An ottoman is a versatile and underappreciated piece of furniture that you can style in different ways. A black ottoman is all you need to make your living room look elegant and classy. However, if you do not know how to include it with your decor, then there are ample options that you can try. 

Add a large armchair and use it as a footrest: Ottomans serve as a great footrest. To add some flavour to the decor, choose a large armchair of any contrasting colour and pair it with a black ottoman, which functions as a footstool.

Ditch the traditional coffee tables: Do you love experimenting with your home? You will surely love this idea. Use an ottoman instead of a conventional coffee table. You can assemble a large serving tray with a jar of candies, a small bud vase or a trumpet vase with artificial or natural flowers, books and magazines, etc., and place it on the ottoman.

Use it as a makeshift bed for naps: Sounds crazy? But how often did you want a space where you can take a quick nap to charge yourself during the day? A large ottoman can serve as a resting space. You can also add a comfy, warm blanket on the ottoman to take an afternoon siesta between those long work meetings. 

Add an extra seat: If you are one of those who love to entertain guests frequently, you know the need for some additional seating that is comfortable. A large ottoman can easily fit two people. Therefore, it is the perfect solution for homes that cannot accommodate large armchairs or big sofa sets. 

Use for outdoor seating on the balcony: Balconies can be an excellent spot for spending some alone time or having fun with friends. However, you cannot always drag furniture from your room to the balcony. Therefore, you can add an ottoman there for outdoor seating.

From using it as a coffee table to extra seating, a black ottoman is an incredible addition to your living room. You are in luck if you think a black ottoman will not match your current aesthetics.
