An ottoman used as a coffee table, is actually one of my favorite decorating techniques. It’s a great way to have extra seating in a room, so they work really well in smaller homes. They also add a softness to a space, so if you have a lot of hard edges or your room is “all legs” (meaning you have no slipcovered furniture) they can also help even that out. Also, if you need a larger size coffee table which can sometimes be hard to find, an ottoman can often be ordered in a custom size to get exactly what you need. And of course, they are super comfortable to put your feet up on! For that reason, coffee table ottomans work especially well in family rooms.
One of my very favorite rooms by designer Brooke Giannetti. I adore this linen covered ottoman. And it’s such a great size!

Such a cute and comfortable room. Via Lonny.
And one of my favorite things about using an ottoman for a coffee table? It can work in literally any decorating style you choose! And because it’s been a trend for a few years now, there are lots of them to choose from. I had a hard time narrowing it down for you!
