Steel Swivel Bar Stools

Among metal bar stools, stainless steel swivel bar stools are perhaps the most upscale models available. Stainless steel can be polished in a number of shiny or brushed finishes, some specially designed for outdoor use. While you may think of steel furniture as having an overtly modern design, steel bar stools in simple lines with brushed finishes are unobtrusively beautiful in any setting from traditional to futuristic – steel swivel bar stools are at home in almost any decor environment.

For kitchen counter dining spaces, 24-inch bar stools are usually the proper height for comfortable seating. For traditional bar settings, 30-inch bar stools are the right height. Typical bars are 42 inches tall, and the 30-inch bar stools provide enough height and legroom in these settings.

Simple swivel bar stools with a plain fabric, vinyl, or leather padded seat atop three or four curved steel legs are available in numerous finishes, including antique brass, titanium, and black coral, and retail for under $150. Stainless steel bar stools with 360-degree swivel and backs can also be had at fairly low prices.

For a slightly more upscale design, the croissant style swivel bar stool, with the frame of the curved back and arms that are all of one piece, is a beautiful, elegant design. The back features padding, as does the seat. This steel swivel bar stool gets its name from the crescent shape across the back that seamlessly marries the curved steel back with the arms. Countless combinations of metal finish and fabric or leather cushioning make this design flexible enough to go with any color scheme or type of decor. For example, a croissant steel swivel bar stool in a copper or sienna finish with black or cocoa colored padding would be right at home in a room featuring more traditional wood furnishings because of its subdued tones.

If you are going for a more retro or vintage look, then the swivel soda counter bar stools in chrome finish like the ones in 1950s soda shops are perfect. These are metal bar stools that will inspire delight with their funky, yet unobtrusive style. But if you are going for an ultra high-class look, whether indoors or outdoors, stainless steel bar stools and accessories cannot be beat.

Steel swivel bar stools make a stunning statement when done in simple, curved lines paired with bright colored cushions. Designs for wealthy playground cities like Miami featuring brushed steel with tropical bright accents tie in beautifully with the sunshine, palm trees, and the vintage Art Deco look the area is famous for.

It would be difficult to go wrong in choosing steel swivel bar stools, whether for your home or business. The designs cover such a wide range in terms of finish, detail, and accent colors, these metal bar stools can be adapted to any decor. In general, the simpler designs that use less steel are inexpensive, while more elaborate or heavy gauge designs cost more.

About the only look you cannot achieve with steel swivel bar stools is a very rustic or primitive look. However, you can have steel swivel bar stools with dark, matte finishes and rustic accent colors that will blend in nicely with other rustic furnishings. Steel swivel bar stools are masters of disguise. They can be the shiny, show-off’y tropical outdoor furniture of hot spots like Miami, or they can be the quietly functional accents in a traditional decor setting.
