  • Storage Footstools – Lift the lid to reveal a roomy compartment for blankets, cushions and remotes, then use the top as a footrest, seat or impromptu coffee table. Available in fabric, faux leather and velvet across a wide range of colours.
  • Large Footstools – Over 100cm wide models that double as coffee tables. A generous padded surface ideal for stretching out or placing a tray. Cube, rectangular and circular formats in leather, fabric and velvet.
  • Fabric & Velvet Footstools – Most popular choice for living rooms. Woven, chenille, boucle and velvet finishes — all stain-treated for everyday care. Pair well with both fabric and leather sofas.

Tip: A footstool used as a coffee table should be topped with a rigid tray — a flat tray gives drinks and remotes a stable surface that an upholstered top cannot. Choose a tray approximately 50–60% of the footstool width for the best visual proportion.

FAQs on Footstools & Foot Stools

What's the difference between a footstool and an ottoman?

Footstools are typically smaller, compact pieces designed primarily for resting feet. Ottomans are usually larger, often rectangular, and frequently include storage with a lift-off lid. In modern usage, storage footstools and large cube designs are often called ottomans. Both serve similar functions but ottomans offer more versatility and storage capacity.

For a single armchair, a compact 40–50cm square footstool works well. For two or three-seater sofas, choose 60–90cm wide. For coffee table use, select 90–120cm rectangular models. Match the footstool height to your sofa seat height—typically 40–45cm—to ensure comfortable foot placement and proportional aesthetics.

Yes, large rectangular or cube footstools make excellent coffee table alternatives. Place a sturdy rectangular tray on top for drinks and books. They're safer than glass tables for homes with children, offer extra seating for guests, and provide a padded surface for relaxing. Choose firm, well-padded designs with flat tops.

Leather and faux leather offer durability and easy cleaning, ideal for families. Upholstered fabric provides comfort and style variety but requires more care. Wood frames ensure longevity. Foam or polyester filling delivers cushioning comfort. Choose based on your lifestyle: leather for easy maintenance, fabric for softness, or mixed materials for balance between durability and comfort.

Position your footstool at a 90-degree angle or directly in front of your sofa for comfort. Pair neutral-coloured footstools with patterned sofas or vice versa. Layer a throw or cushion for added texture. Use as a coffee table with a tray for functionality. Ensure it complements your sofa's style—modern, traditional, or eclectic—for cohesive room design.

Yes, compact 40–50cm footstools are ideal for small rooms as they provide function without bulk. Choose round or square designs to maximise floor space. Storage footstools reduce clutter by hiding blankets and magazines. Avoid oversized rectangular models. A well-chosen footstool adds seating and style while occupying minimal floor area in tight living spaces.

Vacuum regularly to remove dust and debris. Spot-clean spills immediately with appropriate cleaners—use leather cleaner for leather, mild soap for fabric. Rotate cushions regularly to ensure even wear. Follow manufacturer care instructions for specific materials. Protect fabric with stain guards. Professional cleaning annually extends lifespan and keeps your footstool looking fresh.

Check height matches your sofa seat (typically 40–45cm). Consider material durability for your lifestyle. Assess whether you need storage. Choose a size that fits your space proportionally—40–90cm depending on sofa size. Look for firm padding and quality stitching. Consider style compatibility with existing furniture. Verify weight capacity if using for seating or storage.

Yes, footstools work well in children's rooms as seating, reading spots, or foot rests. Choose robust, child-friendly designs with secure cushioning. Storage footstools help organise toys and bedding. Ensure there are no sharp edges or small choking hazards. Avoid overly delicate designs. Neutral or playful colours suit growing children. Prioritise safety and durability over aesthetics.

Leather footstools resist stains, require minimal maintenance, and age beautifully—ideal for busy households. Fabric footstools offer softness, design variety, and warmth but need regular care. Consider your lifestyle: leather suits homes with pets or children; fabric suits those prioritising comfort and style. Budget matters too—leather typically costs more initially but lasts longer.

Most indoor footstools aren't suitable outdoors as rain and UV exposure damage materials. For outdoor spaces, choose pieces specifically designed with weather-resistant fabrics or materials. Indoor footstools may be temporarily placed on covered patios. Check manufacturer guidance before outdoor use. Invest in outdoor-rated alternatives for permanent garden or terrace seating instead.

Storage footstools offer excellent value by combining seating, foot rest, and hidden storage. Ideal for reducing clutter in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways. Store blankets, magazines, remotes, or toys inside. They work as coffee tables with trays and cost less than separate pieces. Perfect for space-conscious homes. Choose sturdy designs with quality hinges for longevity and reliability.
