Footstools are the best place to rest your legs after a long day at the office. You can purchase a footstool with storage or without, in a range of shapes and sizes. They are the perfect addition to a sofa set or recliner chair in the living room or conservatory.
Lee Longlands boasts an extensive range of footstools to suit a variety of styles, including fabric and leather options, ottoman footstools and foot pouffes.
There are various kinds of footstool available at Lee Longlands depending on your requirements.
A fabric footstool is highly versatile, being available in all sorts of textures, colours and patterns. They are a common choice for accent furniture, easy on the wallet and soft to the touch, and work well with a fabric living room set or recliner. A mid-blue or mid-grey footstool will mask stains caused by everyday life.
Leather footstools can give a lounge a more sophisticated look and are easy to clean. They are great for both modern and traditional living.
Some of our leather stools have a fabric top. The fabric complements the leather, adds texture, and also increases comfort since it is softer and retains heat better. Fabric and leather combinations are often seen on classic contemporary and traditional style footstools.
Meaning “puffed out” in French, a foot pouffe can best be described as a hard, large cushion which can be used as either a footstool or a small cushioned seat. It is typically covered in fabric all over and is smaller than an ottoman footstool. As it is cushioned, it is a very comfortable place to sit or put up your feet. A fabric pouffe is great for contemporary styling while a leather pouffe is more traditional.
An ottoman footstool is a storage footstool with a lift up lid. It’s a stylish way to include extra storage space in the living room or conservatory, serving as a handy place to keep magazines, books and television remotes. This keeps the space tidy. It can also serve as a toy box, making it great for a family homes. Storage stools may vary in size, so check the internal dimensions before purchasing. A large storage stool will generally hold more than smaller alternatives.
Foot stools have many benefits, not least that they are excellent for relaxation. Put your feet up to read, watch TV or even take a nap.
Storage footstools are a brilliant solution for compact living, allowing you to tidy away clutter when guests come to visit. Stools with flat tops can be multifunctional, replacing coffee tables or lamp tables as an additional surface. Furthermore, a footstool can serve as extra seating for parties and family events.
Finally, footstools add style to a room. Some sofa ranges use a stool as an accent piece, upholstered in a different material or colour for contrast.
There are lots of factors to consider when working out which footstool is right for you, your comfort and your home. These include size, materials and colour.
Size can have an impact on the footstool you choose. Large footstools take up more room, but may compensate for this if they offer storage, too. They can also serve as spare seating, negating the need for an extra armchair. By contrast, a small footstool can simply be squeezed into a corner when it isn’t required and will be easier to lift and manoeuvre.
The material you choose can change the style of your lounge, too. Fabrics are better for casual or classic contemporary style homes. Leather stools can sit at either end of the style spectrum – they can be super traditional or ultra-modern, but are always a smart addition to the room.
Lots of different colours and patterns are available to achieve the perfect look for your lounge. A neutral colour will complement most furnishings, while bold colours like mustard yellow are brilliant for drawing the eye and making a style statement. Geometric patterns are a popular choice for modern retro and contemporary living, often coming in fun, bright colours like orange and lime.
