Sitting Pretty
The right pouf or ottoman
can tie together an entire room.
Here’s how to pick one.
Look for Durability
Ottomans covered with wool or
recycled fabrics are particularly stain
resistant. Some are covered with
rugs; anything designed to handle
foot traffic can be a great foot perch.Go Bold
In a neutral room, try a pouf with
a funky fabric or a punchy hue as
a wonderful way to introduce color,
pattern, and texture. The bigger
the scale, the bigger the statement.Call It a Table
A pouf can work as a side table next
to a chair or even as a bedside table.
Top the pouf with a tray or a stack
of books to create a stable surface
perfect for a cup of coffee or a laptop.SOURCE: Annie Selke, founder and chief vision officer of the Annie Selke CompaniesSOFTEN UP

a round ottoman can
balance out a space
with hard edges
or boxy shapes.SIL
