How Does One Pick The Right Sized Ottoman?

If you plan on putting your feet up, make sure the ottoman height is close (within an inch or two) to the seat height of the chair you’ll be pairing your ottoman with. The best way to pick an ottoman height is to test drive some different ones in-store to see what feels the best.

What are Common Ottoman Sizes and Shapes?

Since ottomans come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, it’s hard to say what the “average” ottoman is. However, you’ll usually see square or rectangle ottomans running between 15 to 40 inches in width and depth.

How Does One Choose Ottoman Colors?

The easiest way to pick an ottoman fabric or leather color while simultaneously creating an amazing space is to mix, match, and contrast materials and colors. When picking the color or fabric for your ottoman, consider how it will add the current colors in your space. Don’t be afraid to be bold when picking a fabric, texture, or color. Oftentimes the best color combinations lie across from each other on the color and texture wheel.

What Materials Are Best for Ottomans?

The type of material you pick for your ottoman matters as much as the color or pattern. Not only does the material you choose have a huge impact on your ottomans looks, but also, maybe more importantly it changes how your ottoman feels to the touch. For example, a leather ottoman would have a colder and more modern feel when compared to a fabric ottoman or something like linen which can project a warmer and cozier feel.
