Best Coastal Bar Stools For A Beachy Look (and where to buy them!)

Share This Post!

Finding the right bar stools for your coastal kitchen is fun and challenging at the same time! There are so many coastal bar stools out there to choose from – where do you even start?? When I first bought my little beach cottage in Lake Worth Beach, I was in the market for some low profile bar stools to sit right under my kitchen counter peninsula. I went back and forth for a while on what kind to choose – back or no back? metal or fabric? colored or neutral?

Here are some of my favorite coastal bar stools that I found during my search. Hopefully these will help guide you in the right direction for picking bar stools for your own kitchen.

There are also some things to check on before actually purchasing your new bars stools….

1: What bar stool height do you need? The most common are counter height or bar height!

2: Do you want your bar stool to have a back or no back?

3: What material would best suite your space?

4: What color bar stool are you looking for? Neutral or something that pops?


Coastal Bar Stools From Wayfair

Like this teal coastal blue distressed metal bar stool. This is what I have for my small kitchen peninsula. They are low profile, adorable, a pop of coastal color, and durable!

I love the contrast between the white peninsula with light granite countertops. The teal blue color bar stools really pop and I always am getting asked where they are from!!

They are from Wayfair – you can get the same ones here.

Low Profile Upholstered Two Tone Bar Stools

There are a lot of different color pallets that can be considered coastal. This kitchen has a beachy feel but also not the typical all white cabinets that we see. The bar stools here are a dark walnut wood base with a light gray upholstered seat. They tuck perfectly under the kitchen island peninsula.


Navy Blue & Tan Bar Stools

I found these navy blue and tan bar stools by Serena and Lily from an Instagram post. Aren’t they just perfect in this beautiful beachy kitchen?

They give this kitchen a bit of a nautical feel.

Natural Basket Weave Bar Stools

For some reason, these bar stools kind of remind me of chairs that used to be in my Grandma’s kitchen – ha! But of course, way better.

This white kitchen is clean, elegant, and simple. I love how everything is white and the bar stools give a little pop of color.
