I'm a kitchen editor who scours the high street daily – these are the best places to shop for island bar stools for any budget

Blue kitchen in barn conversion.

A kitchen island remains one of the most lustworthy features you can add to a cooking space - a spot to cook at, dine, socialise and altogether form the hub of your home. But no island is complete without a set of barstools.

Regardless of whether you pair your kitchen island ideas with two stools just for casual perching or a row of seating to house the whole family, it's important to get the purchase right. Choose wrongly, and you'll suffer through every morning coffee with a bad back, and you'll instantly discourage guests from lingering in the area where the chef must remain.
