Do you have a favourite piece, like a leather footstool tucked away in a corner? If yes, then there’s the thing. The footstool does not deserve to be forgotten under a pile of clothes or pushed to the back of a desk. A good footstool will work hard in any room, especially those places where comfort and calm matter most. The perfect place for such would be bedrooms and home offices. Customers at Footstools & More often tell us how buying one for their living room makes them want another for their more personal spaces, too.
Here are a few simple ideas that can help you give yours a proper spot.
● Set up a soft landing next to your bed
A footstool by the bedside adds warmth without overdoing it. It provides a resting place to tie your shoes or sort out your morning bits. If you like a clean, uncluttered look, this little piece helps keep the room at peace and still manages to make it look stylish.
● Convert it into a book and magazine corner.
Bedrooms and home offices often end up with loose papers and half-read novels. A footstool works as a little drop zone that still looks neat. Place your current reads on top and keep the rest in a tidy stack below, if the style allows it. It keeps things easy to reach and stops items from drifting across the room.
● Add comfort to your work corner
A footstool under the desk in an office setting brings instant ease to one's day. It enables good posture on longer days and makes your workspace feel a lot less formal. Little additions like these make your office feel like a place you actually want to sit in, not just one you have to.
● Give your dressing area a lift
Whether it's a full vanity or a small wall mirror, the stool transforms that space into a little pampering corner. Use it for makeup time, quick touch-ups, or even as a spot to set your jewellery tray. It adds charm without crowding the room.
● Keep cosy extras within reach
A large ottoman footstool works well for storing throws, cushions, or spare bedding in the bedroom. Not only does it keep that clutter from view, but it also adds a soft touch at the end of your bed or beside a reading chair. It feels practical yet inviting, which is exactly what you want from rooms in which you unwind.
