Ottoman Living Room Furniture

Ottomans are versatile furniture pieces serving as footrests, extra seating, or storage solutions. These multifunctional items range from compact poufs to large upholstered ottomans, enhancing living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways throughout Canadian homes.

Storage Ottomans and Benches

Storage ottomans are great for small spaces since they include lift-top sections that hide things and give you a place to sit or put your feet up. Round storage ottomans can fit next to armchairs and sofas, while square storage ottomans have structural profiles that work with a variety of room layouts. Ottoman benches with storage are great for the foot of a bed or in an entryway where you need to keep shoes, blankets, and other things organized.

Traditional upholstered ottomans don't have any storage space, therefore they focus on comfort and looks instead.

Leather Ottomans

Leather ottomans are strong and easy to clean, which is great for homes with kids or dogs. Brown leather ottomans go well with traditional decor, black leather ottomans go well with modern decor, and white leather ottomans make modern spaces look brighter. Faux leather ottomans are a cheaper option that looks just as good.

Fabric Ottomans

Fabric ottomans come in a wide range of colors and textures. Boucle fabric makes surfaces feel rough, velvet adds luxury, and linen makes things look more informal but still classy. When choosing colors, think about the colors that are already in the room. Grey ottomans go with a lot of different colors, blue ottomans give personality, and beige ottomans make a good base color.

Ottoman Shapes and Sizes

Shape and size directly impact placement success and functionality:

• Round ottomans: curved profiles prevent shin bumps and soften room corners, fitting well beside reading chairs
• Square ottomans: geometric forms provide structured looks and fit neatly into planned spaces
• Ottoman benches: elongated designs maximize seating capacity at bed footboards, hallways, or entryways
• Large ottomans: substantial pieces anchor seating areas as focal points
• Small ottomans: compact designs tuck into corners or slide under consoles when not needed

Ottoman Height Considerations

The right height makes it easy to operate. Choose ottomans that are the same height as or 2 to 3 inches below the height of the sofa seat, which is usually 16 to 18 inches. This position lets you stretch your legs comfortably without putting too much stress on your knees or ankles.
