Here at Affordable, we love creating highly functional and accessible kitchens for our customers. One function all effecient kitchens must have is an eat-in area or breakfast bar. Of course, every great breakfast bar or island needs a great barstool. We did a little bit of shopping and found some stylish barstools and/or counter stools that we’d be happy to design a kitchen around. As an added bonus, most of these bad boys are currently on sale or already very reasonably priced. Oh, how we love a good bargain!

Industrial-meets-country with this versatile barstool. Perfect for a serene, all-white kitchen or a rustic, farmhouse-inspired space.
World Market, $119.99

Available in five colors, this stool from Target would fit perfectly in a variety of kitchens. From modern to country to traditional, this may just be our favorite (the price certainly doesn’t hurt!).

Available in six different colors, the Collins Bar Stool features a white leather seat for a contemporary and glamorous touch. We’ve already begun designing the modern kitchen that these would be right at home in…
Room & Board, $219

So hip. This sustainable stool is adjustable so you could place it at counter-height or a bar.
CB2, $135 (on sale)

Industrial and vintage-inspired, this adjustable stool is available in two finishes. We’d love to see this stool in a more traditional kitchen for an eclectic and surprising touch.

Or, you could seize the DIY spirit that we are all about here at Affordable and seek out old stools in need of a little TLC. A coat of paint and a bit of fabric was all these forlorn stools needed to become chic kitchen seating. Click here for the whole DIY.
