Giant kitchen islands have their place in sprawling homes, but sleek, bar-side seating makes a statement in any space. In this cool kitchen, quartz countertops and a neutral, grid backsplash lead to the eating area where blue, vegan leather counter stools stand. They swivel to make your entry and exit easy, and their tall backs add to the comfort level. Matte black tapered legs lend more modern appeal while a cotton runner softens the scene.
