Everything you need to know about footstools, ottomans & poufs in NZ
What is the difference between a footstool, ottoman, and pouf?
A footstool is a small upholstered piece designed to rest your feet on, typically paired with a sofa or armchair. An ottoman is larger and often doubles as storage or a coffee table. A pouf is a casual, low, stuffed seat — often round or square — popular in boho and relaxed interiors.
Can an ottoman be used as a coffee table?
Yes — a flat-topped ottoman with a firm surface works well as a coffee table alternative. Add a tray on top to create a stable surface for drinks and books. This is a popular choice for families as ottomans are softer and safer than hard-edged coffee tables.
Do your ottomans have storage?
Some of our ottomans feature a lift-up lid with internal storage — ideal for blankets, cushions, and living room essentials. Check individual product listings to see which models include storage, and filter by feature to find the right option for your space.
What fabrics are your footstools and ottomans available in?
Our footstools and ottomans come in fabric, velvet, leather-look, and boucle finishes across a wide range of colours. Velvet ottomans add a luxurious touch, leather-look options are easy to wipe clean, and fabric styles offer everyday practicality for busy households.
Can I use a pouf as extra seating?
Yes — poufs are designed to be used as casual extra seating as well as footrests. They’re lightweight and easy to move around, making them ideal for entertaining. Woven and fabric poufs also add texture and warmth to a living room or bedroom.
