Often used as a footrest when coupled with a sofa or accent chair, ottomans are wonderfully cushioned seats that are most commonplace in living rooms. But when it was first created by the Turkish, they were typically used as seating and were piled high with cushions and even spanned the whole length of the room. Today, they can still be used as seating but are often designed as smaller pouffe-style seats. Ottoman designs can also be used as coffee-table substitutes, due to their flat but plush surfaces. And some kinds of ottoman furniture even come with a hinged lid that can be lifted up to reveal a storage space underneath. So you can stow away magazines, books and other miscellaneous items in there for a clutter-free environment.

Types of Ottomans Available On Urban Ladder

Ottomans come in so many different shapes, sizes, and configurations, enabling you to choose one that fits your aesthetic taste and decor perfectly. Another consideration to make before investing in ottoman furniture is the material. It's important to choose upholstery and a base that is easy to maintain, complementary to the rest of your furnishing and fits your seating preferences. We’ve compiled a list of options below to make your shopping process that much smoother.

• Wooden Ottoman

  
  An ottoman with a wooden base is the most sturdy of them all. And most designs are created with lighter woods or engineered wood too, making them easy to move around. If you invest in good-quality wooden ottomans, they are sure to last you very long too. To truly show off the rustic wooden base, opt for a design with exposed legs. And you can choose from a variety of finishes and colors too. For a richly dark design to complement farmhouse style decor, go for ottomans with polished walnut legs. But if you prefer an airier design for boho-chic interiors, a light beechwood with a weathered finish and light fabric upholstery is the perfect choice.

• Fabric Ottoman

  
  The most popular kind of upholstery for Ottomans has always been fabric, for good reason too. It’s cost-effective and easy to maintain, making them ideal for a family to use. And you can choose from an assortment of textiles, colors and patterns too. From white starched linen to multi-colored patterned cotton, the options are truly endless. Add in the comfort of a soft weave that's breathable and smooth on the skin, and you have a fabric ottoman built for lounging.

• Leatherette Ottoman

  
  Leatherette or synthetic leather is the cost-effective and animal-friendly version of the very popular animal hide. It’s often considered to be easier to maintain as well, as the material is waterproof and can simply be cleaned with a damp cloth when dirty. And of course the plush texture of a leatherette ottoman makes it the definition of luxury too.

• Living Room Ottomans

  
  The living room is incomplete without a cozy seating area, necessary for the whole family to gather in and to host the occasional guests. To add to the comfort factor, consider adding a living room ottoman as a footrest near a sofa or loveseat. They can act as extra seating too. And when not in use, they can easily be pushed into a corner to conserve space. They make for great coffee tables too. Especially if you don’t have the space for a full-size one. Make sure to buy one with a flat rectangular surface, as opposed to a textured or tufted top, if you plan on using one as a central table substitute. And as always, always take the rest of the living room furniture into account too. If your living room decor is primarily neutral colors and minimal furnishing, a brightly colored ottoman is sure to add a pop of color and visual interest ot the space.

Innovative Ways To Decorate Your Home With Ottomans

There are a number of ways to zhuzh up your home decor with ottomans. Since most ottomans have a flat surface, a number of decorative objects can be placed and displayed on them.

Small sculptures, cultural artifacts from your travels and stacks of coffee table books can also be great additions to your ottoman.
