Footstools, Ottomans & Poufs

An Ottoman is a versatile and flexible piece of furniture with multiple uses across your Australian living room. It’s a freestanding piece that comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, generally padded and upholstered and occasionally with a hollow centre for extra storage.

Use it as a Sydney centrepiece, a place to put your feet up and rest or move it to the side for some flexible extra seating. The versatility comes from the simplicity of its design, with a choice of styles and colours to match your existing suite or to add an element of contrast.

Our footstools, ottomans and poufs come in a diverse selection of materials, catering to various styles and preferences. The material selection includes luxurious leather, which provides a timeless and sophisticated look; versatile fabric options, which offer comfort and durability and distressed velvet, adding a touch of opulence and texture to any room.

Our footstools, ottomans and poufs are available in a wide range of colours, from vibrant, eye-catching shades like bright blues and sunny yellows to more subdued hues such as neutral tones and earthy greens. This variety ensures that you can find the perfect ottoman to match your decor, whether you're looking to make a bold statement or blend seamlessly with your existing interior design.

Despite being a relic of an ancient eastern empire, Ottomans straddle a range of design styles. It can look just as at home in a North African-themed living space as it can in a modern, contemporary living room. It’s all about a combination of design simplicity and functionality.

There are no hard and fast rules about the form that your ottoman should take. Typically overstuffed for added comfort, these ottomans can come in various shapes including round, square, or rectangular and feature different profiles to suit your needs—whether you prefer them high or low. Some designs have legs, others are formed by a large, padded base. This versatility of design makes it a valuable addition to any Australian living space.

Match your Ottoman to our Sydney range of sofas, armchairs and loveseats. Or make it a bold style statement with contrasting colour choices. Our Australian selection of design styles, featuring padded fabric and leather options in a range of colours, mean there is an Ottoman for any Australian home.

Complete your Sydney living room with a central footrest or occasional coffee table or turn an unused corner into a cosy spot to sit, read and relax. Place it to the side of your sofa as a versatile side table doubling up as extra living seating. You can even use our Ottomans to turn an ordinary Sydney seating area into a modular sofa with the movable Ottoman section creating even more relaxed living space. It’s all in our Ottoman Australia range.

Caring for your footstool involves regular maintenance to keep it looking its best. Always check the care label or manufacturer's guidelines for specific cleaning recommendations and avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or finish. Start by vacuuming or brushing the footstool to remove dust and debris.

For fabric-covered footstools, spot clean stains using a suitable upholstery cleaner and a soft cloth.

If your footstool is made of leather, wipe it down regularly with a damp cloth and treat it with a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material soft and prevent cracks.

When selecting a pouf for your living room, consider its purpose, whether as extra seating, a footrest, or a decorative piece. Ensure it complements the size and scale of your existing furniture without overcrowding the space. Choose materials that suit your lifestyle; durable, easy-to-clean fabrics like leather or synthetic blends are ideal for busy areas, while softer materials like velvet add a touch of luxury. Select colours and patterns that coordinate with your room’s decor, and opt for a shape and design that matches your living room’s overall style, whether modern, traditional, or eclectic.
