Ottomans are an underrated must-have for home decor that is both useful and stylish.  These pieces can be used as extra seating or footrests, as well as storage units or decorative center pieces, depending on your needs.  If you want to make your living room, reading nook, or modern bedroom more comfortable and stylish, the right ottoman can help.

Shape and size are the first things to think about.  Round ottomans have a softer shape and help keep the visual flow going without having any sharp edges, which is great for small rooms or minimalist interiors.  Because they are small, they work well in tight spaces, or in front of accent chairs.  On the other hand, square or rectangular ottomans can be used as coffee tables, in bigger rooms because they have more space for trays, books, or decorations.

Both the material and the texture are important.  Finishes made of linen, velvet, or leather can make a room feel very different. Linen makes the room feel casual and laid-back, velvet makes it feel fancy, and leather gives it a sleek, classic look.  Pick materials that either go with what you already have or stand out in a striking way to get people's attention.

Storage ottomans are a smart way to keep your home clean.  Some things that can go in them are blankets, toys, and magazines. This makes them perfect for homes that like both style and order.  Also, decorative ottomans, especially ones, with tufting or patterns, can be used as focal points in neutral rooms.

There is a carefully chosen selection of ottomans at Linen Connections that will fit any style or need.  Each piece is made with quality, and style in mind, whether you want a classic round ottoman for a soft touch or a bold centerpiece to anchor your room.
