Why Choose By Oliver Furniture

At By Oliver Furniture, we prioritise comfort, quality, and a seamless customer experience.

Our curated range of Scandinavian bar chairs is crafted with timeless design in mind, think pale woods, curved silhouettes, and upholstered seats that blend effortlessly into minimalist or Nordic-inspired interiors. Whether you’re after a set of Scandinavian bar stools to complement a natural wood island or prefer rattan bar stools with backs for texture and support, our collection balances form and function for stylish, everyday seating.

What style of bar stool is most comfortable?

The most comfortable barstools tend to feature padded seats and supportive backrests, offering better posture and long-lasting comfort. Our Solid Wood Scandinavian Bar stools are a great choice, with a curved back and soft bouclé fabric that provides gentle support without sacrificing style. For extra comfort, the Luxury Kitchen Barstool with Backs features an ergonomic-style frame with upholstered seating, while our White Bouclé Scandinavian Bar stools include a backrest, armrests, and a deep cushioned seat, ideal for longer periods of sitting.

What makes a bar stool Scandinavian style?

A Scandinavian bar stool is defined by clean lines, natural materials like wood or rattan, and a minimal silhouette that prioritises both comfort and function. Often finished in muted tones or warm neutrals, a true Scandinavian bar chair blends seamlessly into modern, Nordic, and Japandi interiors.

Are bar stools with backs comfortable for everyday use?

Yes — Bar stools with backs offer both structure and flexibility, making them ideal for daily seating at kitchen islands or breakfast bars. When paired with a supportive wooden frame and footrest, they provide long-lasting comfort while adding texture and warmth to the space.

What type of bar stools work best in a minimalist kitchen?

In a minimalist kitchen, Scandinavian bar chairs with soft curves, light wood tones, and subtle upholstery work best. Look for pared-back styles in linen, boucle, or natural rattan that complement rather than overpower your space, simplicity is key to maintaining a calm and functional aesthetic.

How to Style Scandinavian Bar Chairs

Scandinavian bar chairs work best when paired with simple, natural elements, think clean-lined kitchen islands, light wood tones, and a calm, neutral colour palette. If you’re opting for a modern space with white cabinets or a breakfast bar, our woven white wishbone bar stool is an ideal choice—its airy silhouette and pale wood frame blend effortlessly into bright, open interiors. For a bolder take on Scandi style, match darker wood or black-stained stools with black fixtures or deeper-toned woods for contrast. One of our bestsellers, the black rattan bar stool chair with back, perfectly captures the look, its mix of natural textures and curved frame makes it a go-to for modern Scandi homes.
