2. Industrial Pipe

This is gorgeous! This pipe style DIY bar stool may just be my favorite from this list. A little reminder, pipes and connectors can be quite costly. But if you have your heart set on chic industrial bar stool, this DIY tutorial is for you. To save on pipes, you might not want to go for the bottom outer curve design and simply make straight legs. That could work, too. You can also make only one or two, and not go for a whole set of several stools.

5. Modern Plywood

This is one delightful bar stool. Not only is this a wonderfully modern design, the assembly looks quite easy as well. You will need 3/4” plywood, wood glue, screws, shelf brackets, and several power tools (drill, miter and jig saw) for this project.

6. Curvy Top

These DIY bar stools look comfy because of their curved top. Making them will require only wood for the legs and seat. The curved top was achieved using circular saw and chisel. Once you get a rough curve, sand until the seat becomes smooth. Paint in any color you like.

7. Pop of Blue

This is a bar stool makeover that you can do in one afternoon. The first step is to acquire cheap bar stools. Next, you paint the legs white. After they dry, you will then spray paint the rim of the seat with bright blue. Any color you like will do as well. I think dark pink and gold will look lovely.
