Bar Stools in the Perfect Manhattan Penthouse Bar

Welcome to New York! You've met your goal of becoming a Manhattan resident after landing your dream job in the Big Apple, and you should be proud of your accomplishment. At the same time, now you are faced with outfitting your new flat with furnishings and décor worthy of such a lifestyle. One of your first goals is to build a mini bar, complete with liquor, pourers, and the works. Your first goal is to find the perfect posh barstools for seating in the swag pad.

You're living in a penthouse now, and you feel like you shouldn't skimp on the furniture because any lack of quality will be noticeable in your new home. At the same time, you're just starting out here and that new salary that put the dollar signs in your eyes hasn't quite kicked in, so you don't have a fortune to spend. It's actually quite simple to find discount bar stools that are still high quality and look great. Look for direct buy furniture products, and assess floor models to save cash. Also, check out discount name brand manufacturers, many of which offer internet only sales to save on overhead.

When you find the right sources, your choices for décor are unlimited. What sort of person are you stylistically? Do you prefer the classic bulk and intricate designs of old English furniture, or would the sleek lines and sharp angles of contemporary bar stools be more your style? Perhaps a marriage of the two in something like a neo-classic or "new antique" design might suit your fancy. Any of these can look great in your new penthouse.

If you opt for metal bar stools, you will want to try to find one of two styles: something that looks ultramodern, shiny, and hip; or something that is reminiscent of a 1950's soda shop. From there, you can plan out what the bar itself will look like. You can go for space age modern with the former option or oldies cute and peppy with the latter.

Wood bar stools would probably be the more posh decision for a Manhattan penthouse mini bar, but again, stylistically, all your décor and themes should represent the real you. If you prefer something else, you should go with your instincts. Be sure that you design your bar adequately for the space it will occupy. Don't make it too big or too small - you don't want it to overtake the space, but you want it to be visible. Your choice of style and barstools will help you with that. If it's in the living room, consider erecting a small screen to separate the bar area while not taking it out of view. In the bedroom, choose an empty corner. If it's part of the kitchen, leave it out in the open, but make sure it clearly contrasts the rest of the kitchen décor to create its own atmosphere. Let it speak for itself and scream to guests that you are an up and comer in the Big City!
