A Bunnings stool is a seating product available through Bunnings Warehouse, Australia’s leading home improvement and hardware retailer, designed for casual seating, workshop use, kitchens, bars and versatile spaces around the home. In simple terms, a Bunnings stool is a functional seat — usually lightweight and compact — that adds convenience, comfort and flexibility wherever you need an extra place to sit. The main reason Australians love Bunnings stools is their combination of affordability, practicality and variety, making them ideal for everyday living, outdoor areas, garages and entertaining spaces.
Here’s why this matters: stools from Bunnings adapt to different roles — from breakfast bar stools in the kitchen to handy extra seating in busy living areas — without breaking the budget.

In simple terms, Bunnings stools cover every need — from functional workshop seating to stylish stools that complement casual and contemporary home interiors.
Selecting the right Bunnings stool depends on purpose, height, material and design preferences. Here’s a clear, actionable guide:
Kitchen or island seating: bar or counter stools
Workshop or hobby space: utility stools
Outdoor entertaining: weather-resistant designs
Guest seating: folding or stackable stools
Stools must align with bench or table height:
Counter height: typically ~70–75 cm bench — choose stools ~60 cm
Bar height: ~90–105 cm bench — choose stools ~75–80 cm
Check measurements before buying to ensure comfort and proper leg space.
Metal: industrial, durable and easy to clean
Timber: warm, natural and designer-friendly
Plastic or composite: lightweight, easy to move
Mixed materials: combine durability with aesthetic appeal
Padded or upholstered seats for dining and long chats
Footrests for relaxed posture
Backs vs backless stools depending on support needs
Folding stools: great for small homes, rentals or temporary seating
Stackable stools: perfect for multi-use spaces
Here’s why these steps matter: thoughtful selection ensures your stool suits both function and home design, making every sit more comfortable and intentional.

Here’s why this matters: combining functional Bunnings stools with curated décor elevates both utility and aesthetic — making your spaces more intentional, cohesive and inviting.
Australian interiors in 2025 prioritise mixed materials, multifunctional design and laid-back sophistication — and stools are no exception.
Timber stools and mixed wood-metal combinations are trending for kitchens and casual living areas.
Stools that double as side tables, plant stands or stackable storage solutions are gaining popularity in small spaces.
Durable stools that transition effortlessly from indoor kitchens to alfresco lounges are in high demand.
Clean lines, metal frames and minimalist silhouettes fit both contemporary and industrial interiors.
Soft upholstery, curved seats and tactile textures add designer appeal without losing practicality.
Here’s why this matters: 2025 design preferences reflect relaxed urban living — pieces that work hard, look great, and feel comfortable in diverse spaces.
Good stool styling makes both functional sense and aesthetic impact. Here’s how to integrate them beautifully.
Use stools with backs or footrests for long conversations. Choose upholstered seats to soften stronger materials like stone benchtops.
Match outdoor stools with weather-resistant textiles and natural elements like jute rugs or potted greenery. Create cohesive zones that feel like interiors extended outside.
Place stools of different heights around a high table or bench to create visual rhythm and casual seating clusters.
Add faux-fur seat pads, textured cushions from Zaffero or Emac & Lawton, and woven throws for comfort and style.
Place a stool beside your bed as a bedside table when needed, or use it as a plant stand with decorative pots from OneWorld Collection.
In simple terms, stool styling is about balance — blending comfort, function and décor to make seating feel intentional and beautiful.
