What to consider while buying a sofa stool?

Getting confused with so many of our options might make choosing the perfect footstool that suits your interior a bit difficult for you. But don’t worry, you can match, complement and contrast colours and materials of your ottoman with the upholstery of your sofa. Also, keeping a few important points will definitely help you make the right choice.

Colours

Matching the colour of your footstool is possible when you buy it with your sofa or armchair as a set. You can also invest in footstools in accenting colours. You can also match a printed ottoman with a plain sofa and vice versa. Try to tie in the look of the colours of interiors when buying a sofa stool.

Size

The footstool should be lower than your  sofa so that you can keep your legs comfortable while you are sitting down. In case you want to use your pouffe for seating purposes it can be a few inches shorter than your  sofa seat. A compact-sized sofa stool is easy to store under a sideboard or cof

fee table.

Covers

A sofa footrest sees a lot of traffic and heavy usage when kept in your living room. If you want it to have a long life, keep them protected in soft, designer or knitted covers that are easily removable and can be cleaned in the washing machine. Changing their covers based on your mood and the season also help reinvent your interiors easily.

Storage
