When considering the pieces of furniture people keep in their homes, many come to mind, each with different uses. Some are big. Some are small. Some have multiple uses. But almost all of your furniture is necessary and serves some kind of purpose, no matter how much space it takes up. Bar stools, or pub stools, however, are small and convenient, plus they provide many more uses than one may realize. Obviously, you cannot store belongings in your pub stool, or lie down in it and go to sleep. Still, bar stools are one of the most versatile pieces of furniture out there, with uses ranging throughout many rooms in your home.

Let's start with the obvious - a bar or rec room. Since this is a bar stool's natural environment, not much needs to be said. Just make sure that you do not go overboard on the amount of stools in any one area. 2-4 bar stools for any home bar is sufficient, and will add nice ambiance without leaving a cramped or cluttered feeling. For a billiard or rec room, two pub stools with a matching pub table and hanging Tiffany lamp fit perfectly in the corner and should not interfere with any game play or rec room activities.

Similarly, the kitchen is also worth mentioning. Anyone who has a breakfast island or counter knows that bar stools are usually the perfect height to chow down on some eggs and toast before work or school. And when you are finished, simply push the stool under the counter, out of the way until you need it again. Also, a couple of extra bar stools lined up against a kitchen wall or dispersed in corners can, in fact, add to the aesthetic atmosphere of your kitchen or dining area, while, at the same time, provide extra seating, if required.

Working in the garage and at the tool bench are two more settings where a stool comes in handy. It is nice to sit down while trying to fix something at your workbench, and a stool seems to be just the right height. Or perhaps a pub stool with your favorite car logo would look good in your garage next to your classic, vintage vehicle, yet prove to be extremely useful if you find yourself making repairs or restoring an old fix-me-up.

Many other uses come to mind with just a bit of imagination. For example, most bar stools operate on a swivel spin system, which provides hours of amusement for any child looking to get a little dizzy. It can also be used as a small counter for anything you need to constantly rotate, especially if you need both hands free to work on something, like when decorating a cake or oiling a large, heavy car part. It is much easier to spin the object on a bar stool (or something like one) than it is to move yourself around the object with which you are working.

Bar stools have many uses, and their size and versatility provide many advantages over other pieces of furniture. Even folding chairs, although they can be stored away easily, do not provide any aesthetic value, whereas bar stools can add character to almost any room in your house. Consider a pub stool or two the next time you want to add some new furniture to your home. Their uses are many, their aesthetic value is high, and they are definitely affordable, even for a complete set.
