A stool is a quietly versatile thing. It pulls up to a kitchen island, lines a breakfast bar, tucks under a vanity, or stands in as occasional seating and a footrest. This collection runs from counter and bar stools in every height to soft footstools, with and without backs, in wood, metal, leather, and woven finishes for the kitchen, the bar, and beyond. Browse the stools below, then read our guide to seat heights and choosing the right stool for your counter.

How to Choose a Stool
Leave about 25cm to 30cm between the seat and the underside of the counter. Counter stools, with a seat around 60cm to 65cm, suit a standard kitchen counter, while bar stools, around 75cm to 80cm, suit a raised bar or high island.
A backless stool tucks fully away and keeps sightlines clean, while a stool with a back supports a longer sit at a breakfast bar. Swivel designs add ease where people come and go.
Allow around 60cm of width per stool so people are not crowded, and check that backless stools can tuck right under when not in use.
Wipe-clean leather and metal suit a busy kitchen, upholstered seats add comfort at a bar, and woven and wood bring warmth. For a footstool, soft upholstery is what counts.
Heights and Types
Seats around 60cm to 65cm high, sized for a standard kitchen counter or island.
Taller seats around 75cm to 80cm, for a raised bar or a high island.
Designs that support a longer sit and turn easily, ideal where people gather and move.
Soft, upholstered stools that serve as a footrest, occasional seat, or a place to perch.
Which Stool for Your Counter?
Simple, and Hard to Get Right
A stool looks simple, but getting the height, balance, and comfort right is an art. Bonaldo and Talenti lead here, with sculptural counter and bar stools that hold their own at an island, indoors or out. CPRN and Meridiani add upholstered designs with a more refined, glamorous edge, while Myface contributes relaxed, contemporary pieces. From a run of stools along a kitchen island to a single soft footstool by a chair, the collection covers the range. Melaaura can also arrange bespoke heights and coverings to suit a particular counter.

Along the Island

At the Bar

Email a designerMatch the stool to the counter. For a standard kitchen counter, choose a counter stool with a seat around 60cm to 65cm high. For a raised bar or high island, choose a bar stool around 75cm to 80cm. Leave 25cm to 30cm between the seat and the underside of the counter.
The difference is height. Counter stools are shorter, for standard kitchen counters, while bar stools are taller, for a raised bar or high island. Measure your counter from the floor before choosing, since the two are not interchangeable.
It depends on use. Backless stools tuck fully away and keep a kitchen looking clean, while stools with backs support a longer, more comfortable sit at a breakfast bar. Swivel designs add ease where people come and go.
Allow around 60cm of width per stool so people have elbow room. Measure the usable length of the counter, leaving space at the ends, and remember that backless stools can sit a little closer.
A footstool serves as a footrest in front of a lounge chair, as occasional extra seating, or as a soft place to perch. Upholstered designs double as a low ottoman and add comfort to a reading corner.
Many designs can be specified in different heights or coverings, which is ideal for matching a particular counter or scheme. Get in touch and we will help you choose the right stool.
