When we moved into our house, I purchased inexpensive, distressed counter stools. My husband joked that I’d bought old used chairs and everyone that walks in asks if they came with the house, yet everyone rushes to grab a seat at our coveted counter, which is spacious enough for working, eating, and having great conversation.

Here are some nice options whose style diversity you can’t go wrong with. Look for performance fabrics, darker colors, or textured fabric weaves so you don’t have to worry about the spills; or aim for a leather, plastic, or wood finish, which are the easiest to wipe.
