In the world of interior design, Ottoman’s are becoming must-have pieces and for good reasons. With a bit of creative flair, you can transform your modest room or office into the most stylish and comfortable space for lounging, relaxation and working without sacrificing floor space. Here is a look at the reasons that make ottoman’s absolute must-haves in your space.
Reasons to buy Ottomans
Additional Compact Seating Space
Ottomans are a great way to customize a sectional layout and create a deeper seating arrangement without taking up too much floorspace. They are the best alternative to armchairs for people who want to create additional seating space especially in small rooms.
For example, you can use a standard ottoman in front of an armless unit to create a chaise lounge look or attach a modular ottoman to a sectional unit to create an open layout. Alternatively, you can sandwich an ottoman between two different sofas for playful accenting and to also create a feeling of togetherness.
Handy Storage
Some ottomans are built to function as storage compartments, too; this way, you don’t have to dread organizing and cleaning up your space after your kids or a session of entertainment. You can simply collect any scattered toys and items such as remote controls, blankets, wine glasses, socks and place them in the ottoman for convenient storage leaving your space looking spick and span.
Coffee Table
Apart from serving as storage compartments, you can use your ottomans as a coffee table, allowing you to maximize the use of your lounge for entertaining and relaxation. You just need to watch out for spills. Choose ottomans with fabric that’s resistant to stains and removable for regular cleaning.
Creating a Deeper Seating Arrangement
Thanks to their small and compact nature, ottomans are easy to move allowing one to get creative in the way they want to position them for a deeper seating arrangement. For example, if you have an armless unit, you can position an ottoman in front for a chaise lounge look allowing you to recline and enjoy a movie, book or catch some zzz’s.
On the other hand, if you have a 3-seater sofa, you can position the ottoman at the end to create a makeshift L-seating and lounging space. You can use the extra section to hold your books, electronics, drinks or even prop your feet for comfort.
Adding a Cute Accent to an Interior Space
Ottoman fabrics come in various textures and colors, making them advantageous for those with a penchant for style and elegance. Some even have removable fabric, allowing for easy switching between looks and also regular cleaning.
Depending on your existing decor, you can experiment with fabrics of different textures, colors, and patterns to emphasize harmony or switch from dullness to energetic and playful tones.
Can be Used in Various Spaces
Apart from using ottomans in your living room, you can also use these pieces of furniture in your bedroom as a comfortable sitting place for grooming up in the morning or in front of your entryway to welcome visitors in style and elegance. An ottoman in your entryway is also great for catching a breather when you stumble home exhausted after a long day out.
Pet and Kid-friendly Design
If you are about your kids or pets bumping onto pieces of furniture while they play or navigate about the room, ottomans are made with rounded corners and upholstered with thick padding and soft fabric for a family-friendly design overall.
