How to Choose the Right Ottoman or Bench

Ottomans and benches are versatile pieces that can serve as extra seating, footrests, coffee tables, or storage solutions. Start by identifying the primary purpose: do you need extra seating for guests, a place to put your feet up, or a spot to store blankets and shoes? Also consider the location—entryway benches should be durable and easy to clean, while living room ottomans can be more luxurious. Think about how it will fit into your daily routine and the flow of the room.

Size and Proportion Matter

Measure your space before purchasing. A bench should be at least half the length of the sofa it accompanies, leaving enough walkway space. For entryways, ensure there’s clearance for opening doors. For ottomans, consider the height relative to your seating—standard sofa height is around 18-20 inches, so an ottoman of similar height works best for a footrest. If you plan to use it as a coffee table, add a tray for drinks. Remember to leave at least 18 inches of walking space around furniture.

Materials and Durability

Choose materials based on usage. Velvet and chenille offer softness and luxury, perfect for low-traffic areas like bedrooms or formal living rooms. Linen is breathable and casual, but may wrinkle—ideal for a relaxed vibe. For high-traffic areas or homes with kids and pets, opt for stain-resistant fabrics or darker colors. Metal frames and legs add durability and a modern touch, while wood legs bring warmth. Check the frame construction—solid wood or metal is sturdier than particleboard.

Style and Aesthetic

Your ottoman or bench should complement your existing decor. For a modern or glam look, choose pieces with gold metal accents or clean lines. For a rustic or farmhouse feel, go with wood legs and neutral fabrics. Southwest patterns add boho character. Consider the color palette—neutral tones are versatile, while bold colors make a statement. Also think about the shape: rectangular benches fit against walls, while round ottomans soften corners. Don’t be afraid to mix textures to add depth to your room.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care extends the life of your furniture. Vacuum upholstery regularly to remove dust and debris. Spot clean spills immediately with a mild detergent and water—test in an inconspicuous area first. For velvet, use a soft brush to maintain the pile. Linen may require professional cleaning. Metal frames can be wiped with a damp cloth. Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. Consider adding felt pads under legs to protect floors.
