Four Tips For Buying an coffee table
Tips for buying a coffee table
Ottomans
are awesome! There are so many uses and configurations of ottomans that you
should know about. They originally were designed as footstools, and that is
their most common use, but the shapes and sizes make them a versatile piece to
have in your home. An ottoman can be purchased as a set with an armchair or
loveseat in the same fabric or leather, but also can be purchased at a later
time to update the look in room. You can find them in leather, denim, chenille,
wood and leather and metal and leather - great combinations to fit almost any
room design.
Many
ottomans are footed or have a solid base, but some are on wheels, making it
easy to "pull up an ottoman" for a chat, roll across the room to use
as a foot rest or push into a corner during a party or get together. Here are a
few tips for use when buying an ottoman.
1. Use
an ottoman for a dining room table seating. This idea works well
to open a dining room so that the chair backs don't block a lovely table view
or window view outside. You may use just one loveseat sized ottoman or two or
three smaller versions. It works much like a bench or stools and can be located
in the breakfast nook or a formal dining room. The material covering the
ottoman should match the same style as the dining table.
2. A
versatile coffee table is an ottoman with a tray on top. Try using
an ottoman as a living room table where you may place the TV remote, magazines
or drink glasses. This can be the casual way to keep your home to be replaced
with a lightweight coffee table when you have company.
3. Buy
more than one ottoman. One ottoman may not be enough if more
than one person likes to prop their feet while reading the paper or watching
television, especially if you do not have a reclining sofa. You can either use
two matching ottomans or different fabrics or leather colors as long as it
matches the style of the room. Don't do the double or triple pairs though -
it's not a great idea to have two ottomans, two chairs and two side tables that
match. Two pairs is the max for matching for a room.
4. Double
duty ottomans. - Because ottomans are typically large cubes, many
times they can serve as storage compartments for throws, extra pillows and
magazines. Some lids are two pieces with a flat piece of wood set into a frame
and a leather cushion on top, while other ottomans are wicker or vinyl with a
hinged lid.
If
you are considering buying an ottoman for a foot rest, good for you. When you
want to have a resourceful piece of furniture in your home that doesn't cost
too much but adds plenty of fashion, think about buying an ottoman!
