Ottoman Style Guide
Often an overlooked piece of furniture. The ottoman can have a large effect on the comfort of your living room and how it looks. With an endless array of material, color, and feature combinations ottomans are a designer's playground. For instance, you can pick up an ottoman coffee table that can double as a footrest and a place to put your drinks in your living room. Or you can find a storage ottoman to make it simple to keep what you need close by. Even though that may sound complex, it's actually quite easy if you know a little bit about them. So check out these tips to learn how to design your living room.
The material of your ottoman changes its comfortability and the aesthetic it brings to your living room. For a luxurious look that fits well with an industrial look, dark leather is a great choice. A leather ottoman is a classic choice that has a chic, elegant feel. Leather ottomans can come in any color ranging from dark brown to white, so no matter the color theme of your room you can find something that leather can blend with. Interested in a traditional design? Then a cotton or polyester material can work. They are the most popular materials for ottomans and they can add another dimension to a simple layout by adding texture to your living room. If your interest is mostly towards comfort instead of look, then microfiber is the material for you. Microfiber is a fine synthetic fiber made from yarn that is softer than cotton. The fine material makes it exceptionally comfortable while being stylish at the same time.
The shape and build of an ottoman can change depending on the type. One of the most common types of ottomans are round ottomans. The circular shape makes it easy to put your feet up anywhere around the ottoman so you can sit back and relax. On top of round ottomans, you can find other shapes to fit your interior design as well. They can come in oval to rectangle to novelty shapes. It could be a large ottoman in the shape of a flower or half-moon or a cylinder. It all depends what you want so have fun with it. If you were interested in a pouf ottoman the shape is more fluid. You can find spherical pouf ottomans or cube shape ones and they decompress when sat on or when you put your feet up. Perfect for rooms with an amusing feel and atmosphere.
Want an ottoman for more than putting your feet up? If you want, you can find ottomans with a variety of different features. For people who want to be organized a storage ottoman is a good choice. A storage ottoman is helpful because it makes it easy to access magazines or TV remotes that you want close by in your living room. If you want a glam design nail head trim is a nice touch to add. The nail heads can come in different colors and they add a metallic texture to an otherwise upholstered piece of furniture, which gives it a unique look. Eco-friendly ottomans are available so you can buy an ottoman and help the planet at the same time.
