How To Choose The Right Footstool Or Pouffe
Choosing the perfect footstool depends on how you plan to use it.
If you simply want somewhere comfortable to rest your feet, an upholstered footstool provides excellent support and comfort. If storage is a priority, choose a storage ottoman with a lift-up lid to keep blankets, cushions, games, and everyday essentials neatly tucked away.
For smaller rooms, a lightweight pouffe offers flexible seating that can easily be moved wherever it's needed. Larger ottomans are ideal for spacious living rooms, where they can also double as coffee tables or central statement pieces.
Consider your existing furniture, colour palette, and available floor space to find a design that complements your home perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a footstool, a pouffe, and an ottoman?
A footstool is typically designed as a raised platform for resting your feet while relaxing. A pouffe is a softer, fully upholstered piece that can be used as a footrest or occasional seating. An ottoman is generally larger and often includes hidden storage, making it suitable as seating, a coffee table, or additional storage.
What is the best footstool for a living room?
The best footstool depends on your needs. Upholstered footstools are ideal for comfort, storage ottomans offer practical hidden storage, and pouffes provide flexible extra seating while adding style to your living room.
Can a pouffe be used as extra seating?
Yes. Pouffes and ottomans make excellent occasional seating for guests while remaining lightweight enough to move around your home whenever needed.
Do your footstools include storage?
Many of our storage footstools and ottomans feature spacious hidden compartments beneath a lift-up lid, perfect for storing blankets, cushions, remotes, books, magazines, and children's toys.
Can I use an ottoman as a coffee table?
Absolutely. Many ottomans have firm, flat tops that work perfectly with a decorative tray, creating a practical and stylish alternative to a traditional coffee table.
Will a footstool match my existing sofa?
Our collection includes a wide range of colours, fabrics, and finishes designed to complement both modern and traditional furniture, making it easy to find a suitable match.
