Ottomans and poufs serve as a perfect addition to family rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms as they serve two purposes. They can be decorative or utilitarian, and work best in spaces that call for comfortable surroundings. They are versatile in terms of fabric, style, size and color! Have fun with ottomans, but remember some simple rules when choosing the best luxury ottoman and poufs for your home.
Stick with your current aesthetic. Ottomans are accessories that function as low tables for a cocktail party or for unbeatable comfort in your bedroom. If you have a neutral furniture base in your family room or living room, choose an ottoman that offers a pop of color. This can be a fun way to add color that can double as storage.
Placement is very important once you choose an ottoman. There is no gray area when it comes to arranging an ottoman, as you want to either hide it beneath a table, place it at the edge of a bed or use it as the focal point of a space. Choose wisely and your ottoman will serve as a comfortable footrest, a place to sit at the edge of your bed or as a coffee table replacement.
When choosing the size of an ottoman take into account the height, shape and size. If you choose a square ottoman that is knee-high you will want to pair it with a matching ottoman. If the ottoman is lower and more rectangular it can serve as a coffee table so make sure it is sturdy enough to support coasters or a drink tray for guests.
Poufs, not to be confused with ottomans also serve as a decorative addition. They are a fun way to replace a sturdy chair in the bedroom. Poufs have a feminine touch, making one a perfect addition to a dressing table or vanity. Poufs add a soft and elegant aesthetic. If you’re having friends over for a night of wine and cheese plates take out two or three poufs for extra seating. Poufs double as a footrest as they are designed with comfort in mind.Play with fabric and textures! Ottomans come in a variety of styles ranging from contemporary and modern with great functionality or they serve as a focal point meant to replace a coffee table. Be creative with your choice in ottomans to bring an entirely different design concept to any space in your home.
