Creative Ways To Incorporate Ottomans Into Your Home

Lavender Hill Interiors Natural Linen with Oak Frame Bed Ottoman

Ottomans are a versatile piece of furniture that you can put almost anywhere in your home. Check out the creative ways our customers are using ottomans in their home. 

Use it as a coffee table

If you want a unique coffee table, use a tufted ottoman and if your space is limited try one of our foot stools. They’re plush and sumptuous, and you can still style them with different accessories if you add a tray, some coffee table books and a vase of blooms.

Similarly, a smaller ottoman can be used as a side table.  If you use an ottoman as a table when you’re entertaining, it can pull double-duty as an additional space for seating as needed.

Use as a classic foot stool

Of course, one of the primary ways to use any ottoman is as a footstool

We love the idea of a footstool with an armchair. It can be a good way to create a comfortable seating arrangement for entertaining or a cosy reading nook.

Consider it useful in a walk in robe

In your walk in wardrobe or dressing area, you can use an ottoman as functional seating while you’re getting ready. You can also use it in front of a mirror as a vanity area.

The perfect storage box


Who isn’t looking for more storage opportunities in their home?  Think about choosing an blanket box ottoman with built-in storage for newspapers, magazines, or maybe throw blankets.

Use as extra seating

To add some style, comfort, and functionality to your entry, below a feature window or to dress up a blank wall,  use an ottoman as a bench seat.
