Metal and Wood Bar Stools

Integrating Metal & Wood Bar Stools into Your Decor

Blending metal and wood bar stools seamlessly into your interior decor can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space. Here’s how you can perfectly style and customize these stools:

Color Coordination

For a cohesive look, align the wood stain of the stool with primary wood elements in the room, like cabinetry.

Complement the stool’s metal frame with other metallic elements, such as cabinet hardware, light fixtures, or appliances.

If you’re placing stools around a kitchen island, consider aligning the metal hue with countertop shades. Natural stone finishes, like granite, often harmonize well with various steel shades.

Fitting into Mixed Material Spaces

These dual-material bar stools naturally fit into spaces that blend metal and wood elements.

Whether your cabinetry is wooden or your room features metal accents like drawer handles and light fixtures, these stools can perfectly bridge the aesthetic gap. They also complement wooden bars, introducing a contrasting metallic element for a balanced, two-toned effect.

Customizing Your Stool

With brands like Amisco and Trica, you can personalize your stool’s fabric, metal tones, and even wood stains.

Remember, it’s not always about matching; often, contrasting or complementary choices can add depth and interest.

These stools are available in styles ranging from Traditional and French Country to Modern, with options for armrests or going armless.

DIY Staining

If you’re aiming for an exact wood match and can’t find it, consider purchasing unfinished stools.

Bring a wood sample from your home (like a cabinet door) to a paint store. They can create a stain that’s a perfect match. However, always test the stain on a small area, as different woods absorb stain differently.

For a versatile option, consider a classic black wood stain that pairs well with black appliances and most decors.

Wood vs. Padded Seats

Wooden seats offer ease of cleaning—simply wipe them down. Many find them as comfortable as padded options.

However, if you lean towards padded seats, cleaning them is a breeze. Mild soapy water usually does the trick. Plus, you can easily apply Scotchgard™ to our fabrics for added protection.
