For anyone who’s ever decorated a space large or small, you know that multipurpose furniture can be a designer’s best friend. Decorating a living space with the best ottomans, poufs, or footstools not only adds an intentional element to your home decor, but provides extra seating too. These days these double-duty wonders come in all shapes, sizes, textures, and price points.

In search of the best ottomans–those that balance your drinks and your feet, serve as a workstation, act as hidden storage, or just add some visual interest to your living room—we found options in genuine leather, jute, bouclé, as well as hexagonal, round, and square shapes. Read on for a few of our favorite tiny but mighty furniture pieces.

Our Top Picks for Best Ottomans:

Few ottomans are totally unforgettable, but this collaboration from Schoolhouse and Clare V is so striking, it could easily be filed in that category. The broad stripes in black and beige make for a surprisingly flexible decor piece: Its palette is neutral enough that this doesn’t have to be a proper “statement piece” and can segue between modern maximalism and more traditional interior design schemes. Any way you style it, this piece will be the star of the show.

This handwoven option can serve as an indoor or outdoor ottoman thanks to the durable jute fiber. Top it with a textured throw to add softness, or a wooden tray if you’d like to turn it into a side table.

Here’s living, breathing proof that outdoor ottomans don’t have to be plastic, or ugly. This round ottoman has gorgeous Moroccan-inspired upholstery that brings a welcome dose of personality to your backyard setup. Imagine lounging on this cocktail ottoman poolside, frozen rum drink in hand, sunnies on, sweaty forehead, and cracking a 400-page beach read. It’s almost too much to handle.

We loved this Jake Arnold collaboration so much we wrote an article on it, referencing its ‘40s and ‘50s French style. This small ottoman supplements bulkier chairs in any living space that might be short of seating, but it works as an accent piece or a vanity stool too.

One of our favorite affordable midcentury retailers is serving up us a square storage ottoman with ample space for hiding blankets, books, toys, etc. We love a piece of furniture with dual functionality, and the rawhide tan (100% top grain—no faux leather here) makes it fashionable to boot.

An upholstered ottoman need not be pulling out all the stops—sometimes a small, simple detail will set it apart. This best seller from West Elm is versatile, well-crafted, and comes in two super accessible variations: alabaster bouclé and the dark green velvet. They’ve styled it with a bohemian rug, a big armchair, and a book, exactly as it should be.

This cube ottoman from Arhaus is exactly the sort of detail that ties the room together. Made from real hide, sewn with considerable craftsmanship and attention to detail, and as stylish as it gets, this single piece does the work of a thousand other tchotchkes.

From West Elm’s new collection with Pierce & Ward comes this hexagonal ottoman in too many fabric options to count. Choose from linen, basket weave, chenille, or this striking jacquard print to level up the elegant, vintage look of your home decor.

The burnt orange color, the ribbing, and the velvet finish come together to create a fun pouf package with this firm option from Kelly Clarkson Home.

It doesn’t get more provincial than this round ottoman from Serena & Lily. For lovers of the French countryside, or those with a soft spot for precious home decor, this piece complements any rustic or countryside aesthetic, but it would also look darling in a children’s room or tucked under a mahogany vanity.

Okay, so we also wrote about the Brigette Romanek collab with Crate and Barrel—sorry, it’s gorgeous. This velvet, pleated ottoman stands out for its unique color and shape, and the peeking wood detail at its foot. Luxury met its match with this one.

Another hexagonal option—something in the water?—from Soho House features a sophisticated stripe with bouclé upholstery. A million bucks ($795, actually) says this will take your space from eh to amazing.

If you’re up for a splurge, Sarah Ellison’s chrome-and-velvet ottoman is a real statement piece. Put it at the foot of an accent chair or let it stand on its own; its geometric, bolstered construction and rich chocolate color will catch everyone’s eye.
