Red Stools



When you think of red stools, chances are you think of a low stool with a thick, patent-red upholstered cushion. While that is a type of red stool, and a very popular type at that, there are many other options for red stools that can fit into any décor and lifestyle. These types include different hue cloth upholstery, red leather stools, and of course the one you always think of, the patent-red upholstery.

Cloth or fabric upholstery is extremely popular on stools. Many stools boast red back and seat cushions in several different red hues, like scarlet, brown-red, and blood red hues. This type of red stools are common and can be beautiful and compliment any décor. They may sometimes be more difficult to clean and maintain, but their style and look are very much worth it. Metal, wood, wrought iron, and even swivel stools can incorporate red hued upholstery into their designs.

Leather can come in almost any color, and red leather is a very popular color choice for leather as far as upholstery goes. Gorgeous dark wood with red leather upholstery stools are often bought for laid-back bar areas and kitchen counters, depending on the décor. Red leather is as beautiful and has the same signature texture as regular leather, and that means it requires the same amount of care to maintain the leather’s beauty. Regular maintenance with leather cleaners made only for leather will keep it from becoming cracked and dried out, and prevent accidental tearing. It is very expensive to repair leather, but for many homes it is worth the beautiful look of red leather stools.

There is of course the one you always think about – the short stool with red-patent upholstery found in drive-in diners of the 1950s. These are surprisingly more popular than you might think, however. Kids’ rooms, fun party bars, and counter stools for a modern kitchen with red as a central theme all incorporate these red stools into their décor on a regular basis. With the right accents and decorating skills, red stools can be worked into any home, if you know your options.
