Bar stools have become a staple of the home decor industry. Over the years, we have become accustomed to casual dining and bar stools have been essential in creating this relaxed diner atmosphere in the home. In fact, some bar areas have even migrated to non-traditional rooms. They can feature in a kitchen, dining room, living room, conservatory, and even some outdoor cabins. We would also go as far as saying that a sleek, contemporary bar area gets more use than a formal dining area in some cases. So, if you want to freshen up the bar area you currently have with new stools or want to create one for the first time, now is the time. We, EZ Living Furniture, have put together a list of bar and counter stools that will help you to be on-trend for 2023.
No. 1 - Athy Velvet Bar Stools
Brand new to the EZ Living Furniture family is the Athy Bar Stools. They are sure to be a hit next season with their luxurious velvet upholstery and traditional wooden legs. While 2022’s stool design focused primarily on wood, which still is relevant for 2023 by the way, it seems that for 2023, it’s the supportive back that is the most prominent feature to look out for. That’s right, we’re going back to backs! The Athy stool is available in mustard, vintage green, and light grey velvet as well as tan-coloured leather.
No. 2 Pero Bar Stools
We know, we know, our Pero Bar Stools featured in our Bar Stool Trends For 2022 blog too, but there’s a reason for this so hear us out. The last number of months has seen a relatively-new interior design trend grow in popularity and if you’ve been reading our blogs for a while now, you might have an inkling as to what that might be. Biophilic Design channels a love of nature and has been created to increase a person’s connectivity to the natural world through the direct and indirect use of nature, space, and furniture. We are already aware that the backing on the Pero stools is on-trend for 2023, but because of Biophilic Design and its emphasis on natural materials, the wooden legs and backing are true to this style too. The unusual shape of its curved back is also an ode to this design because it values natural and unusual shapes.

No. 3 Ottowa Bar Stools
Ahhh, the Ottowa Range, what can we say that hasn’t already been said by our recurring customers? This fabulous range includes dining chairs, dining benches, office chairs, and footstools, but what we love the most are the lavish bar stools. Upholstered in sumptuous velvet and faux-leather materials, they really are a stand-out feature in a person’s home. Still, this isn’t the only reason why these have been chosen as on-trend bar stools for 2023, again they have a supportive back and curves in all the right places. We are seeing rounded and soft-edged styles coming back in fashion for 2023 (not that it ever really left) which is exactly what the Ottowa bring to the bar table…literally.
No. 4 Java Bar Stools
Introducing our Java Bar Stools. Aren’t they beautiful? Their curved backing and seat pads are just what we need for 2023. Upholstered in neutral cream faux leather, it contrasts with the walnut outer finish for the ultimate look for the upcoming season. This is one of the only one-legged bar stools on the list and there is a reason for this, the Java Bar Stools encompass all of the upcoming trends and are timeless, so won’t even look out of style when the 1st of January 2024 arrives.
No. 5 The Gain Bar Stools
Did you call for curves? Well, say hello to the stunning Gain Bar Stools. They have curves that don’t sacrifice function or design. A taupe faux leather covers the back and seat portion of the stools to reveal a truly stunning stand-out item of furniture. Again, its neutral colour is on-trend now and not about to fall out of style anytime soon. It’s all about stone, taupe, cream, and cocoa-brown shades for the foreseeable future.
No. 6 Margot Bar Stools
The Margot Bar Stools will blend seamlessly and stylishly into anyone’s home decor. Yes, they too featured in our 2022 blog, but only because they are ageless and possess all of the trends for next year. Crafted from rustic oak, it’s clear to see that Biophilic Design is accurately represented in not only the material but the curved shaping on the back legs and the backrest. You will be seated in great comfort and style relaxing at your bar, counter, or kitchen Island if you invest in the Margot Bar Stools.
EZ TIP: Always remember to measure the height of the stool you plan on purchasing against your current bar table. Stools come in various sizes and some are more suitable for a kitchen island which tends to be smaller than a bar area.
With extensive research, we - EZ Living Furniture are sure that our bar stools predictions for 2023 will come true. We’re also delighted that many of the soon-to-be trends are part of our collection of bar stools.
