Ottomans and footstools have a very strong heritage in the field of interior decoration over four hundered years of decoration and design. These furniture pieces originate from Turkish familial seating and since then ottomans and footstools have acquired a lot of popularity since the 17th and early 18th centuries.
They are very versatile and functional pieces of furniture that can be used for a variety of purposes ranging from relaxation to enhancing the aesthetic look of a room effortlessly. Apart from that, here are a few unique uses of ottomans and footstools for your home:
Make-shift Seating
All of us have come face to face with the problem of having more guests than it was planned. Ottomans can be used to seat those extra people when there is no room in your house. Ottomans come in many colours but a black ottoman not only adds more style and glamour for your room, it can also be used as a storage unit for small items like magazines, CDs and other small items.
Coffee Table
If you have a footstool in front of your sofa, you can also use it as a coffee table. Its height and sturdiness are enough to support a solid tray with heavy teapots, cups and saucers. A black leather footstool or a pouffe not only improves the look and feel of your room, it can also be used as leg rests, storage units and bed benches for those people with sophisticated tastes.
