wooden and rustic. Or perhaps wood with charcoal seats? We are going for a modern organic sort of look... Thank you so much in advance.

Re: What colour bar stools for new kitchen? 3Apr 21, 2014 6:26 pm Hi your glass lights sound nice but hard to tell without photos. With regards to the bar stool I dont think white is the right colour if you have off white cupboards. I like your suggestions of wood with charchol seats or stainless steel industrial look. Lots of design ideas on www mattblatt.com.au website. Clear acrylic or transparent glass bar stools would also look great. Look at http://www.lifeinteriors.com and select online shop then bar stools they also have some lovely stools which would suit. Can you please share the brand and colour of your walls eg full, half or quarter strength.

Re: What colour bar stools for new kitchen? 7Apr 30, 2014 11:15 pm Have you thought about aluminium navy stools. They were originally made for the navy and are now an iconic comfortable stool. Aluminium suits most styles. No I wouldn't get white. Maybe a bit boring? Re: What colour bar stools for new kitchen? 8Feb 25, 2015 7:43 pm Colour your call but get right height bar stools. 65cm seat height for a 90cm bench height is about right, You need room for legs once you sit on stool.
