Footstools by Material

Choosing the right material helps your footstool fit seamlessly with your home.

Leather Footstools

Durable, easy to clean, and elegant. A black leather footstool works well in contemporary homes, while a brown or cream leather design can add warmth to classic interiors.

Velvet Footstools

Soft, luxurious, and available in a wide colour palette. A green velvet footstool makes a bold style statement, while a grey velvet option blends effortlessly with neutral schemes.

Fabric Footstools

Versatile and cosy, fabric footstools come in textures from soft linen to durable weaves. Perfect for family living rooms where comfort comes first.

Footstools by Size

Large Footstools

Great for creating a central focal point, a large footstool can act as extra seating, a sofa companion, or even a coffee table footstool with the right tray.

Small Footstools

Compact, portable, and easy to tuck away when not in use. A small footstool is ideal for bedrooms, reading corners, or smaller sofas.

How to Choose the Right Footstool for Your Home

Measure your space – Check the available floor area so your footstool complements rather than crowds your room.
Match your furniture – Pair a chair and footstool set for a coordinated look, or choose a sofa and footstool in contrasting fabrics for character.
Think multifunctional – If you need storage, consider a footstool with storage. If you entertain, a coffee table footstool might be best.
Style with purpose – A Chesterfield footstool adds heritage charm, while a round pouffe footstool brings a relaxed, modern touch.

Styling Tips for Footstools

Layer with a tray – Turn your footstool into a coffee table footstool with a decorative tray for drinks, candles, or books.
Add texture – Choose a velvet footstool for softness or a leather footstool for sleek contrast against fabric sofas.
Play with colour – A grey footstool offers subtle sophistication, while a green or cream footstool adds brightness without overpowering your décor.
