Footstools

Choosing the right footstools

Footstools have evolved from simple footrests to essential multifunctional furniture in UK homes. At CozyFurnitureDirect, our collection caters to various spaces and lifestyles, offering compact designs ideal for small flats as well as larger statement pieces that double as coffee tables or storage units. Whether you want extra seating, a versatile surface, or hidden storage, our footstools offer innovative solutions.

Trends highlight organic and rounded forms with soft, tactile fabrics like velvet, boucle, and linen proving popular. Bold patterns, jewel tones, and textured upholstery inject personality and depth into living areas. Our storage footstools blend style and function, perfect for tucking away throws, toys, or remote controls.

Practical uses include serving as side tables with trays, seating for guests, and even pet-friendly steps. Lightweight and portable, footstools provide flexible furniture options, especially valuable in the space-conscious UK living room.

Styling tips suggest mixing bright or patterned footstools with neutral sofas for a playful touch or coordinating fabric choices for a cohesive look. Adding complementary cushions and rugs integrates your footstool seamlessly into the room’s design.

Maintain your footstool’s appearance through regular vacuuming and spot cleaning tailored to the upholstery type. Avoid harsh products and direct sunlight to preserve colour and texture. For guidance, see our Furniture Care Guide.
