Our super-duper storage footstools have a big secret: their hiding storage space beneath shhh! don't tell anyone...
Can't decide if a footstool with storage would work well in your living room, here's some fun facts to help you decide.
Footstool with storage options have become quite popular in recent years. With our homes becoming so much smaller, space is now such a premium to have. Being savvy and buying furniture which has multiple uses is definitely a must nowadays. Not only will a footstool with storage provide somewhere to hide clutter, it will also act as a focal point in the living room by complementing your existing sofas and chairs. They can be used as seating as well, which is wonderful for smaller spaces. You can make it a coffee table - why not pair it with a stylish tray. Most homes have a footstool in the living room, but they take up lots of useful space. Why not make it double duty and opt for an ottoman. A footstool ottoman would be perfect for adding a space to store handy items in your living room, bedroom or landing space, but they also look stylish and add a touch of elegance to your space. A footstool with storage will be a great compliment to your sofa and other leather furniture.
The entire top of the stool lifts up easily by way of a fabric pull handle, revealing an impressive area with the capacity to store things underneath. If you are not blessed with a huge living room and live in a home where every inch matters, you might have come across storage footstools as a great solution if you lack the space. They make a great addition to any room and are perfect for use as a footrest, whilst you're working away on your laptop. A footstool with storage has stowage space that covers the whole area inside the stool frame under the padded top, pretty much from the floor to lid. So if you have always dreamed of a clutter-free room with effortless access to your handy items such as TV remotes, they are great for family homes and stylish additions to any space, plus having built in space to stow away items always seems like such a tidier, more practical option.
Regardless of what type of footstool you choose to create a nifty place to hide away unsightly items, you'll be sure to find one that will complement the fabric of your current home furniture such as your sofa, bed or dining chairs. A grey footstool with storage would be especially easy to incorporate into the space, as it's a neutral colour, will go well with lots of existing shades and is currently regarded as very stylish. All of our storage stools, including ottomans with storage, have a good sturdy, solid base inside. A solid base is what you lay your belongings on in the bottom of the storage area. The solid base is substantial and designed to take the weight of the items being placed inside – which is better for storing those heavier items. The inside area of the footstool with storage is also upholstered in black fabric to provide a clean area to keep your bits and pieces.
Footstools like this are designed so that the lid opens and closes in a smooth fashion. The lid is hinged and at both sides of the inside of the footstool matching fabrics straps are placed so that the lid stays open on its own and furthermore can’t be opened too wide to cause damage to the hinges. We’ve designed the lid so that it’s lightweight and easy for anyone to open. However, despite this, the footstool with storage will still be robust and strong enough to hold the weight of an average adult should they wish to use it as seating.
If you have an abundance of messy items, because you have kids or pets (or both) and you want a beautiful family room that's stylish and also offers creative storage solutions, then a footstool ottoman is the way to go. We make a couple of different size footstool with storage options to suit your needs. Thinking about furniture which offers two uses in one is a great way to make each piece in your home work harder. Large storage footstools are generally rectangular or square in size. They have many uses due to their extra large size, such as an upholstered footstool coffee table.
Using a larger size footstool with storage will create a statement piece and focal point of the living space. With a flatter top and a larger surface with more area to display interesting and unique decorative items with the use of a wooden tray. Opting for a full depth size with small legs gives lots more hiding space, making them useful not only in a living room but in any room in the house. Store your kids toys if someone comes knocking at your door last minute. Thanks to their large size they can store away larger items, or even serve as a toy box in a children's bedroom with somewhere to sit. For extra space-savvy points look for stowaway furniture, such as a small footstool with storage. These can easily be tucked under a coffee table when you don’t need them and if you’re short on space but still want to be able to entertain, they can be used as extra seating.
They can easily be moved around the living space as required, only to be stowed away when not in use in a corner of the room. A footstool with storage is very versatile and has a few more pros, such as; can easily be moved around, some have a completely removable lid, can be used underneath a table as seating, make a great side table.
The one thing you should never do if you have a small living room is to try and cram too much furniture in. Instead, choose furniture that’s proportional to the size of the space, and if you’re still in need of more seating, a footstool with storage will make for great spare seating. Footstools such as this are greatly popular for a reason. They look great in any home, they’re comfy and they provide handy storage to help keep any household neat and tidy.
Where you place them largely depends on the desired use. Think about why you mainly need the footstool and place it accordingly. The living room is a good idea, especially if you want a statement piece of furniture that will be the focal point of the room? Then the middle of the living room or lounge would work perfectly. A larger size would work best. A footstool with storage would make a great place to stow away laundry or clean towels and as such make for a very handy storage item on the landing area at the top of the stairs. This type of footstool is a great option if you need a place to store extra blankets, pillows or other small items. Have you walked into your child’s bedroom recently only to stand on a painful plastic toy? If so, did you know a footstool with storage doubles up as a handy toy box. Use a storage footstool to hide away messy toys, train sets and board games. Teddies and cuddly toys can be displayed on top and when it comes to bedtime, it’s a great place to sit for bedtime stories.
Using a storage footstool in the bedroom at the foot of the bed can be a great idea. Not only does it look great, it provides somewhere to sit in the bedroom and somewhere to store shoes, clothes or spare blankets and pillows.
Our entire footstool with storage range are built by ourselves here in the UK and we construct them to the highest standards using the best materials and methods of construction. We build our frames from engineered hardwood, which is not only strong and robust, it will not twist or warp in the years to come. The feet (which simply screw in or out to attach or remove) are held in place by threaded T-Nuts. The T-Nuts are inserted into a wooden block at each corner of the footstool with storage. This means that the legs can take higher loads and therefore the storage footstool can be moved around the room without fear of causing any damage. We use a quality high grade foam for the padding on top of the stool. The foam selected will maintain its original shape and appearance for years to come. The footstool will provide somewhere comfy to sit and to serve as spare seating. Not only that, we neatly and skillfully upholster each footstool with storage in good quality, long-lasting velvet, wool or linen fabric. They’ll look great for years to come and require little to no maintenance.
Whichever of the many available footstool with storage options you choose, buy good quality and you’re guaranteed to love it for years. When the time comes and you fancy a change of colour scheme, or you re-decorate your interior, the footstool can be recovered in a new fabric of your choice by your local Upholsterer. A footstool with storage chosen from our range, will not only prove a useful addition in the home, it will also act as something that will stand up to everything that life throws at it on a daily basis. As with a sofa, adults, children and pets could be sitting on the footstool with storage on a daily basis. Therefore, this is where something in our range of hard-wearing wools, linens or velvets comes into their own.
