7 Ways to Style a Stool
1. As a Front-and-Center Statement Piece
2. As a Hint of Color
The pale pink stool pictured above is the same one from the teal living room in the first example, but because of the room's lighter color scheme, it blends in rather than stands out – offering a subtle contrast of color and soft elegant appeal.
3. As Hallway Décor
If you've fallen in love with a chic stool that perfectly matches your style and want it to last as long as possible, consider placing it in the entryway or hallway, where it won't see much use – but makes for effortless space-defining décor.
4. As Deck Lounging
Because stools are generally lightweight and portable, they are one of the easiest ways to bring standout style to the outdoors when you're entertaining – and back inside when the party's wrapped up!
5. As a Foot Prop
For those days when all you really want to do is sit back and relax, look for a durable accent stool made of wood, metal or even plastic to use as a foot prop.
6. As an Accent Chair
Stools, foot props, accent chairs – who needs labels? Use your "stool" for the purpose that suits you best – whether it's as background décor, extra storage space or even chic seating!
7. As a Reading Table
The 'stool-as-table' is one of the chicest design choices you can make, and you really can't go wrong. If you are planning on styling a stool next to a chair, though, look for taller designs to make sure you can easily reach what you place on top of it!
