Footstools

Pouffes & footrests

Introducing a footstool or pouffe to your living room is a great way to add personality and comfort to your home. Many of our footstools come in the same range as our sofas so you can opt for a coordinated look for your living room - or shake things up and mix and match to create a unique look for your home.

We also offer storage footstools, ideal for adding extra storage in your living room.

Fabric and leather footstools

Choose from a wide selection of real leather footstools, or quality upholstery fabric footstools in beautiful colours and patterns.

For a stylish addition to your living room look no further than our leather pouffes. Using 100% genuine leather and solid hardwood frames in our designs ensures we maintain the high quality of our furniture every time.

You can also opt for a beautifully upholstered fabric pouffe. Our footstools with a velvet finish add character and comfort to your home. Super-smooth yet hard-wearing velvet upholstery provides a soft, plush finish whilst promising durability for years to come. For a classic neutral look, opt for our grey velvet footstools, or go bold with a blue or green velvet option.

Footstools and pouffes in a range of colours

With colours ranging from beautiful neutrals to statement darks, you’re sure to find the right footstool to match with your sofa and decor. Our black footstools offer a sleek, contemporary choice that combine perfectly with our modern black leather sofas, while our neutral, beige footstools are perfect for matching with any colour.

Other dark options include emerald green and slate grey, along with a choice of blue footstools spanning from midnight black to duck egg.

Plush padded tops provide a supremely comfortable resting place for tired legs while relaxing in front of the TV or enjoying a good book.

Decorating with grey footstools

The versatility of grey makes it the perfect choice of colour for your footstool, allowing you to easily mix and match it with other furniture or move between rooms if needed. We know that no two homes are the same which is why we offer a wide range of grey pouffes to suit every type of home.

For those of you looking for a more practical solution, a darker grey can be a great way to hide any small marks or smears and fits perfectly in homes with a more contemporary or modern style. Footstools don’t have to be limited to the living room – one in the hallway can be a good place to sit and put your shoes on or you could add one to your bedroom for the perfect perching spot.

To add a bit of lightness to your living room, a lighter grey or silver fabric finish can really open up a space and works well in homes with soft furnishings or a neutral style. And, to add a touch of luxe to your space, don’t forget our grey velvet footstools.

Large footstools

For sizeable homes, consider adding a large pouffe to your living room. Available in a choice of designs, they are perfect for resting multiple feet while snuggling up to watch your favourite series - transforming into impromptu snack stations or as additional seating when guests arrive.

Choose from Scandi-style footstools raised from the floor by modern hardwood feet, opulent button-detail velvet designs, or simple rectangular or square stools that look great in any setting.

Small footstools

Smaller pouffes are perfect for dotting around the living room, with our storage styles providing an easily accessible place for magazines and books to live or a place to hide kids’ toys or your collection of chargers.

In the process of setting up or refreshing your living room? We’ve put together this handy living room furniture guide to help you choose the pieces you want for your home.

What’s the difference between a footstool and an ottoman?

Footstools are designed primarily for resting your feet, whereas an ottoman is typically larger, upholstered, and serves multiple purposes – from a footrest to extra seating, or even storage.

Ottomans are usually a bedroom staple rather than used as living room furniture, whereas footstools can be used in either room.

What’s the difference between a footstool and a pouffe?

The main difference between footstools and pouffes is in their shape and appearance. Footstools tend to have wooden legs and can be taller than pouffes.

Pouffes are lower to the ground than footstools, often shaped more like a cube or a sphere.

How high should a footstool be?

Footstools should be slightly lower than your sofa, around 30-45cm in height. However, if you plan to use a footstool as a coffee table, or next to your bed, then it may need to be taller than this.
