Stools at the dinner table?


When I was little I would always choose my Grandmas fluffy green boudoir stool to sit on at family Christmas dinners. We had to use the stool because of the lack of "proper" seating. And I loved it, it felt so different and special.


And while I've seen many options for
dinner table seating, stools are an option I
have never really considered for frequent use.
No back support? Bad idea!


But this eclectic arrangement has totally opened my mind to stools!


They are definitely a great space saver, and with the choices between vintage and new, and the ease of changing and rearranging, little stools seem to be such an easy option!

And besides, if you do need a proper chair for some reason, stools are good for use all over the house.
Just like in this beautiful bathroom from Shannon Fricke


Just beautiful isn't it? So feminine and vintage but modern at the same time.

Or this minimalist study area where the wooden stool provides simple seating that adds that extra bit of warmth to an otherwise white room.



I think I sense my next new favourite seating option.

What do you think?
