Spray paint them in a new metallic color.

Spray paint the frames black and recover the seats with what ever fabric works for where you'll be using them. I'd leave the wood backs as they are though.

If the stools are going to be in the same room I would probably pad and cover the backs of both sets to make them look more uniform. Paint the foot ring on the smaller ones silver so they are matching.

Keep the natural wood as is - rustic - and spray paint the metal black to accent the wood.

spray paint either black or white for the stool frame. Find a bright color vinyl to cover seats.The seats come apart and you can cover with out removing old fabric. Find something that goes with your kitchen decor. check Hobby Lobby and remnant stores for fabric.

All good ideas above. Also, write "bar stools" in the search box above and you will get several projects by other HomeTalkers to inspire you.

I would add a foam cushion to the ones on the right so that all of the are comfortable. Add piping to the top to match the one on the left, then paint the frames all black or leave the wood unpainted.

I have stools with and without backs that I have to upholster. I am leaving the ones with the backs the way they are because they are metal. I am using vinyl material on them because they are used in the kitchen. The others are to be used in our Living Room for my grandd kids to use so I haven't decided on what to put on them yet.

If you paint the metal, use spray paint that is for outdoor grills or motor engines. It will adhere much better and hold up to the foot use.
