For some reason, I feel like I’ve been seeing a lot more ottomans around in the last month than usual. Here are a few options to get you thinking about where you’d like to rest your feet.
I see this Preston Footstool from Quackenbush & Winkler ($942, qwfurniture.com) in a warm Vermont ski house or in a traditional home. It has a regal quality without being overdone.
To me, this piece wants to sit in a college professor’s office. I want to sit down with a hefty hardcover classic and put my feet up on this. (Jehs and Laub ottoman with pedestal base from Design Within Reach, $1,749, dwr.com)
The Soto Storage ottoman from Design Within Reach ($1,800, dwr.com) is a great piece. You can throw kids toys, DVDs, books or blankets in here. The room looks clean, but you’ve still got what you need close-by.
