Gallery Direct Eton Bar Stool Meteor Set of 2 | Shackletons

Choosing the right furniture for a small home can come with its challenges, especially if you want compact items that still offer comfort and style. At Shackletons, our bar stools provide small and modest seating that complements numerous interiors without overwhelming them. Whether you have a compact kitchen, an open-plan living area, or simply want to create a sociable breakfast spot, we’re confident that our bar stools can be a valuable addition to your home. Let’s take a closer look at some of our top picks.

Why Our Bar Stools Are a Great Fit for Small Homes

Our bar stools are ideal for small homes due to their ability to provide flexible, space-saving seating. Their vertical designs allow them to tuck neatly under counters or tables, leaving rooms more open and less cluttered. They are also quite versatile, both in function and style. You can use our bar stools as breakfast chairs or extra seats for guests. Also, with a number of different styles to choose from, you’re very likely to find one that works wonderfully with your décor.

Another thing to consider is their build quality. At Shackletons, our bar stools are built to last, being able to withstand daily use without compromising on strength and comfort. Their thoughtful construction extends beyond comfort and sturdiness as well, with their compact profiles also making them relatively easy to clean around, which can help keep smaller homes looking tidier.

Our Top Picks

  1. Gallery Direct Natural Oppo Stool

The Gallery Direct Natural Oppo Stool is an excellent example of minimalist design. Its slender legs, curved seat, and round shapes help create an elegant profile that sits modestly in a room without taking up too much space. The neutral grey fabric adds an element of warmth which helps it pair exceptionally well with Scandinavian, modern, and neutral home décor. With height also taken into consideration, this stool is great for tucking under the counter when not in use. Plus, its sturdy construction helps it withstand daily use with relative ease.

  1. Baker Brown Dalton Bar Chair

For those who want a more retro style, the Baker Brown Dalton Bar Chair is an ideal pick. Its gently curved back provides great back support, whilst its deep brown finish offers sophistication and lots of warmth. This deep tone allows the stool to look beautiful when placed next to wooden worktops and classic kitchen cabinets, and its diamond-stitch leather-effect upholstery makes it suited towards more traditional interiors. Despite its appearance, the Baker Dalton Bar Chair still has a few small modern design elements. Its powder-coated aluminium legs help provide additional strength, and its swivel base allows you to turn 90 degrees either side, meaning you can easily pivot out from under counters.

  1. Baker Jasmine Black Bouclé Bar Chair

The Baker Jasmine Black Boulcé Bar Chair is another great choice that you can find at Shackletons. The textured upholstery gives it a modern edge and can bring a nice hint of softness to your kitchen or dining area. This stool also has a slightly rounded seat that offers a lot of comfort and support, making it suitable for long periods of use. In addition to this, its slim, black metal legs help it blend in with monochrome schemes or provide a striking contrast against lighter worktops, giving it great design potential.

  1. Gallery Direct White Rattan Café Stool

Why not bring a sense of lightness and texture to your small home with the Gallery Direct White Rattan Café Stool? The open-weave design and soft white finish create a unique, informal feel that can allow this stool to thrive in coastal, country, or relaxed boho interiors. Its low-profile silhouette helps small rooms feel bigger and brighter, and despite looking delicate, the frame is deceptively robust. We think this product really does offer a refreshing change from other bar stool styles, even going as far as to bring holiday vibes to your home.

  1. Gallery Direct Dark Grey Velvet Flanagan Stool

For a more dramatic statement, the Gallery Direct Dark Grey Velvet Flanagan Stool stands out with its refined lines and chic upholstery. The slim black legs give it a modern twist, whilst the deep grey velvet can bring a dramatic sense of luxury to your kitchen or dining room. This stool works brilliantly in homes that favour a contemporary or more luxurious look and feel, adding contrast to lighter surfaces or complementing deeper tones of surrounding décor. Despite its sophisticated appearance, the design is still compact and practical, making it a good fit for rooms where you want maximum impact without sacrificing space. The velvet finish is also surprisingly resilient and easy to maintain, making it suitable for busy homes.

Finding the right furniture for a small home doesn’t have to be difficult.
