There’s a good reason why we associate the idea of relaxing at home with sitting back and putting our feet up, maybe with a nice glass of wine. That level of comfort is something most people experience at home, and nothing invites you to put your feet up at the end of the day like a well-placed ottoman. Finding an ottoman to coordinate with a comfy chair or sofa is relatively simple. What I’d like to do is show you some alternate placement for the many styles of ottomans and the various ways they can bring more to your home than rest for weary feet.
Let that ottoman double as a coffee table! This is particularly a good option if space is limited and can work with both modern and traditional decor.
Along the same lines, a small ottoman can act as a side table. Again, there are many styles to choose from and placement options to consider. At the end of a sofa or between two chairs, for example.
Finally, consider adding ottomans to a living or family room to act as both decor and extra seating for guests. They are typically smaller, lighter, and easier to move than other seating choices. An ottoman can certainly be more attractive and stylish than something like a folding chair.
With the ability to custom-design an ottoman by choosing your own fabric, the possibilities for adding such a versatile piece of furniture to your home are limitless. When you consider how many choices you have for patterns and texture, it’s easy to see the many uses for an ottoman besides a simple foot rest.
