Just a few touch-ups and add-ons can make an ottoman the most stylish and captivating addition. Being used as a footstool, extra seat, or an additional surface for serving, an ottoman can definitely be a bit difficult to style. We have rounded up some useful tips to elevate and style all kinds of ottomans.
Add an unexpected pop of color and shape with an ottoman:
One of the most functional yet challenging pieces to style remains a stool ottoman. The ottoman is constantly moving around the space for storing, seating, or serving. While nothing can be placed on the stool, a great idea remains to play with its design. Ottomans can be a great way to add interesting patterns, colors, and textures to a space. For a minimalistic space, an ottoman can adorn rich textures to add visual interest. The sleek finish of a leather ottoman, the silky smooth textures of velvet, or even the breezy appeal of jute can be a great way to introduce rich textures to the space.
Floral motifs and oversized geometric patterns, can all be a great way to make an ottoman stand out. If you are willing to make an utterly bold design statement, then choose an ottoman with colors and shapes that contrast with the rest of the space. This works particularly well in children’s rooms where a kid’s stool ottoman can be the most effective way to add a pop of colors and patterns to the space. Consider the color, shape, and texture of an ottoman to make it an appealing statement piece.
