Ottomans

Ottoman storage buyer’s guide

Available in our huge range of fabrics, including plains and patterns, our ottoman storage designs will add the extra storage you need for your bedroom in style. Our ottoman storage comes in a range of sizes and designs, including a small version that’s 49cm wide and could be placed at the end of a single bed, or as part of a matching pair at the end of a double or larger sized bed. We also have ottomans in widths of 87cm and 130cm which could be located at the end of a bed, or positioned along a wall. Upholstered ottomans can introduce subtle or bold colour, or an injection of pattern to a bedroom scheme. They’re a handy perch when you’re getting dressed, and a place to lay out clothes for the day, or a special evening out. Inside, they offer generous hidden storage beneath the lid. Use them to put away spare bed linen, store out of season clothes, or even hide essential paperwork that would spoil the lines of your room but needs to be kept safe.

Choosing the style of an ottoman

Our storage ottomans are available as upholstered designs with beech wood legs that can be painted or stained in our range of lovely colourways. They look luxurious and add another layer of comfort and softness to your room. We also offer empire ottomans, which can have a deep buttoned or shallow buttoned lid, or a plain upholstered lid. These empire designs have a sleeker finish and a smart tailored look. Whichever design you opt for, you can finish your design with the fabric you love, selecting from our extensive collection of fabrics from the leading fabric houses, or sending in your own fabric for us to use. Although our ottomans come in standard sizes, we can create custom sizes, too, to create exactly the storage you need. 


Ottoman storage around your home

Ottomans are ideal for a bedroom – including children’s rooms, where they’ll hide away toys so you can clear the floor in double quick time at the end of the day. Don’t just think of adding them to bedrooms, though. Ottomans can be a useful addition to living spaces as well. They’re handy as casual extra seating, can be used as a side table if you position a tray on top, and they boost storage in the space as well. Think about adding one to a hallway as well to introduce colour and pattern at the same time as bringing in hidden storage. Our ottoman designs also include small or large versions with space for hanging files inside, so you can keep paperwork hidden away in a decorative piece of furniture that doesn’t betray its contents.

Alternatives to ottoman storage

If you like the idea of a seat at the end of the bed, but don’t need extra storage in your room, our Louis seat is a classically elegant bench for this location. Alternatively, go for the Tuvan upholstered bench with its sophisticated button top. Like the idea of more hidden storage in the bedroom? Opt for a top-opening window bench or front-opening bench seat, which both add a place to sit and relax in the bedroom while offering capacious storage inside. Ideal for small spaces anywhere around your home are our cubes with storage, which have a lift-off lid with space inside and an upholstered finish. You can also make use of dead space under the bed with our storage drawers.They’re on castors so can be rolled in and out of position and will hold bed linen or toys in kids’ rooms.
