Sure, bar stools were designed to be used primarily in a 'bar' atmosphere but now, with more and more people using them in their homes, they are being used in the breakfast area. Breakfast bar stools, as they are christened, are simply a bar stool that is designed to fit a specific kitchen set-up. Breakfast bar stools are taller, skinner and built (usually) to swivel around. They are made to fit up next to a kitchen counter or a home bar.
Breakfast bar stools are great because they come in a variety of styles / sizes to fit your needs. Now, there are some people that go out and custom build their own bar stools to fit exact height to the inch and diameter, never mind color selection. You do not have to take it to this extreme to get a good breakfast bar stool- you just need to look around. For instance, you may have a brown based color in your kitchen, so look for a similar brown based bar stool. Or maybe you will want to go for a primary color that will balance your kitchen and bar stool combination.
Breakfast bar stools are amazing for families because of their adaptability. Stools are built high, so if you have children you can get them up to the bar height without stacking a few chairs on top of one another. Since kitchen counter tops / home bars offer a lot of space, it will be space friendly to use this room for breakfasts. Bar stools are among the only chairs that can adapt to fit the proper height. especially if they have the gas lift option which is a very common feature of today's high quality bar stools.
Whatever your need for a breakfast bar stool is, you can find it with a little luck, determination and goal. Know what your needs are before you start shopping around!
