Ottomans are a terrific option for apartments and homes with open floor plans that share seats with more than one room. For instance, there might only be one seating area in an open concept living and family room. With the addition of pillows and being pushed up against a wall, ottomans can be used as a couch or left alone to bring seating to a communal area. If you have a large space in your home, our Mongolian Faux Fur Ottoman is a great statement yet functional piece of furniture sure to wow your guests.
Footrests are timeless. The original purpose of an ottoman was for you to rest your feet on it, and this custom will never die. Determine the space you have for yours. Sizes for ottomans are available in square, tiny, and widths as small as a couch. Our Super Mink Faux Fur Ottoman comes in a vast array of colors sure to match any couch or sofa in your home.
Small-item storage is necessary in every living room or family room. Whether it's for movies, video games, remote controls, or kid's toys. The best storage that is accessible and expertly camouflages itself is found in ottomans with a hinged top. At the foot of the bed in master bedrooms, ottomans with storage also function nicely. An ottoman with built in storage such as our Heavy Faux Fur Storage Ottoman is a great option to enhance small spaces as well as offer alternative storage space for your room.
Many different types of ottomans are interesting and visually appealing due to their shapes and geometric arrangements. Think about a circle-shaped set of ottomans that, when broken apart, can provide four equal wedges of seats. Ottomans come in a variety of shapes, from circular to serpentine designs. To enhance the visual appeal of any room in your home our Jacquard Chenille Ottoman is a bold yet elegant option for any space.
Ottomans are a great option for sitting that can be taken out as needed if you're attempting to save room. This style of seating is perfect for entertaining because it features individual seats or ottoman benches with casters or rollers below them. When not in use, tuck seats under the table, which gives the ottoman a completely new use. Try using our Glitter Faux Fur Round Ottoman as fun and bold alternatives to individual chairs in your entertaining space.

A coffee table is a table that sits next to a couch and is used to set objects down and showcase them. In recent years, ottomans have gotten bigger and more functional, allowing them to double as coffee tables. The ottoman can be used to hold a drink tray or to display periodicals. Replace your coffee table with our Supersoft Tufted Coffee Table Ottoman to elevate your space and add a luxurious and elegant feel to your living room or bedroom.
Ottomans made of materials like denim or tweed, which are suitable for children, can be utilized as a flat surface for children to play on while they sit on the floor. Larger ottomans can be utilized for board games and socializing with friends without taking up space at your home's main dining table or in the common areas. A good choice is our Milliken Plush Ottoman due to its bold design yet easy to clean surface.
