Here are some insider tips for you.

How to Determine the Right Height Ottoman Stool?

Special attention should be paid to the height of an ottoman. If the ottoman stool is too high for the armchair or sofa, it will be uncomfortable to put your feet up. However, if the ottoman stool is too low, it will also make it inconvenient to serve as a side table or may not provide ample storage space. The ideal height for an ottoman stool is between 40cm and 45cm.

“Please measure the height between the armchair seat and the floor to get an idea of the best height of the ottoman stool for your living space, especially when you are taking the ottoman as a footrest. If you buy small ottoman stools, make sure they are at least 40cm to 45cm high”. Commented by James Tang of Housetex.

How to Find the Right Color Ottoman Stool?

The color of an ottoman offers the owner an opportunity to express his or her style.

If you have a modern, country-style, or shabby chic living space, matching the color of the upholstery to your current home furniture can help the ottoman blend in with the rest of the décor. However, there is no need to match the colors exactly. Try picking an alternative tone or complementary shade to add more depth to the space. A Light Gray Ottoman Stool with Wooden Legs matches well with an armchair in natural wood color and with gray cushions. Or try placing an emerald green Round Storage Ottoman Stool in a background surrounded by sage green plants.

For instance, Very Peri, the representative color of the year 2022 released by PANTONE, the international color authority, is a new color combining the qualities of the beloved blue color family with a warm violet-red undertone. With the enchanting rich violet-red infused with the healing blue hue, Very Peri is full of energy and joy, and highlights courageous creativity and dynamic presence, perfectly representing our longing for the future with a fresh perspective of the present.

Housetex is using the healing Very Peri in ottoman furniture products as we believe it can deliver both visual and user experiences of generous beauty and creative curiosity.

When the nice-to-touch ottoman products collide with shades of blue and violet, there is no doubt less stereotype and more vitality and comfort in the house.

Further, to make a statement or to make the ottoman the focal point of the room, a contrasting or bright color is the best pick. Colors that can make a space visually pop are green, yellow, purple, red, and of course for this year Very Peri. For a stylish effect, pair a Very Peri Ottoman Stool against a light gray sofa. If you have limited space, you will find this new color Very Peri can make the room appear larger but cozier at the same time with its perfect combination of cool blue and warm violet-red undertones.
