We then look at coordinating stools with your kitchen finish and hardware, pairing them with pendant lights above an island, and linking them to dining chairs in open plan rooms. You will find a clear comparison of faux leather, genuine leather, fabric, wood and metal seats, along with advice on backrests, footrests and swivel or gas lift mechanisms. We also explain how much space to allow per stool and how many fit along islands of common lengths, finishing with simple touches that bring the whole arrangement together....
