Few pieces of furniture have the versatility of the ottoman.
Whether made out of leather, fabric, wood, plastic, rattan, glass, metal, or foam, the ottoman is much more than a functional footrest these days.
Styles range from sleek contemporary to tasseled traditional, and have transitioned from the easy chair to a statement piece, sitting front and center in a room.
With a wide range of sizes, there’s an ottoman for any space and need.
10 Uses for Ottomans…
- Extra seating-group 2, 4, or more.
- Coffee or side tables-set a large tray on top.
- Seat at the foot of the bed.
- Good old footrest.
- Extra storage inside storage ottomans.
- Decorative accent piece in a room.
- Dressing seat in a bathroom or closet.
- Storage seats in childrens rooms.
- Entry seat in the foyer.
- Ottoman sleepers fold out to make a guest bed.
Can you think of any others?
Ottomans can be found everywhere and in every price range. They are fairly easy to recover if you find one that needs a facelift, as this one did to the left. Even an old coffee table can be turned into ottoman. Or, make one from scratch…it’s just a box.
I like to make the ottoman a focal point in a grouping, contrasting what is anchored, around this island of interest. Like a piece of sculpture, it is noticed at first glance, and can be a wonderful functional accent piece in the room.
Put your feet up and relax, you’ll love the possibilities!

1. Recently I saw a brown oblong zebra print ottoman in your store here in Tampa . When I returned the next day with a bigger vehicle to pick it up it was sold. Ever since that day I have been calling every Homegoods, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls within a 50 mile radius in case they are in stock once more. This is running me crazy because I really loved that ottoman.
What can I do? any advice??
