Ottoman Empire

A nice and functional addition to your living space is an ottoman.  These are great options if you choose to forgo a traditional coffee table and replace with one large ottoman or three smaller cube ottomans.  They can be multi-functional with storage options either under the lid of the ottoman or with a shelf built in for holding baskets.  You can add one to your entrance way to allow for storage of hats and mitts and to let your guests or little ones have a space to sit while they put on their shoes/boots.  An ottoman at the end of your bed is another great way to utilize this piece of furniture, you can use it to store pillows or extra blankets, or to have a place to sit when putting your socks on.

Ottoman's add a touch of warmth to your space with their soft lines, textures and fabrics. They can be plush or refined, and should be utilized in your home.  There are many different types, styles, colour and fabric options available so I am positive that there is definitely one (or more) for your space.  Here are some options that I selected to show you the many different sides of ottomans:

As you can see from those above that the options are endless!  Ottomans come in various shapes and sizes, colours and patterns, textures and fabrics - there is absolutely something for everyone.  Pick up one for every location in your home and have these fun and functional additions rule your rooms!

Happy Shopping!
