Perhaps the most useful answer to “what are ottomans used for?” is storage. Ottomans can be used for more than sitting.

If you need more storage, our Brentwood Storage Ottoman is a great buy. It’s a classic storage ottoman, covered in plush upholstery with a tufted top and nailhead trims at the bottom for a lovely decorative touch. We love this bedside ottoman storage as an elegant accent piece near the bed or next to the couch in the living room.

Choose from our range of neutral-toned and vibrant colored Brentwood ottomans to curate a bedroom that appeals to your taste. When looking for ottoman ideas, you might want to consider a gray-toned ottoman, which is a perfect complement to any neutral color palette.

From throw pillows and blankets to board games and magazines, storage ottomans allow your favorite items to be right at your fingertips while making your living or bedroom look neat and well-organized.

Looking for a unique twist of style on an ottoman? Then one of the best answers to the question “what are ottomans used for?” might be an ottoman coffee table. It’s a versatile accessory that you can use to hold trays or serve snacks and cocktails. It gives the space a homey feel with a modern look and is a practical addition to your TV or living room. If you have pets or kids, a coffee table ottoman with storage is a huge plus. The built-in interior compartment is your answer to a mess-free room.

When choosing an ottoman coffee table, keep in mind the size of the surrounding furniture and the surrounding space. Select a piece that’s proportional to your sofa or sectional while leaving at least 12” of walking space in between. To achieve that perfectly laid out décor, round ottomans that allow more room all around work better with a sectional sofa.
