Ottomans

An ottoman is an upholstered low seat or cushioned footstool. Ottomans have become versatile pieces of furniture in today's homes. Storage ottomans have seats that are hinged and lift up to expose storage space, maximizing what would otherwise be unused. Furniture ottomans are also being used as coffee table ottomans serving double duty as extra seating and as a table to hold drinks, snacks and remotes. Leather ottomans are perhaps a more informal and casual piece whereas an upholstered ottoman may be better suited to a formal living room depending upon the upholstery. Round ottomans, cube ottomans and bench ottomans are just some of the varieties available for the home today.
