Complement your countertop with these chic and stylish bar stools

From chic stools like David Lopez’s Nina iterations for Living Divani, avaliable from Studio Italia (pictured above), to a liberal use of luxurious stone with which to swathe the bench-top, there are many ways to create a counter environment that is both a chic place to enjoy a morning cuppa, and a convivial setting for communal gatherings.

Whatever material and palette forms your home space, there’s sure to be a stylish bar stool to suit from our selection of top designs.
