Aluminum, thanks to its reflective nature, fits in with any color palette already established in a room. It is neutral, but stylish and modern. Aluminum also has the advantage of being light weight, so moving aluminum bar stools is easy. Perfect for outdoor use, since it is a material that is resistant to rust.

There’s something quite cool about having a home-style bar in your apartment, house or man-cave, and usually will have no problem attracting thirsty guests when entertaining. A practical component to such a bar is the style of stools one chooses. For a more contemporary look, an upholstered bar stool with back will lend a sophisticated look to any bar. They can also be used in the kitchen as stools around a kitchen island.

Some stools have arms, especially when they have a back.

You simply can’t go wrong with black. It fits in with any other color, and any other decor. Leather is an ideal material for bar stools, since they are naturally easy to clean, but have more class than vinyl. Finally backs are an extra comfort feature for stools, and again, a bit classier than backless models.

All Weather Wicker Bar Stools
Although wicker is often made from natural materials, artificial materials such as resin can also be used. When dealing with all-weather furniture, resin is usually used, since it can get wet and dry without deteriorating, like natural materials do. A stylish and durable choice for a patio bar.

Outdoor Bamboo Bar Stools
If you have a tiki style bar on your deck or patio, then a great touch would be bamboo bar stools. Bamboo has a fine grain that helps it last even when exposed to weather. Still, you may want to look for bamboo that has been especially treated to be weather resistant.
