Frying pancakes sizzle from the stove top as children scramble to their seats, tall bar stools transforming into the perfect jungle gym for climbing.
It doesn’t take long, though, until their attention is distracted by the tantalizing scent of fresh breakfast — maybe even chocolate chip pancakes! — and the family, warm from a cozy nights sleep, gathers to dine. Sleepy sunshine drifts through the open window, promising a bright day ahead.
At Peaceful Valley Furniture, we value the special moments that arise from the dining room during the sweet moments of early morning. Without furniture, though, a dining room would be empty of both people and little moments.
We already covered how to pick pick the perfect table and ideal chair. We shared a guide on the steps to deciding on your dream kitchen island…and we think it’s about time to talk about choosing the best bar stool to create a handcrafted and welcoming home.
Let’s Talk about Style
Everybody’s personal preference and decorating style is different but one aspect of bar stools are universal. They are a fun addition to any home. Besides, a kitchen island wouldn’t a comfortable place to rest without bar stools to sit on.
As with any furniture, we have a variety of styles available to chose from. Ranging from unique backs to backless stools, Peaceful Valley Furniture is glad to share the the beauty and durability of each bar stool with our customers.
Every part of our bar stools — from the legs to the backs and everything in between — are fashioned with utmost care from the talented hands of Amish craftsmen.
If you’re style is more modern, we’d recommend our 24″ Saddle Stool. Its wide, rectangle seat offers a comfortable place to relax, each part handcrafted by local Amish craftsmen. The stool’s straight lines makes for a stunning, contemporary silhouette — ideal for the modern dining room.
For a traditional, farmhouse dining room, we love our 24″ Stool, handcrafted out of solid Brown Maple wood. The rounded seat and legs offer a simple yet comfortable design. This stool will welcome every guest into your home with its subtle beauty and elegant grace.
While our bar stools typically come in 24”, we would be happy to have 30” high bar stools built to accommodate taller kitchen islands or dinners.
Eager to Help:
Besides bar stool backs, we have a few different leg styles available such as the traditional round leg or contemporary squares. Please keep in mind that most of the Amish shops that we work with are unable to completely customize the bar stools.
We do, however, offer a large selection of bar stools that complement your dinning room table and chairs as well as kitchen island.
Our salesmen are eager to help identify which of our many bar stools would look best in your home. We have found that most people prefer the way matching chair and bar stool legs or backs look together. The symmetry of matching features adds a balanced touch to the home’s decorating scheme.
Don’t Forget Comfort
We would be lying if we said a bar stool’s beauty is the only aspect that matters in choosing the perfect bar stool. Comfort — how well you can enjoy relaxing on your new bar stool — are crucial to your decision as well.
Comfort vs. Ease
It’s wonderful to slide off a bar stool without bumping into the stool’s back. There’s something to be said about the simple beauty of a backless bar stools. These bar stools are easy to store because they can simply be slipped under the edge of the kitchen island or hidden in a corner. Our Log Bar Stool offers an an unique twist on the normal backless bar stool, with stunning Aspen legs and a smooth pine seat.
Bar stool backs, however, provide much-needed support and rest for the weary. We offer a variety of unique bar stool backs such as our one-of-a-kind, Contemporary Gathering Chair, or the farmhouse-favorite, 24″ Wheat Back Swivel Bar Stool. These backs not only provide comfort but also another element of style to your kitchen or dining room.
