Top 6 Storage OttomansStorage ottomans are one of the best multipurpose pieces for small spaces. Seat, mini table, foot rest and storage. What more can one ask for? Here are my top picks, based on both design and function. Please note that I have not personally tested any of them. If you have any personal experience with any on the list, I invite you to write a mini review. This ottoman, from Crate and Barrel, is incredibly versatile. It's small enough, a cube measuring about 17", to take up minimal space. Made of padded leather, it'll give your footsies—or your bottom—much comfort. The best part is the lid, which comes off completely to reveal the storage space, and can be flipped over for a smooth, wood surface that you can rest drinks and food on. This storage ottoman has a beautifully clean and sophisticated design. The white color will compliment any decorating theme. An 18" cube, this ottoman is compact enough for the smallest of apartments. Place a few next to each other to create seating. This ingenious ottoman is perfect for the game lover. From Target, the ottoman has a removable lid flips over to become a game board. The ottoman comes with boards for chess or checkers, Chinese checkers, backgammon or tic tac toe. Store all the game pieces inside, and you have an ottoman that can be used for resting your feet on, resting drinks on, seating or as the centerpiece of Game Night. How fantastic is that? Also from Target, the sides of this ottoman bow out in a round shape that conveys sleekness and quirkiness—hence, I assume, the name of “Soho Storage Cube.” The top comes off completely and reverses to reveal a tray surface that you can rest drinks and food on. It even comes with handles so you can bring it to the kitchen and carry noshes back easily. This ottoman, unlike the others, is made completely out of wood, with no padding. Not as comfortable as padded ones, it’s easier to clean, though. Great for resting drinks and the remote on. The lid comes off completely for access to storage space. At 45" wide, if you have the room for it, this padded ottoman is perfect for multiple people to rest their feet on, as well as providing a generous amount of storage space. The lid is hinged at one side, and it comes in many colors for coordinating with different decorating themes. |
