If you are considering buying a storage footstool, then at Footstools & More we have your back. We believe wholeheartedly in using your footstool for storage, because otherwise you are just wasting space in your living room or wherever you use it.

We have said this before, but basically your footstool – whatever shape or size it is – is an empty box. It is not a solid block of timber. If it was, it would be so heavy you would have difficulty moving it. So, if you have an empty box, why not use it for storing things in?

Kids toys, the remote, papers, magazines, knitting (some ladies do still knit, and so does Olympic swimming champion Tom Daley!), the monopoly set, card games, your laptop, a bottle of your favourite vino and a couple of glasses, cigarettes, if you are a smoker) – the list goes on.

All we have to do when we make your footstool is to turn the top of it into a lid with a couple of hinges and your footstool is now a storage footstool. It makes perfect sense.

Multiple Choices Of Finish

When it comes to the finish, you have multiple choices of fabrics, leathers, and faux leathers or Idaho. You can design your footstool so that it perfectly matches the decor in your room, or you can do the opposite so that it stands out proudly on its’ own. Leather footstools are very popular, especially with people who have leather sofas and armchairs, because they match. A leather footstool is also very tolerant of spills, cat claws, and so on. It is difficult for a cat to scratch it, and if you spill something on it you can wipe it off with a damp cloth and nobody will be any the wiser.

As for fabric footstools, well, you have almost unlimited choices. Just to begin with, we have a huge range of fabrics including wools, velvets, omega prints, textured boucles, easy clean plains, Italian velvets, patterns galore, and more. Not only that, but we are happy to send you up to nine fabric samples so that you can see them in your own home.

But if you don’t find something that appeals in our huge choice of fabrics, then we also have links with many of the biggest names in the designer fabric industry, so you could choose from those as well.

Finally, if you are choosing from our fabric footstools designs and still can’t find the right fabric, you can buy your own. Just send it to us and we’ll use that, so you cannot fail to have the perfect footstool for your home!
