What Size Bar Stool for Kitchen Island?

Choosing the right size bar stool for a kitchen island means looking at four dimensions, not one. This guide starts with seat height, giving 63cm to 68cm for a standard 90cm UK worktop and 75cm to 80cm for a raised bar, and explains the clearance rule and the measuring detail that causes most mistakes. It then covers seat width and depth, how round and square seats space differently in a row, and why base footprint often decides your spacing rather than the seat above it. There is guidance on overall height where stools have backrests, on matching visual weight to the scale of the island, and on choosing seat tones that suit pale or dark worktops. It finishes with working out how many stools fit and how the seating reads within an open plan living space....
