Reform your kitchen and switch to kitchen stools

Thinking of renovating your kitchen? In that case, surely you know that one of the most demanded changes today is to include in it an office with kitchen stools. This is basically a space for breakfast, snacks, and even lunch and dinner. Some people even use it to do homework with their children, or to carry out crafts with the family.

An office with kitchen stools, the trendiest choice

Living in the kitchen is really an ancient concept, dating back to when homes were kept warm only by the hearth fire, over which the pot was heated. Then came a period when the separation of kitchen, dining room and living room was practically ‘law’. Now, however, houses are becoming more diaphanous, and the walls of our homes and our customs are being torn down.

Thus, in recent years, the notion of ‘living in the kitchen’ has been revived with more strength than ever, but also with a more contemporary vision. So much so that some people even use the office for informal dinners with guests. In line with this casualness, the most current stylistic decision is to dress this room with kitchen stools, slimmer and lighter, and with more modern lines, than the usual chairs.

How to include an office in the kitchen?

There are many ways to incorporate an office in the kitchen, depending both on the use we want to give it and the space we have. However, with a little ingenuity, even a reduced number of meters will be valid to do so.

1. Small island with kitchen stools under it

In small kitchens with an island, for example, we could simply extend it a little with the help of a tabletop. And, to make sure that the circulation around it remains smooth, we just have to get kitchen stools that we can store underneath it.

Oxley Mini is the perfect choice for that. This understated Industrial style kitchen stool, with a tubular steel frame finished in black powder coat paint, is only 65 centimeters tall. Plus, its band-stitched leather upholstered seat adds personality to the space, as well as being durable and easy to clean.

Another idea? If you can’t expand at the ends, how about expanding across the width? By adding a complement to the island, you can create a small dining area.

In this case, it is also a good idea to have kitchen stools. Stefan Mini, 66 centimeters high, is an ideal choice thanks to its Contemporary style, with a tubular steel structure finished in powder paint and seat upholstered in brown leather-like textile. In addition, its rounded shapes are pure Bold trend!

2.Island with traditional and ‘chair’ type kitchen stools.

In search of another bet that works, we found the option of getting an island with enough space to store a few stools underneath and place more sophisticated stools next to them. This way, you will have no less than four seats, a perfect solution for families!

​

You could, for example, include the timeless shapes of Minindiana, the industrial style Tolix kitchen stool, made of steel with white, black, cream or simply varnished metal paint finish. In addition, it is stackable, so it is even possible to add several and leave them in a corner of the room to use it only when necessary.

This iconic design by Xavier Pauchard, originally intended for the hospitality industry (which assures us that it is a highly durable piece) can be found in both industrial and contemporary style homes and even in country houses with an updated rustic style: after all, metal is a material that has traditionally had a strong presence on farms and in outdoor work tools.

​

And how about combining it with some Jason kitchen stools? With light lines, its tubular steel structure finished in paint fits beautifully with the previous model. However, its Nordic-style natural rattan seat and backrest add unmistakable warmth and charisma.

​3.Large island with kitchen stools

If you have enough space, getting a large island that can accommodate even special guests is always a safe bet. In this case, all possibilities are open, and you can be inspired by your favorite style when choosing kitchen stools.

For a cozy taste, ideal in Japandi or Mediterranean interiors, we have the Dorianeta kitchen stool. It is made of solid oak, with an irresistible lattice back. And it is also completely suitable for the kitchen, as its seat is upholstered in water-repellent linen-effect fabric, so that, despite its delicate appearance, it prevents stains.

On the other hand, if distinguished environments are your thing, the Thabo Mini kitchen stool will make you dream. With a powder-coated tubular steel frame, leather seat and brass-plated backrest, this Mid Century style piece brings elegance to any interior.

And in case you’re into refined, yet a bit more casual decor, the Sussex kitchen stool is for you. With a tubular steel frame, black powder-coated finish and a Mid Century leather upholstered seat, this timeless piece is perpetually modern.

4. U-shaped kitchen to separate rooms, with kitchen stools.

One last interesting option is to take advantage of the separation between kitchen and dining room, or kitchen and living room, to install a small office. The space will serve you to cook, but when you finish, it will be perfect to taste the freshly made dishes!

​

In this case, a super useful option is the Anderson Industrial style kitchen stool, with a tubular steel structure with powder coated finish and wooden seat. Since it’s catering-ready, it’s sure to have a long life at home, but it also has another great advantage: it’s a fully customisable product. And not only in its colour (it is available in white, black and rust), but also in finishes and dimensions, so it will easily adapt to the height of your worktop.

The same goes for the Donovan kitchen stool, with its irresistible vintage charm. With a leather seat and several colors available, this piece also stands out for its durability and customization possibilities.

Kitchen stools, the best option for a trendy room

When embarking on a reform, especially when it comes to the kitchen, it is smart to take into account both functionality and aesthetic results. Betting on kitchen stools is not only pure trend: it also allows us multiple storage possibilities when incorporating an office in rooms with little space. At the same time, when we have plenty of space to spare, we can afford to choose those comfortable and slender chair stools that we have always looked for, which will add personality to the kitchen decor!
