Ottomans are the understated little pieces that can transform any room. Also known as a tuffet or pouf, this type of couch is perfect for use as a seat, footstool, or alternative to a sofa. It dates back to the Ottoman Empire and has long since been a universally-loved furniture piece.

To help you decide on the ottoman of your dreams, take a read through this guide on the different types and styles of ottomans.

Standard Ottoman

The standard ottoman is ideal for a classically comfortable living room. This style is great for extra seating at the dining table or by the sofa. For ease of mobility, consider castors or a lightweight piece. Square ottomans are easy to maneuver and match well with any sofa.

Round ottomans are also highly versatile and fit easily into all different spaces. For a fashionable statement piece, look no further than the La-Z-Boy Ottoman 24225, which features an interlacing gold pattern for maximum chic.

Cocktail or Coffee Table Ottoman

Convenience is a given with the cocktail or coffee table ottoman. This ottoman style has a firmer surface, perfect for placing objects on top like magazines, books, decorative trays, comfy throws, and more. When picking out a cocktail ottoman, prioritize styles that are easy to clean, like ones with dark colors and lightweight fabrics. Consider the MARQ Willow 28in Round Ottoman 799-3000-28, which features jazzy red and pink stripes.

Storage Ottoman

Are you running out of room? Go for a storage ottoman, and you’ll find that you can tuck away items and de-clutter rooms in no time. This style is perfect for storing blankets, remote controls, and anything you need within easy access. It’s highly practical and useful for conserving space in tight environments. An ottoman with a hinged-top will seem like any other ottoman, but with the perk of a hidden compartment. The American Leather Ottoman CSN-STO-ST will make a sunny addition to your home.

Pouffe or Tufted Ottoman

If a style is high on your priority list, the pouf or tufted ottoman is for you. This style is more ornamental and will typically have softer fabrics like velvet and suede along with a puffed surface. It’s an easy way to add aesthetic appeal and interest to any space.
