Top 3 Ottoman Ideas For Inspiration
An ottoman is a stylish and functional item which can look great in your home. Like chaise lounge chairs, ottomans can add comfort, extra seating,and so much more to your living room space. We've listed the top 3 ottoman ideas to get you inspired.
Choosing an ottoman
When choosing an ottoman consider your existing furniture. The colour palette of the room, and the type of fabrics used. An ottoman can add a splash of colour to an area. For example, if you have a main colour palette of black, grey and white, a red ottoman can add a touch of colour. Similarly, you may want to choose an ottoman upholstered in a decorative pattern.
Ottomans come in many shapes and sizes. You will want to consider what you are going to be using the ottoman for when making your purchase. If there is a possibility that you want to use it as extra seating in a room you will want to purchase a firm, square shaped ottoman. A round ottoman is best for using as a foot rest.
Putting your ottoman to good use
There are many ways to use your ottoman. Once again, this will depend on the style you purchase. A firm ottoman can make a great coffee table, especially if you are low on space. They are also not as large as a traditional coffee tables so this can be a great advantage when decorating a small space.
Ottomans are also great to use as a foot rest. If you buy a soft, round ottoman, you'll never want to leave you chair! Great after a long day at work, or relaxing in front of a fire in winter.
There's nothing worse than having a group of people over and not having enough seating. An ottoman can make a great extra seat. Just make sure you buy one that is firm and preferably square in shape.
The ottoman as a decorative, functional item
As we have already discussed, the ottoman has so many uses, but there is still one more to mention. Some ottomans double as small storage units so that you can put magazines or anything you like inside. Of course they can be used as a seat or foot rest, but they also have the added function of doubling as a storage unit. These ottomans are completely lined inside and perfect for those who don't like to leave books, tissues or other items in the living room.
The storage ottoman is also a great addition to the bedroom and can be use as a hidden laundry basket. It is great to rest your morning coffee or favourite book and best of all it hides of all of your washing in a stylish, neat little unit.
Whether your in the market for discount living room furniture or a few extra pieces to decorate your existing living room furniture an ottoman is sure to make a welcome addition to your home.

Glider chair vs. Regular chair and Ottoman?
I am wanting a large stuffed chair and ottoman that glides, but they all seem to cost 600 or more for the set. I have all black baby furniture and none of the traditional glider rockers match. Would it be a bad Idea to put a regular stuffed chair and ottoman in the nursery (found one that matches the nursery at target for less than 300) or will I regret not having the rocking/gliding chair. Or is it really just having a nice chair that matters. Or would a recliner that rocks be the way to go? I have a recliner and a slip cover for 60 dollars would be all I'd need to match it to the room. Advice from the experts.
I'd slipcover the chair you have. I have a glider and ottoman, and it's nice, but not nicer than a good cozy recliner.
Do make a washable slipcover so you can take it off and wash it when it gets messy.

Not Just for Feet: Alternative Uses for Ottomans
The ottoman has become an extremely popular piece of furniture to include in many living rooms, family rooms, game rooms and dens. Many ottomans are purchased to match a specific chair or couch that is part of your room’s other furnishings. Ottomans can make spending time with your feet up much more enjoyable, but ottomans are not just for feet! Learn about the different ways you can use ottomans in the living areas of your house as a fun and functional piece of furniture.
First, remember that ottoman usage should not be restricted to just one particular area of your home. If you have seating areas in your master bedroom or in guest rooms, these can also be the perfect place to include an ottoman. Similarly, one good turn deserves another: you can certainly include more than one ottoman in a living area, or include ottomans in multiple living areas within your home. Ottomans add to your overall décor not just in how many are used and coordinated with your other furniture but how your room designs allow for their use and display.
Next, stop thinking of an ottoman as simply a box with a piece of cushioning on top where you can rest your feet. The base of the ottoman can be used for storage. Many furniture companies have begun producing ottomans that double as living area storage spaces. Think about how many different items you might want to store or hide away in your living room. Books, CD’s, movies and games need a place to be stored when they are not being used. Instead of relegating these items to a closet or attic, or in a pile because you have no other options, consider using a storage ottoman to store them away neatly and tidily and with no fuss. You can find storage ottomans in a variety of sizes and designs to make them perfect for all of your storage needs. In addition, some storage ottomans have built-in organization centers inside, so that you can easily line up everything that will be stored, instead of creating just a random pile of stuff.
Also, consider the design of an ottoman. It is a box with a piece of cushioning on top. Okay – what other piece of furniture does that sound like? A chair! Do you need extra seating areas in your living room? An ottoman can double as a chair in many situations. If it is comfortable enough to rest your feet on, it is surely comfortable enough to sit on. In fact, some new and innovative designs for living areas include modular furniture that are simply various ottomans arranged for seating spaces. In other words, you can abandon your typical family room furniture and simply use a variety of ottomans to create a cozy, warm and inviting space in which to spend time with your family and friends.
The living room is used for many other activities besides watching TV. Many times, the people in your household settle in a living room to eat, do homework or work on a laptop. All of these activities could use your ottoman to become that much easier to undertake. For instance, an ottoman can double as a portable table to balance your plates on as you eat dinner. You may even be able to find a special hard-topped cover to go over your ottoman so that you can safely balance plates without the risking of spillage (some ottomans come with reversible lids, where one side is padded and the other is a solid tray to use as a table). For laptops and homework, you can use ottomans in a similar fashion. Whether you are sitting on your couch or on the floor, you can use your ottoman to prop up your work. Although some people prefer to complete each of these activities in other rooms, working and eating in your living area can give you and your family an added opportunity to spend time together while accomplishing other activities.
The ottoman is truly a multifunctional piece of furniture. By remembering that it is not simply a cushioned box where you can rest your feet, you can best take advantage of its convenience and use it to make a variety of common activities that much easier to accomplish. From game table to party central, ottomans add both storage and seating space as well as the perfect place to lounge around in comfort. And they can be an inexpensive way to add a touch of color to the room or complete your décor in a particular style. Any shape, size or color you can imagine, you can find an ottoman to match.
