Advantages of Choosing Narrow Bar Stools for Your Space

Let’s face it—when space is tight, every inch counts. That’s where narrow bar stools come in. They’re not just a style choice (though yes, they do look good). They’re also incredibly practical.

Save Your Space (and Your Sanity)

These narrow stools are ideal for small kitchens, cozy apartments, or anywhere elbow room is limited. You get the seating you need—without the squeeze.

Tuck Them In, Keep It Clean

Thanks to their slim profile, these stools slide right under your counter or island. That means less clutter, more legroom, and nothing blocking your kitchen traffic flow.

Open Floor, Open Feel

Bulky chairs can make a room feel crowded. Skinny bar stools give you that extra seat without swallowing up your floor space. More room to breathe, move, and dance around with your spatula (no judgment).

Selecting a Narrow Bar Stool

Space Considerations

If you’re working with limited space, opt for small counter stools without arms. They can save you 2-6 inches horizontally per stool. If space isn’t a constraint, stools with armrests add a touch of comfort.

Measurement Tips

Always measure based on the widest part of the stool. Avoid surprises by considering stools with flared legs at their broadest point. Unsure about a stool’s dimensions? Reach out to us.

Perfect Pairings

Consider pairing narrow stools with 30-inch round pub tables for those cozy corners by a window or in the kitchen. They’re an ideal choice for spaces that demand minimalist furniture.

Mix and Match for Style and Function

There’s no rule against mixing stools with and without backs. In fact, many of our narrow counter stools with backs come with matching backless versions.

Too many bar stools with backs can sometimes feel crowded. An idea? Line up three bar stools with backs and add a backless bar stool one for a refined look.

Plus, storing a couple of extra backless stools can come in handy for additional seating during special occasions.

If you’re on the taller side, note that some narrow counter stools may not offer enough seat depth.

We ensure the comfort of all our stools. Our narrow stools are designed to be wide enough for comfort, eliminating the dreaded “bicycle seat” feel.
