Vanity stools, Counter stools, bar stools…which one do I need?

Stools are a great small way to change and upgrade the look of your room.  These seats can go a long ways toward furthering the design details of the room – they are an opportunity for a splash of color in a monochromatic sea of cabinetry, or a place to add some softness and texture with a fabric and upholstery details.  There are many choices – fabric, leather or wicker, wood or metal, swivel or not, legs or pedestal, casters or not, backs or not and if so how tall…but by far the most important thing to get right for functionality is the seat height.  Too low and your chin will be resting on the counter and too high and your legs will be wedged uncomfortably beneath it!
