The popularity of kitchen-dining areas with breakfast bars and kitchen islands is increasing, with bar stools and dining chairs following suit. Part of the appeal is having the ability to sit and socialise in the kitchen whilst food is being prepared, with family and friends coming together in the heart of the home.
With kitchens being the social hub for many families, choosing the right seating for your home and lifestyle is essential. Finding something comfortable that will look good and withstand the test of time isn’t always an easy task, so here are our top picks to help you choose the right luxury bar stools and complementing dining chairs for your home.

Why should my dining chairs match my bar stools?
Coordinated seating creates a classic appeal in open kitchen-dining areas and will elevate any kitchen-dining space, by bringing harmony and balance to your interior.
When chairs and stools are arranged within an open plan area, or situated in your line of sight, such as dining chairs visible from the kitchen and vice versa, interior designers most frequently suggest matching sets of furniture. As well as being perfect for open-concept living areas, this idea also works wonderfully in closed and semi-closed living and dining spaces.
In addition, there are various ways to create a seamless dining space without your furniture looking too similar. For example, choosing the same design for chairs and bar stools but with different (yet complementary) upholstery is a good way to introduce a pop of colour to your space, or to define the separate dining zones.
You could also try arranging different designs together, which feature the same upholstery or material for both chairs and bar stools to maintain a seamless aesthetic.
