Stylish Ottoman 01

An ottoman is an incredibly versatile piece of furniture which can add a touch of style and comfort to any room in your home or office. Not only are ottomans decorative and stylish pieces of furniture, but they also serve multiple functions.

One of the most popular types of ottomans is the tufted ottoman. Tufted ottomans look like they are "upholstered," but the fabric is actually drawn through the frame and stitched in place, giving them a unique, classic style. Tufting is an upholstery technique that involves folding and pulling the upholstery fabric to create small indentations and accents. This creates a unique, ornamental feel to these ottomans that is both eye-catching and comfortable.

Tufted ottomans are available in a variety of colors, styles and fabrics. From traditional leather to contemporary velvet and from different colors to stylish geometric patterning, tufted ottomans come in an array of looks. When selecting the right ottoman, think about the aesthetic and the function you are hoping to accomplish in the space.

Depending on the style and size of your ottoman, and the space you are working with, ottomans can be used in a variety of ways. A large, tufted ottoman is ideal for creating an additional space to sit, lounge or even kick up your feet. A mid-sized ottoman can work as a coffee table to place your drink on or a footrest when you are sitting in a chair. Smaller ottomans can even double as side tables or decorative pieces.

Tufted ottomans also work perfectly for additional storage. Depending on the size and model you select, you can store anything from pillows and blankets to books and gaming consoles. Ottomans with storage typically have a lid which is easily opened and closed, giving your home or office more discreet storage.

When caring for your tufted ottoman, light dusting and spot cleaning is recommended. If your ottoman starts to look dull or has particular stains, it can be vacuumed clean or spot cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent.

Tufted ottomans can bring both luxury and practicality to your home or office. Whether you are looking for a signature piece of furniture or extra storage, the tufted ottoman is truly the best of both worlds. It can be used almost anywhere to instantly add a bit of pizzazz to your living space.
