Kitchen Seating Options: Ideas for Chairs and Stools

In the center of the kitchen is a waterfall island with classic marble countertop, oversized brass geometric pendants and blue faux leather stools with brass frames. The tile backsplash behind the oven is a geometric marble with metallic inlay, which creates a glamorous focal point.

A dramatic, pearl-finish backsplash and contemporary stools modernize this renovated traditional kitchen for fashion-forward homeowners, packing it with charm and interest. Designer Marci Barnes expanded the original kitchen footprint and opened up the room to the dining area and attached sunroom to further update the space.

To brighten the look of the cinammon-colored cabinets, the kitchen gets a backsplash of glossy white tile, golden barstools and airy, glass pendants. The range hood, in both gold and silver, ties the varied colors together.

The breezy, all-white kitchen opens onto an adjacent dining area, handy for entertaining without making the chef feel closed off. A pot filler is installed over the stove.
