Wooden stools for the home – how to choose and where to place for precise design
In an era where interior design is all about authenticity, textures, and natural materials – wooden stools have become a sought-after item that combines functionality with beauty. They add warmth, depth, and a layer of naturalness to any space – and can easily upgrade even the smallest corner of the house.
In this article, we will present ideas for uses, tips for choosing the right one, and recommended models that you can incorporate into your home.
Types of wooden stools and what they are suitable for
- A massive, handmade round wooden stool – a natural block of wood with a unique finish, perfect for a low seating area or as an addition next to the sofa.
- A natural wooden stool with 4 legs – a classic and light item that also works as a seating area at the table or as a side table.
- A smooth wooden stool in a light shade – ideal for a clean, Nordic style, fits perfectly next to the bed.
- A thick wooden bench – an excellent solution for the entrance to the house, the end of the bed, or an empty wall that requires design reinforcement.
Ideas for incorporating stools into home design
- Beside the bed – instead of a standard nightstand, a low wooden stool gives a natural, soft, and slightly unexpected look.
- At the entrance to the house – a wooden bench can be used both for placing a bag or putting on shoes and for adding warmth to the entrance.
- In the bathroom – a small round stool can be used as a surface for placing a towel, candle, or accessories.
- As a side table in the living room – next to an armchair or sofa, for added natural texture.
- As a styling for photography – for those who like to create layers in the design or place books and candles on it.
Why a tree?
Solid wood brings a sense of warmth, naturalness, and authenticity that is hard to compete with. Each stool is one of a kind – with veins, shades, and small cracks that tell a story. In addition, wooden stools are durable, not a passing trend, and easily combine with other materials such as cotton, linen, rattan, or concrete.
How to choose the right stool?
- Adjust the height to the location of use – next to a bed, shower or table.
- Check the size of the space – will the stool function as a side table or just as a design element?
- Match the wood color to the overall design – light for a Nordic look, dark for a rustic or boho look.
- Pay attention to the shape of the legs – 4 legs give a more airy look; one block of wood brings strength and depth.
