Ottomans
Every beautiful room needs a soft centre. Ottomans are the gorgeous, hardworking heroes of the home - ready to catch tired feet, host a tray of Sunday morning coffees, or offer an extra seat when loved ones gather round. They take the hard edges out of a room, replacing them with inviting textures and effortless charm. Whether you want to neatly tuck away everyday clutter or simply add a touch of plush warmth to your bedroom, our collection is designed to make your home feel wonderfully welcoming.
How to pair an ottoman with your sofa?
The key to pairing an ottoman with a sofa is getting the proportions right. As a general rule, the ottoman should be roughly two thirds the width of your sofa - wide enough to feel intentional, without overpowering the room. For a cohesive look, match the fabric or tone to your sofa; for something more considered, use the ottoman as a chance to introduce a contrasting texture like boucle against a smooth linen or velvet against leather. Add a tray on top to anchor the arrangement and give it the functionality of a low coffee table.
What are the best ottomans for extra storage?
Ottomans with hidden storage are perfect for decluttering your home while keeping your space looking tidy. Choose a design with a lift-up lid or a soft-close mechanism to store blankets, magazines, or even shoes. These ottomans combine practicality with style, providing much-needed storage in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways without sacrificing aesthetics.
Can an ottoman work as a bedside table?
Yes - and it's one of the more underrated ways to use one. A small, upholstered ottoman with a flat top placed beside the bed offers a softer, warmer alternative to a traditional nightstand. It works well in rooms where you want to reduce hard edges and create a more relaxed atmosphere. Use the surface for a lamp, a book, or a glass of water, and take advantage of any storage inside to keep the bedroom feeling uncluttered. It works particularly well in smaller bedrooms where a standard bedside table would feel too bulky.
How to keep an ottoman clean and well-maintained?
Caring for your ottoman depends on the material it's made from. Fabric ottomans benefit from regular vacuuming to prevent dust build-up, with spot cleaning for any marks or spills. Leather and faux leather ottomans can be wiped down with a gentle cleaner to keep them looking their best. For high-traffic areas or homes with pets, look out for ottomans with water-repellent or easy-clean upholstery - several options in our range are specifically designed with this in mind. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions to protect the material long-term.
