Footstools
Footstools are one of the most versatile pieces you can add to your home — and at FW Homestores, we've made it easier than ever to find one that works as hard as it looks. Whether you're after a plush velvet footstool to complement your sofa, a chunky coffee table footstool that anchors your living room, or a clever storage footstool to keep clutter out of sight, our collection has been curated with the modern UK home in mind. Beautifully made, honestly priced, and built to last.
The Right Footstool for Every Home
Choosing a footstool is about more than just putting your feet up — it's about choosing a piece that earns its place in your room.
Our collection spans everything from compact upholstered cubes to large footstools generous enough to double as a coffee table. If you're short on space, a storage footstool is a smart buy — lift the lid and you've got a hidden home for throws, remotes, or kids' toys. Our footstool with storage styles are especially popular in living rooms where every square foot counts.
For those who love texture and warmth, our velvet footstool range brings a touch of understated luxury to any setting — available in rich jewel tones and understated neutrals. Prefer something more structured? Our Chesterfield footstool designs carry a classic, button-tufted character that pairs beautifully with traditional or contemporary sofas alike.
Crafted from solid wood frames with quality upholstered finishes, every footstool in our range is built for everyday use — not just for show. From a sleek black footstool for a minimal interior to rustic, natural-finish designs that bring warmth to a country-style room, there's something to suit every taste and budget.
Looking to pair up? Browse our sofa and footstool sets for a coordinated look without the guesswork. For size guidance: a footstool should sit roughly the same height as your sofa cushions and leave enough room to walk comfortably around it.

1. What size footstool do I need for my living room?
As a general rule, your footstool should be around two-thirds the width of your sofa. For larger sofas, a large footstool or an ottoman-style design works well both functionally and visually. Always leave at least 30–45 cm of clearance around it.
2. Are your storage footstools sturdy enough to sit on?
2. Are your storage footstools sturdy enough to sit on?
Yes — our storage footstool designs are built with solid wood frames and reinforced lids, making them strong enough to be used as extra seating when needed. Weight limits are listed on each individual product page.
3. Do your footstools come assembled?
3. Do your footstools come assembled?
Most footstools in our collection arrive fully assembled or require minimal setup. Assembly details are clearly noted on each product listing, so you'll know exactly what to expect before your order arrives.
4. What's the difference between a footstool and a pouffe?
4. What's the difference between a footstool and a pouffe?
Footstools tend to be firmer and slightly more structured — often with a solid frame — making them suitable as a coffee table footstool or side surface. Pouffes are typically softer and more casual. Both are great for living rooms; it comes down to how you plan to use it.
