Discover Here How To Choose A Bar Stool For Your Kitchen

August 6, 2020

Bar Stool – A perfectly designed set of bar stool is a great way to compliment a dining room or kitchen in mid-century modern, transitional or glamour style. Today, Best Design Books decided to show you how to choose a bar stool for your kitchen. Take a look: One of the most important decisions for your home bar or kitchen island is how to choose the right bar stool height. There is a key distinction to be made between bar stools v counter stools; a counter stool is usually around 24 inches (or around 61 centimetres), meanwhile, a bar stool is typically 30 inches (or around 76 centimetres). There is, of course, some variation here and counter stools can vary up to 29 inches (74 centimetres) with bar stools also reaching up to 36 inches (91 centimetres). CHOOSE YOUR FABRIC LEATHER TEXTILE If you will use your stools where food is served, consider a low-maintenance material, such as leather, wood or metal. CHOOSE YOUR STYLE INDUSTRIAL CLASSIC Decide how many stools you can fit. It’s important to provide enough space between stools for people to eat, drink, and socialize without bumping elbows.

Luxury Minimal Design: TOP Trends 2020

September 13, 2019

Luxury Minimal Design – Luxury Minimal Design is everywhere! It’s the go-to choice for staging interior architecture concepts, it’s a versatile backdrop for furniture ads, and magazines rightfully feature the residents of these meticulous spaces whenever an innovative example pops up. NATURAL WOODS Natural wood is back and is a key trend for 2020! This trend was huge in the ’80s and ’90s and it’s come back into style again. But the key to embracing it without letting your home feel like it’s past it’s prime is balancing the rich color of wood with modern influences and bold and colorful furnishings that won’t get lost against the brown. Unlike what you might have assumed, wood doesn’t have to be dark and traditional. Not only does light wood give this material a modern spin, but it’s bright and happy, too.
