Kitchen island stool/chair suggestions?

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Does anyone have recommendations for a stool/chair for my kitchen island? I’m not sure what would fit the style/colors best. Will probably get 3 if they fit.

The table/chairs you see in the first picture are close to black with white/creme leather chairs. Cabinets are Cherry, white Island base.

Should I go with something simple - cherry wood chairs of some kind? Or something contrasting like metal? Something colorful? Any suggestions/pictures would be appreciated.

I have no idea since you do not share any info about your style or pics of the surrounding area.

Your selection should relate to your dining chair selection, Doesn't have to match in color but in style.

Any suggestions for Island stools?

The Shaker stools I had made for my kitchen may be something that suits yours. They're lightweight and clean-lined but extremely sturdy and comfortable. Mine are maple with walnut stain, but I think they'd be nice in cherry in your kitchen. You could get the taped seat done in shades to match your banquette upholstery. While mine are the classic check, there are other weave options. We have 4 w/ backs @ the island and 2 backless stools for extra seating. I will try to post my first pictures here to show you.

It doesn’t look like you have a whole lot of space or depth so I’d look for much smaller and narrower stools, and a color that blends in better with your cabinets, instead of standing out so much like the black. Something like this shape and color scheme would be my choice. There’s tons of them out there, you can find a color that you like.

Jared, no. sorry to say I've had that pic saved for awhile and cannot remember the source. I've looked around for them but cannot find them. I know they are Walnut, so try starting w/ 'walnut island chairs' and see what you get.

I don't like the barber type of stool w/your kitchen. those are too modern w/the chrome for your style.

I think chairs should definitely be tied with the cabinetry, so I would definitely go with cherry.
