Aside from being a great space saver, tucking away under bars and kitchen islands, bar stools and kitchen island stools are also a great way of adding texture to a space. From plush, sophisticated velvet seats to sculptural, mid-century wooden designs or industrial-style steel stools, they can be the finishing touch to a defined interior. Often the preferred place to perch for coffee or breakfast at the kitchen island – or while someone else slaves over the stove (if you're lucky). Add a designer touch to your breakfast – or actual – bar with these six favourites.
