Round Ottomans

Why a round ottoman (or two) is a great choice for your home

A round ottoman is one of those versatile furniture pieces you’ll find yourself using every day. Whether you need an extra seat, a spot to rest your feet, or a stylish stand-in for a coffee table, round ottoman furniture offers flexibility and function in equal measure. Their soft curves help break up harsh lines in a room, making them especially suited to smaller or high-traffic areas where flow and movement matter. A round storage ottoman also offers the added bonus of hidden storage, ideal for tidying away throws, magazines or toys without sacrificing style. If you’re still exploring your options, our full ottoman collection is packed with designs to suit every room and aesthetic.

Choosing the right sized round ottoman for your space and needs

When selecting a round ottoman, it helps to first consider where and how you plan to use it. For compact spaces or apartments, a smaller round ottoman can double as a coffee table or side seat without taking over the room. In larger living areas, a pair of matching ottomans can create a flexible layout that adapts to guests, playtime, or relaxing evenings. If you need storage, look for a round storage ottoman with a lift-off or hinged lid - it’s a clever way to keep your space feeling calm and clutter-free. Want to compare shapes? Explore our range of rectangular ottomans or cube and square ottomans for more options that suit your layout.

Materials and features to consider when buying a new round ottoman

From plush velvet to durable linen and textured boucle, the material of your round ottoman plays a big role in its overall look and feel. Soft-touch fabrics create a cosy, relaxed vibe, while leather or faux leather options feel refined and easy to clean. Timber or metallic legs can add contrast or elevate the style. If practicality is top of mind, a round storage ottoman is a smart pick, especially in busy living rooms or kids' spaces. Need something longer? Our ottoman benches offer generous proportions that work well at the foot of the bed or in wide entryways. No matter the material, a well-made ottoman should feel sturdy, comfortable, and ready for everyday use.

How to fit round ottomans into your homes decor and space

Thanks to their compact footprint and curved silhouette, round ottomans are surprisingly easy to incorporate into existing layouts. Tuck one next to a lounge chair as an extra surface, or use it in the centre of your seating arrangement as a soft alternative to a coffee table. Styling tip: place a tray on top of your ottoman to hold books, candles or a cup of tea, adding both function and flair. In bedrooms, a round ottoman makes a great seat for getting ready or slipping on shoes, especially near a wardrobe or mirror. Looking to coordinate your setup?
