Adding an ottoman to your living space can be a game-changer, offering both style and functionality. Whether you want to make a statement or just need a versatile piece of furniture, ottomans can seamlessly fit into any room and decor style. Here are seven surprising ways to elevate your home decor using an ottoman.
Why Choose an Ottoman?
Before diving into the creative uses, let's explore why ottomans are a great choice for your home. Ottomans are not just for putting your feet up. They are multi-functional pieces that can serve as extra seating, storage solutions, and even as decorative elements. Their versatility makes them perfect for any room, whether it's the living room, bedroom, or even the bathroom.
1. Transform Your Living Room
The Perfect Coffee Table Alternative
An ottoman can be a stylish and practical alternative to a traditional coffee table. Opt for a large, sturdy ottoman and place a decorative tray on top. This setup provides a stable surface for drinks, books, or decorative items while maintaining a cozy and relaxed atmosphere.
Extra Seating for Guests
Hosting a gathering and short on seating? An ottoman can easily be pulled into the seating arrangement, offering a comfortable spot for guests. Choose an ottoman with a soft, cushioned top to ensure it is as inviting as it is functional.
2. Bedroom Bliss
A Stylish Bed-End Bench
Place a long, upholstered ottoman at the foot of your bed. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your bedroom but also provides a practical spot to sit while putting on shoes or to lay out your outfit for the next day.
Hidden Storage Solution
Opt for an ottoman with hidden storage to keep your bedroom clutter-free. Store extra blankets, pillows, or out-of-season clothing inside the ottoman to maximise your space without compromising on style.
3. Entryway Elegance
A Welcoming Seat
An ottoman in the entryway can serve as a convenient spot to sit while putting on or taking off shoes. It also creates a welcoming atmosphere for guests entering your home. Pair it with a small side table or a coat rack for a functional and stylish setup.
Organisational Aid
Choose an ottoman with built-in storage to keep your entryway tidy. Use it to store umbrellas, scarves, or any other items you need as you head out the door. This keeps everything within reach while maintaining a neat and organised space.
4. Dining Room Versatility
Substitute for Chairs
Incorporate ottomans as a stylish alternative to dining chairs. This approach works particularly well with round or square dining tables. Ottomans can add a touch of sophistication and comfort to your dining area, making meals feel more relaxed and intimate.
Space-Saving Marvel
Ottomans are perfect for small dining areas where space is at a premium. When not in use, they can be tucked under the table to free up floor space, making the room feel larger and more open.
5. Bathroom Comfort
Luxurious Vanity Seat
An ottoman can serve as a luxurious seat at your bathroom vanity. Choose a water-resistant fabric or material to ensure durability in the humid environment. This adds a touch of elegance and comfort to your daily grooming routine.
Handy Storage Spot
In bathrooms, storage is often limited. Use an ottoman with storage to keep extra towels, toiletries, or cleaning supplies hidden but easily accessible. This helps maintain a clean and uncluttered look.
6. Playroom Perfection
Soft Play Area
Ottomans are great for kids' playrooms as they provide a soft and safe surface for play. They can also double as seats for storytime or as makeshift tables for board games and puzzles.
Toy Storage
Choose an ottoman with ample storage space to keep toys organized and out of sight. This helps maintain a tidy playroom while making it easy for children to access their favourite toys.
7. Outdoor Oasis
Patio Seating
Bring the comfort of your indoor living space to the outdoors with weather-resistant ottomans. They can provide extra seating or serve as footrests for your patio furniture. Choose vibrant colours or patterns to add a playful touch to your outdoor decor.
Convenient Storage
Outdoor ottomans with storage are perfect for stashing cushions, blankets, or outdoor toys. This keeps your patio neat and ensures that everything is protected from the elements when not in use.
