There's no denying the popularity of the relaxed, versatile kitchen island. But the décor blog staple comes with a hidden price — bar stool seating. After spending hundreds on an island, realizing you have to spend another hundred dollars (or more) per bar stool can leave you standing during breakfast. Fortunately for those trying to open their floor plan instead of their wallets, the cheap bar stools Target has to offer are both as elevated in style as they are elevating.
Not only does Target already provide plenty of affordably stylish seating, it's also running a buy one, get one half off sale on bar stools. That means a pair of these woven mid-century modern bar stools from the Opalhouse collection will cost you $209.98 instead of the regular $279.98. With that extra $70, you can buy a few palm fronds and gilded glasses to transform your kitchen island into a matching '50s cabana bar.
Though the uptick in kitchen island popularity has ushered in endless bar stool styles to choose from, the industrial bar stool is still one of the most popular choices in the design world. Even on Target's website, the Dakota bar stool is the bestseller, with over 300 reviews and a nearly perfect five star rating. At $99 for one and $149.98 for a pair during the BOGO sale, the affordability of the Dakota plus the adjustable back makes it an ideal choice when adding a little rough minimalism to your kitchen.
In true Target fashion, the sale includes items already marked down, like this faux leather and walnut swiveling bar stool. Regularly $92.99, the mod bar stool is on sale for $83.69, with a set retailing at $125.54 during the BOGO sale. Anyone who has sat for dinner in an uncomfortable bar stool can tell you how important having this bar stool's extra cushioning, back rest, and foot rest are — and the leatherette and wood combination gives off enviable Eames lounge chair vibes, as well. For a similar look at even less, grab the mid-century modern Sonia bar stool: inititally $75.99, one bar stool is now $68.39, and a set will cost you only $102.58 during the sale.
The sale also extends across Target's giant selection of counter stools, so add the perfect amount of millennial pink to your kitchen nook with a pair of these blush counter stools for $149.98. Though your closet may already be drenched in the popular shade, the color is actually seriously trending again — but this time, for home décor.
