I thought I'd close this discussion with a picture of the stools I chose - thank you Tribble for suggesting the Jack Stool. I went with these and absolutely love them!! Charlie from Ancora Designs was very helpful.

Good luck with your bar stool selection. I completely agree with your choice to buy from a shop rather than online. I've included a photo of 2 white stools I purchased (if they suit the look you're after). A word of warning - after seeing them in someone's kitchen photo from Houzz, I bought them online. Both stools arrived badly packaged with dents & scratches on the wooden backs & both had faulty gas cylinders so seats wouldn't go up. A refund was granted months later after PayPal investigated but I had to pay to return them (cheapest freight was twice what the stools cost). Now I will always buy from a shop!

Love to see personal styling rather than matchy matchy show home look! I love the cane chairs but you don't want it to look crowded. Though you could put one to the left of the room facing the other way so it's more conversational rather than everyone facing the TV and with their backs to rest of the house. I love that Freedom lounge it'll look great. I'd probably add a rug in a warmer texture even a plain or patterned sisal to soften the dark shiny floor (the dark colour makes your room look smaller and is a bit stark against your nice warm timber) and anchor the furniture together, Freedom and West Elm also have great options.

Thanks siriuskey. I was worried that I would get something too off the rest of the style. I have an interior designer helping me but I have blown my budget already so used her advice for all the other furnishing and artwork. This website is amazing! For someone like me, who has no clue, is a life saver!!!
