Here you need to approach with knowledge of the matter, or have a subtle design flair. It is necessary to clearly understand what role chairs actually play in the interior of the kitchen.

What you need to know when choosing chairs for the kitchen?
The main thing to consider when choosing kitchen chairs is the style of the interior of the room itself. For example, if the kitchen is made in country style, then plastic chairs of a bizarre shape will look ridiculous against its background, to put it mildly. Of course, you can experiment by combining different styles, but you need to have a rich experience in interior design so that the result of your experiments looks holistic and harmonious. If you still don’t have enough such experience, then it will be useful for you to find out which chairs are best combined with one or another style of kitchen interior.

Chairs made of natural materials
This category includes chairs made of wood and wicker. The main advantage of furniture made from natural materials is its versatility. This means that these chairs will fit into many different interior styles. The most harmonious wooden chairs, as well as wicker chairs, will look in kitchens that are made in the style of country, Provence and ethno. Of course, the combination of chairs made of natural materials with styles such as modern or high-tech will look embarrassing to the highest degree. Also in the treasury of the advantages of wooden chairs can be attributed to their ability to create a unique atmosphere of intimacy, warmth and comfort, which is especially appropriate in the kitchen.

High-tech chairs
Chairs made in this style may also contain individual elements made of natural materials, but this is extremely rare. Most often they are made of plastic or metal. High-tech chairs fit perfectly into the modern interior of the kitchen, as they look very ascetic and without too much pathos. They are ideally combined with kitchens in modern style, minimalism and, of course, hi-tech. The relative disadvantage of chairs of this style is their "coldness".But to some extent this is a hallmark of the hi-tech style itself.

If, among the huge variety of all kinds of styles, you are not what you like, or you just want to bring something original to ordinary interiors, then designer chairs are exactly what you need! Various variations of shapes and combinations of styles excite the imagination. Some of them are more works of art than just chairs. In the interior of the kitchen, designer chairs look quite extravagant and always attract the attention of people who find themselves in your kitchen for the first time.

Assorted chairs
An unusual approach to the design of the kitchen is the selection of assorted chairs. There are many options for combinations: different styles of chairs painted in the same color; one style of chairs - different colors, different colors - different styles, etc. The result of such a design can be very, very interesting. But it is important to understand that it is very difficult to combine chairs of different styles. It is best to use the services of a professional designer.

Stools: advantages and selection criteria
If you have a small kitchen and every centimeter counts, stools are a great solution. Of course, they are less comfortable than chairs, but in order to save space, stools are the best option.
As in the case of chairs, stools should be chosen taking into account the interior design of the kitchen. In addition, it is necessary to take into account how the table and stools are combined. All the details are important here: from the shape to the color scheme.

Bar chairs
Today, bar counters are a fashion trend, which are installed in kitchens in addition to the dining table, and in some cases even instead of it. Bar stools always rely on bar counters. Their main difference from stools and ordinary chairs is that they are much higher than the above-mentioned furniture. This is due to the height of the bar itself.
Bar stools in the interior look very stylish if they are chosen with taste. The same rule applies here as with chairs and stools: the design of the kitchen must match the style of the bar stools.

How to choose bar stools?
In addition to style and design, bar stools for the kitchen are distinguished by their design. That is what you need to look at first. For example, some bar stools have a back and armrests, while others do not. Some chairs have a height adjuster, while others are static. All these features are important not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also from a functional one. With daily use, all these seemingly insignificant details can cause very noticeable inconvenience. There is also another criterion that simply needs to be taken into account, namely the height of the bar stool.
The most common materials for bar stools include: wood, metal and plastic. Each of them has its own individual characteristics and is combined only with certain interior styles. Read more about this below.

Plastic bar stools
Plastic chairs in the interior of the kitchen look non-trivial and eccentric. They are more reliable and hardy, so they can last you much longer than similar chairs made from natural materials. Bar stools made entirely of plastic can be found infrequently, since plastic does not have high strength. Usually, only the seat and back (if any) of the bar stool are plastic, and all other elements are made of metal or wood (in rare cases).
As we have already found out, the style of the kitchen should match the style of the chairs. There are styles against which plastic bar stools in the interior of the kitchen look more than natural. In particular, these include such styles: loft, pop art, modern, hi-tech, minimalism, eco style, etc.

Metal bar stools
Bar stools made of metal are distinguished by their simplicity and durability. Just like with plastic stools, bar stools made entirely of metal are quite rare. As a rule, they go in combination with wood or plastic. Such furniture is very durable. With careful use, bar stools can serve you, without exaggeration, for decades. Styles in which it is recommended to use metal bar stools: minimalism, techno, loft, modern, hi-tech, etc.
