Will a footstool suit my living room?
Footstools have plenty of benefits that make them a great addition to your living room.
For starters, they’re the ultimate comfort upgrade. After all, there’s no better feeling than coming home, sinking into the sofa, and stretching out your legs on a plush footstool after a long day. Why not treat yourself to some proper comfort as you unwind?
What’s more, you can actually use these nifty pieces of furniture as additional seating for guests too. Gone are the days of friends and family using coffee tables as makeshift seats or parking their bums on the floor; a footstool offers guests a convenient place to plonk as you catch up over a cuppa.
Are there different types of footstool available?
Of course! We’ve got space-saving, storage-optimising, and statement options to choose from, so whatever your thing, DFS has the footstool for you.
Looking for a footstool with storage? Our storage and ottoman footstools are just what you’ve been searching for. Featuring hidden storage space that’s easy to access by just lifting up the top, you can easily store living room luxuries like throws, cushions or even kids toys until they’re needed.
Don’t forget to explore different sizes, too. Our small footstools are the perfect fit for a studio apartment, promising comfy convenience that lets you save on floor space. However, for something on the larger side, check out our bench-style large footstools - sure to make a bold, eye-catching statement in any space.
How do I choose a footstool?
Naturally, you’ll want a footstool that matches your décor - and we’re here to help you find it.
We’ve got a range of colours to explore, so you’re sure to find one that fits your thing. Most of our sofa ranges include hand-picked matching footstool options, so you can find one that it the perfect complement to your sofa. But there’s no reason you can’t mix it up! For an understated Scandi look, why not go for a grey footstool, like our Steller Express Storage Footstool, sure to bring calming, restorative vibes to your living room? Or, if you’re feeling bolder, a green footstool is the perfect addition to bring a lush pop of colour to a quiet luxury lounge.
And why stop at colour? You can also co-ordinate your footstool to your sofa material! A leather footstool is ideal for the more rustic home, offering style by the bucket load, while the chic look of velvet fits a more vivacious space. Last but by no means least, a fabric sofa and footstool combo is a timeless classic you can never go wrong with.
How do I style a footstool?
A footstool might be practical, but that doesn’t mean it can’t look the part too. With the right styling, your footstool can become a standout feature that ties your whole living room together.
For a cosy, lived-in look, try placing a soft throw or a stack of cushions nearby to create an inviting spot to kick back and relax. Or, if your chosen piece has a firmer surface, it can even double up as a stylish alternative to a coffee table. Simply add a tray with candles, books, or your favourite cuppa for a homely finishing touch.
When it comes to placement, think about balance. Position your stool in front of your sofa for that classic laid-back feel, or move it to the side when guests come round for flexible extra seating.
The best part? However you style it, a footstool brings both form and function to your space, making your living room feel even more warm, welcoming, and wonderfully comfortable.
