A bar can be a fun and stylish addition to any home. From tiki styles to traditional dark wood bars, there is a huge selection out there, and finding the right bar and bar stools to match the rest of your home's decor can be a challenge.

The furniture professionals at Direct Furniture in Foley, AL share some advice on the matter and have three tips to help you design a home bar:

• Height Matters: Sitting at a home bar should be comfortable and accessible. Make sure you try out potential barstools with your chosen bar to make sure they sit at a comfortable height and won’t leave your guests feeling too short or tall. 
• Harmonize: While it may be a fun idea to add a beach themed bar to your home, if the rest of your patio or living room furniture doesn’t fit into this theme, your bar could look out of place. Find a bar and bar stools that work well with the furniture you already have, so you can enjoy it for many seasons to come.
• Plan Ahead: Consider whether you will be using your bar and bar stools inside or outside, who will be using them often, how stable they are for children, and other factors before making a final purchase. For example, if you live in a hot area and want outdoor bar stools, metal is not your best option. Likewise, casual, bright stools probably won’t look right next to a mahogany basement bar and pool table. Buy a bar and bar stools you and your friends will want to use all the time.
