TIPS & TRICKS // HOW TO STYLE OTTOMANS

A multi-purpose masterpiece that’s always in season, an ottoman can put the finishing touches on any space. Polished yet functional, ottomans may come in a range of shapes, sizes, and materials, but all of them make a statement. From coffee table ottomans, to storage ottomans, rectangular ottomans, and extra seating ottomans, the options are endless when it comes to styling. We’ve put together a few need-to-know tips to consider when styling your ottoman.
1. Think outside the living room

Ottomans can work seamlessly in any room of your home, adding a bit of extra seating to your office or resting elegantly at the foot of your bed. Don’t be boxed into a specific room of the house. Go exploring. It’ll be worth it.
2. Play with shapes and sizes

There is no one size fits all when it comes to ottomans. Tall, round ottomans make for a perfect side table. More traditional, small square ottomans are ideal as a comfy footrest or extra seating. Large, round ottomans double as roomy coffee tables - when in doubt, go for a set of two for a statement centerpiece.
3. Experiment with color

Honey. Burgundy. Forest. Midnight. Olive. As much as we love natural leather, there are so many shades to choose from. Mix and match, go monochrome, or add a pop of color in just the right place with nubuck ottomans.
4. Mix up your materials

Make a statement with the right materials. Add a luxe accent with understated boucle. Style your space with buttery-soft leather ottomans or luxe nubuck ottomans that’s softer than suede. Bring the beauty of nature inside with wicker ottomans or rattan ottomans. The mix of materials and textures bring an organic, dynamic feel to any space.
5. Say yes to storage

Everyone needs a little extra space. Storage ottomans give you a dedicated space to store cozy throws, magazines, remote controls, or those toys that are particularly unsightly. When you’re done, just pop the lid back on and no one’s the wiser.
6. Blend form and function

More than decoration, ottomans can be part of your everyday. Place a tray of cocktails on a coffee table ottoman when company comes over. Pull out a
round ottoman for a spot of extra seating.
7. As always, accessorize

Ottomans should feel like an effortless addition to any space. Place a few magazines on a round ottoman. Toss a soft blanket over one of our storage ottomans or add a tray to a larger piece. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works for you.

Don't have an ottoman? We can fix that.
