🪑 5 Creative Ways to Style Ottomans & Poufs in Your Living Room
Ottomans and poufs aren’t just for putting your feet up. These compact, stylish pieces are some of the most versatile tools in home decor — and when crafted with care (like ours), they can completely transform a room.
At BBH Homes, our collection of handmade ottomans and poufs blends traditional craftsmanship with modern form. From buttery buffalo leather to printed canvas and even upcycled tin, we offer over 30 unique designs — each with a purpose, and a place in your home.
Here are five creative, practical, and beautiful ways to style them:
1. 🦶 Use Them as a Footrest
The most classic function — but far from boring. A leather pouf like the Bronson Ottoman or the Regal Repose provides plush support and adds warmth with rich texture. Pair it with your favorite armchair or use two in front of a loveseat for a balanced look.
✅ Tip: Choose tufted or structured designs for a more refined setting.
2. ☕ Turn One Into a Coffee Table
With a flat top and firm filling, many of our poufs double up as soft coffee tables. The Metro Grid Pouf or Cask Hideaway are great choices — simply add a decorative tray to hold candles, books, or a cup of tea.
✅ Tip: This is especially ideal for small spaces where every piece needs to multitask.
3. 🧍♀️ Create Extra Seating (Without Bulky Chairs)
Poufs like the Terracotta Tuffet, Canvas Medley, or The Pollinator are lightweight, easy to move, and great for casual gatherings. Set a few around the coffee table when friends come over, then tuck them away or leave them as decor.
✅ Tip: Mix and match materials — leather for structure, canvas for softness.
4. 📦 Add Storage Without Sacrificing Style
Who doesn’t need more storage? Several of our ottomans come with a hidden compartment under the seat. Try the Numerique Vault Ottoman, Stag Trunk, or Cask Hideaway to keep throws, books, or board games out of sight, but always within reach.
✅ Tip: Storage ottomans make excellent end-of-bed benches too!
5. 🖼️ Use It as a Statement Accent Piece
Some poufs speak louder than others — and that’s a good thing. The Stag Trunk Ottoman, with its printed antler motif, or the Home Bar Ottoman with its cheeky canvas artwork, act as visual focal points that express your personality.
✅ Tip: Use bold pieces to anchor neutral spaces or liven up a reading nook.
