What makes a good ottoman?

Either plain and practical, or classy and chic? Ottomans never go out of style. They appear in the form of fine storage benches and stools, resting your feet, relaxing your body while offering hidden space with various shapes.

Covering a wooden or metal base or frame with thick fabric, sometimes reinforced with solid seams, is the most adopted method of making ottomans. For example, some stool ottomans mount on solid base or legs assuring stability and support, such as round or square storage stools, and storage tray stool products; some with funky and fun designs, in cubic, rectangular, oval, or round shape, stand on slim, yet steady metal feet, such as square storage benches or stools, or oval storage benches or stools with metal legs, all of which are available at Housetex.

We also pay special attention to the frame. An ottoman frame decides the structural integrity of the ottoman and whether it is able to sustain the designated weight. Our unique designs assure the light-weight-ness of our ottoman products while at the same time providing ample storage capacity securely without any defect. Weighing lightly, you can move our storage stool or bench ottoman products from the entryway to the living room to the bedroom as needed.

Further, when we discuss some ottoman frames that are made of wood or metal, please note metal is cost-effective and extremely durable. But in some designers’ eyes, it lacks in aesthetics and is more suitable for contemporary interiors. For some people, solid wood multi-functional furniture remains popular, because it brings a natural touch and blends well with just about any type of décor.

Come to upholstery materials, there are various fabrics, colors, and finishes to select. Please consider the type of use that your storage ottomans, either benches or stools, will be designed for. The right textures can bring unique patterns, creative color, or adorable sophistication. Our most popular materials include but not limited to the following:

Cotton & Poly Blends – Cotton, blended with polyester or other fabrics, will give you many different appearances. What we are familiar with are linen, tweed, or velvet. These blends are durable and easy to work with, as we can add pleats, buttons, or side ornamentation at your needs. One of our favorite storage ottoman benches features velvet upholstery for more comfort and durability, available in round, cylindrical, cubic, square, or rectangular shape. Their soft blue or greyish pink color matches any modern design, bringing a gentle and elegant setup.

Leather / Faux Leather – Leather or faux leather has a stately look, usually reinforced with nailheads, suitable for traditional, contemporary, or transitional decors. Some also come with creative stitching. A bonded leather ottoman bench will suit a modern décor with a luxurious feel, evoking class. Further, leather storage ottomans can serve as a smooth corridor or entryway bench as it is easy to clean with a mere dry cloth.

Faux or Fake Fur – Long strands of faux or fake fur are fun. Housetex offers a metal leg stool using fake fur products which is perfect for a girl’s bedroom or dressing room. It currently has a white color, but more bright colors at your requests also can be arranged on a customized basis. We believe these pieces with fuzzy fur make great unique ottoman stools that can ignite the space in joy and give the comfort of warmth in family rooms and bedrooms.

Wool Yarn – Ottomans that have a crocheted or knitted exterior will bring warm coziness to a house. Under this category, Housetex offers a round stool ottoman with pinewood legs. Its gentle pink wool yarn gives a soothing homely look. These little beauties can be placed anywhere as you like.

Last but not the least, fabric-covered ottomans offer the greatest versatility. If you are looking for something for a busy family with kids, we are sure you would prefer a durable material or fabric that won’t fray or tear, and is easy to clean and forgiving on stains. In this case, we suggest microfiber, olefin, polyester, or nylon blends, which are washable and ideal for everyday use. Many of such types of upholstery fabric can be cleaned and washed easily, making them the right choice for family homes or people who love to entertain.

As you can see, the texture and tone of the ottoman define how the piece will blend in and function in the real world. We hope our understanding of material quality and fabric care can facilitate you in making your booking decision.
