1. What’s the difference between a footstool, ottoman and pouffe?

These terms are often interchangeable among manufacturers, however sometimes an ottoman refers to a large, firm footstool which can also serve as a coffee table. Pouffes, on the other hand, may be smaller, less substantial, and easier to move around as needed. This isn’t always the case though, so do remember to double check the details and dimensions before you purchase.

2. How do I choose the right size footstool?

For maximum comfort, your footstool should be a similar height to the seat of your sofa or chair. Spacious corner sofas or modular designs can accommodate a larger ottoman, while smaller spaces will be better suited to a compact footstool that can be tucked away neatly when not in use.

You should ensure you leave enough space in the room to move around and avoid it feeling cluttered. Take a look at our ”Will It Fit?” guide to find out how to measure for furniture correctly, and ensure you have no issues on delivery day.

3. Do footstools offer storage?

Yes, many of our designs feature a lift-up lid with ample hidden storage inside, perfect for keeping blankets, DVDs or remotes tidily stowed away. Explore our storage footstools to find clever options that help keep your home clutter free, without compromising on style.

4. Can a footstool be used as extra seating or a coffee table?

Larger, firm-topped ottomans can often double up as a stylish table with the addition of a tray, making them a fantastic multifunctional piece. In a pinch, certain models can be used as an extra seat for guests, but always check the care instructions provided as your footstool may only be designed to hold a maximum weight.

5. What materials are footstools available in?

You’ll find footstools in a variety of fabrics and finishes, from soft boucle and plush velvet to easy-care weaves and luxurious leathers. To complete the look, many designs are available in matching fabrics to our sofas and armchairs, helping you create a coordinated living room.

6. How do I match a footstool to my existing furniture?

Consider matching your footstool to the design of your sofa, choosing a fabric in the same colour family or selecting a contrasting texture or pattern for added depth. Features like turned wooden feet, metallic details and quilted upholstery can all help tie your footstool into your wider living room furniture scheme.

7. How do I care for my footstool?

Caring for your footstool will generally follow the same routine as caring for your chair or sofa, depending on the materials used. Regular light vacuuming helps keep fabric footstools looking fresh, while spills should be mopped up immediately as per the care label instructions. Check out our complete furniture care guides for more information. And for peace of mind, you may wish to add a furniture protection plan so you’re covered against any accidental damage.
