ADD COMFORT AND VERSATILITY WITH OTTOMANS & BENCHES
Make your interiors more welcoming, flexible, and comfortable with our modern ottomans and benches. These time-honored furniture forms can bring interest, beauty and luxury to every room, making them good investments for your home.
They are handcrafted by skilled artisans in our North Carolina factory, sustainably built for healthy homes to stand the test of time. There are a range of shapes and sizes to complement your spaces, from mid-century ottomans to sleek contemporary benches. You can personalize them with our extensive library of fabrics and leathers, as well as multiple wood and metal base finishes.
WHAT ARE OTTOMANS?
From footrests to seating to tray-topped serving surfaces, ottomans have many uses in interior design today. Whether small pull-ups or oversized centers for seating areas, they may be just what you need to complete your space.
Should Your Ottoman Match or Contrast with Your Living Room Furniture?
Color-wise, an ottoman can blend in with adjacent furniture or complement your overall décor.
- For easy color pairing, choose a hue from your chair or sofa fabric, rug or artwork.
- For visual interest, introduce a bold hue or graphic print.
- For families, easy-care performance fabrics, from velvets to linens and more, are smart choices.
- In a room with fabric furnishings, add material contrast with leather, or vegan leather if you prefer.
Larger-scale Ottomans: Comfortable Coffee Tables
Why put your feet up on a wooden table when you can enjoy a soft edge?
- Their soft edges also make them safe options for homes with young children.
- Enjoy well-padded extra seating, always ready for entertaining.
- Top with a tray for displaying objects or serving drinks and snacks.
- Often light enough to move from place to place for more seating when needed.
Find the right shape ottoman for your space:
- Round styles add welcome curves to the straight lines of a room.
- Square ottomans can be an ideal fit with a U-shaped or L-shaped sectional sofa.
- Rectangular silhouettes work well in front of a sofa.
Petite Ottomans: At Home in Many Rooms
Sometimes called pull-up ottomans for the ease of moving them where needed, these pieces make your home more versatile. Consider these uses:
- Keep extra seats close at hand: Flank a fireplace or media console. Set one in a corner or tuck two under a console table.
- Liven up your look: Layer in bright color or rich pattern without overwhelming a space.
- Place a pair or trio in front of a sleeper sofa as a cocktail table: They’re easy to move when you pull out the bed.
- For compact sleeping quarters: A pair can be nightstands or a mini end-of-bed bench.
- In a dressing area or primary bath: Set one beside a tub.
- Try fun options like our petite ottoman with a swivel base.
Add Ottomans Outdoors
For the same comfort and flexibility in your covered exterior spaces, choose ottomans from our Outdoor Custom Upholstery Collection. And include matching ottomans with the luxurious lounge chairs in our MG+BW Outdoor Collection.
MODERN BENCHES
Upholstered benches offer inviting seating for one or more. From a single-seat X-base to a curved waterfall style that brings roundness to a room, they are well-designed decorative pieces, easy to customize in fabric or leather. Among our favorites: leather benches, especially accented with modern hand-sewn grid tufting or channel tufting.
Where Can You Put a Bench in Your Home?
Choosing a classic modern bench in a neutral hue lets you move it from room to room when you redecorate or if your lifestyle changes. Customizing one in a rich color or pattern lets you create a focal point. Here are ideas for including a luxury bench in any room:
Living Room
- Add extra seating to a conversation area, a spot for two by a window or fireplace, a place to put up your feet, or a decorative piece that conveys elegance and sophistication.
- Its lighter weight can make it a good alternative to a coffee table in front of a sleeper sofa; move it easily to take out the bed.
- In an open floor plan, topped with books and accessories, it can go behind a sofa to serve as a room divider and make the sofa back look more finished.
Entryway
- It’s an inviting and convenient spot to stop for a moment, put down packages or put on shoes.
- It needs little more to accompany it than a rug and a mirror or artwork to give your entry great style and make a welcoming first impression when company comes.
Bedroom
- An end-of-bed bench adds style and gives your bed a finished look.
- And it’s practical: Put on your shoes; lay out clothes the night before; pack your travel bag—or pile extra pillows at bedtime.
Home Office
- Its low profile offers extra seating without taking up a lot of space or visually making a room feel more crowded.
- It can also be an extra surface for books or organizing papers when needed.
Hallway
- In a wide hallway, a bench can be a focal point and warm up a space.
- It’s also good for turning niches and landings in small getaways.
Bay Window
- A backless or low-back style lets you relax and take in the view.
- Add a few pillows and a throw to make yourself comfortable.
