Bar stools generally fit into two categories.
Kitchen counter height breakfast bar. Add a few stools and you have a nice looking windowsill breakfast bar saving space in your kitchen. I understand your concern but i would think if you did bar height it will narrow the distance between the bulk head and the counter consequently feeling cramped.

A breakfast bar is either a full kitchen island or a countertop overhang with a height that has enough room for the legs and a size that can accommodate ample room for meals.

Counter height stools have a seat height of 58 72cm and are ideal for kitchen counters with a height of 89 94cm while bar height stools have a seat height of 72 82cm for bars 104cm 109cm tall.
Stools that are considered counter height should have a seat around 24 inches high to fit properly under a standard 36 inch counter. The most common height for a bar top whether it is a kitchen breakfast bar a basement wet bar or a commercial bar down at the corner pub is 42 inches. At both of these heights stools should easily slide in and out. I agree with nikki.

A typical breakfast bar counter has a standard height of 42 inches 107 centimeters and a depth countertop overhang of 12 to 16 inches 30 to 40 centimeters. I have bar height in my kitchen and while i enjoy it it chops my kitchen up i feel.
