The origins of ottoman furniture

Ottomans are versatile furniture pieces that originated in 18th-century Turkey, under the Ottoman Empire's rule. When they first appeared, ottomans were large pieces of furniture that often lined three walls of the main living space, and were piled with cushions. As time went on, ottomans became smaller and more portable. Today, they are stylish upholstered cushioned seats promising a luxurious, comfortable experience for your feet. Paired with your favourite sofa or armchair, they are the perfect way to relax and unwind.

Do I need a matching ottoman or footstool?

We're probably biased, but the short answer is...yes!

There are no downsides to a good ottoman or stool. They are practical, multifunctional, and can help you maintain better posture. If you are especially tall or short, an ottoman can provide extra comfort by allowing you to sit more naturally. Some ottomans come with hidden storage, making them great space savers and clutter clearers. You can use ottomans as a footstool, but you can also use them as last-minute seating, a makeshift workspace, or even a temporary coffee table. You can find ottomans in wood, metal, rattan, plastic or fully upholstered. Incorporate them into your bedroom furniture by placing storage ottomans at the foot of your bed, or using them in front of your vanity mirror. You can benefit from a well-placed ottoman regardless of age, style or taste.

As to whether your armchairs and footstools should match, that's a different story. Matching furniture is the perfect way to tie your home decor together, and you can often get a better deal buying furniture in a set. If you don't want to buy a set of furniture but still want your ottomans or footstools to match, look for pieces that share colours, materials, or interior styles. If your lounge chair is upholstered in leather, look for a leather ottoman. If your couch heavily features the colour beige, look for beige. Does your living room or bedroom have an industrial design? Choose an ottoman that has a metal frame or accents. Boho chic style homes may even prefer a slightly mismatched aesthetic.

No matter what you're looking for, Artiss has an ottoman or footstool in our collection to perfectly suit your interiors.

Ottomans and footstools FAQ

What is the difference between an ottoman, a footstool, and a pouf?

You've probably heard these three terms used interchangeably, but they are actually three different types of furniture!

An ottoman is described as a low, upholstered seat that typically has no back or arms, and they often have short or hidden legs. They are usually bigger than either footstools or poufs, and often feature storage. They suit homes that have large living spaces or homes that require lots of functional, hidden storage.

Unlike ottomans which are directly tied to the Ottoman empire, footstools are a more generic invention. Their main function is to support your feet. They can be upholstered, or not. They can feature storage, or not. They are much smaller than ottomans, which makes them perfect for small homes.

Poufs are small yet stylish. They are the French take on ottomans, and get their name from the French hairstyle popularised by Marie Antoinette, the "pouffe". They are small bubble shaped footstools that don't usually feature storage. While you can consider all poufs as ottomans, not all ottomans are poufs.

What's the best height for an ottoman?

An ottoman should be no higher than your main sofa or chair. Whether you want it to be lower than that is up to personal preference.
