Not Just for Sofas

Upholstered bar stools can add an attractive pop of color to your home or your outdoor space. However, when it comes to upholstered counter stools, there are a few things that you will need to keep in mind.

The type of material used to cover the stools should be an important factor in your decision to purchase as the wrong type of material can become badly stained and damaged despite your best efforts to the contrary.

First, you need to think about where you are going to be using them

• Will you be using them indoors?
• Will you be using them outside?
• Will you be using them in the kitchen?
• Will they be exposed to sticky children and shedding pets?
• Will they be used primarily for decorating or will they get heavy usage?

If you plan on using your upholstered barstools outside then you will need to make sure that both the materials of the barstools and the padded seat are waterproof and won't be damaged by what nature throw at them. To be super careful, you should just plan on keeping ones in this style inside, so if you take them to the patio, bring them back inside to be safe.

Kitchen options should be designed using fabric that can be easily wiped down in case there are spills of breakfast, wine, or even flour when you are baking. They should still also be very comfortable so that you have somewhere comfortable to settle down for a few minutes when you are cooking up a storm in the kitchen. You'll sometimes find stain treated / teflon covered fabrics, which makes a great choice in high traffic area's

Upholstered bar stools that will be used primarily as an attractive decoration in your home can be designed using more delicate fabrics because they are unlikely to be exposed to too much in the way of stains, dirt, and general grime. But those that you expect will get heavy use should perhaps use vinyl upholstery or even leather. These more rugged options can last a lot longer and also be a lot easier to clean up if there are accidental spills.

There are many fabric and material options in this section, and we invite you to pick out a neutral fabric that will fit n neatly with your current decor, or make a bold statement with pieces that have a pop of color in your otherwise conservative living room.
