The year is gradually drawing to an end and that means it's time to plan your annual New Year's bash. You've got the venue, you've got the guest list, but one thing is missing: bar stools! Before you make any decisions about what kind of stools to buy for your party, there are some important questions to ask yourself. Here are five things I think every host should know before purchasing new stools:
What's Your Style?
Before you begin shopping, it's important to consider your personal style. Do you prefer modern or traditional? If so, what is your ideal look? Do you have a color scheme in mind? Are there any specific details that are important to you or do you have a particular theme in mind for your party (such as an elegant black and gold New Year's Eve affair)? Once these questions are answered, it's time to start searching for bar stools!
You may already have some furniture at home that could be used as inspiration for the type of bar stool that would work best. If this is the case, simply buy stools that match those pieces, so they coordinate perfectly with one another when guests arrive. If not, then think about how much space there will be in different areas of your home before choosing which style and size would best fit there.
What's Your Theme?
When you're planning your New Year's Eve party, it's important to consider the theme. You want everything to be cohesive and consistent, so that you can create a cohesive look and feel throughout the space.
The same is true when sourcing bar stools for your event—you want them to fit with your overall aesthetic. When choosing new chairs for your space, ask yourself: Is there any other furniture in my home that could share this color scheme or style? How will my guests feel sitting on these stools? Do they have high backs or low backs? What kind of legs do they have (round or square)? And most importantly: what color are they?
How Many People are Coming Over? Will Everyone be Sitting Down?
The number of people you're planning to have over will determine how many bar stools you need. If it's a small party, you probably don't need as many seats. You could save money by getting folding stools or stackable ones instead of full-sized bar stools that take up more space.
If it's going to be a big bash with lots of guests, however, your best bet is to invest in some higher quality models that can handle multiple people at once without breaking down under the pressure. It may be tempting to buy cheap aftermarket pieces, but they won't hold up as well under heavy use and are more likely to break down before your party even begins!
Will You Serve Drinks at the Bar or around a Table?
What Features are Must-Haves for You?
Happy Planning!
Planning is an essential part of the process. It's a big part too: without it, you can't really get what you want. So make sure that at every step along the way, from choosing your bar stools to setting up your party to enjoying it on New Year's Eve, you're asking yourself good questions that will help guide your decisions and make things easier for everyone involved. We can't wait to see what kind of planning goes into this year's festivities!

Will You Serve Drinks at the Bar or around a Table?
- Do you want stools with backs, or no backs? If you plan on serving drinks at the bar and want stools with backs, choose ones that are made for high-traffic areas. These will be much more durable than their counterparts without backs.
- Are you planning to serve drinks around a table, rather than behind one? In this case, avoid selecting tall bar stools as they may prevent people from sitting comfortably.
What Features are Must-Haves for You?
- Swivel: Swiveling is a must for bar stools, so you can easily make room for people to get behind the bar.
- Adjustable height: Bar stool heights should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of people and situations. The more adjustments available, the better!
- Footrest: If there's going to be dancing at your party, you want everyone to have access to a footrest (or at least somewhere they can rest their feet). This way they won't get tired out while having fun instead of helping out with serving!
