There is an old saying that after a hard day’s work – or for that matter a hard day’s gardening, a hard day’s rock climbing, or even a hard day taking the kids to a theme park – what you then really want to do is to come home and put your feet up.
But the question is, what do you put your feet up on? You can’t really put them on the dog (although some people do: if the dog doesn’t mind, then it’s OK). But for the most part you need a piece of furniture, and that’s called – wait for it! – a footstool. If you have never used a footstool before, you won’t believe just how relaxing it is. Then again, you may have been round to family or friends over Christmas, and you learned very quickly, because they have a footstool.

So now is the time to invest in your own footstool, and it really couldn’t be better because we are offering 10% off for orders placed in January. Just enter “PLANFORJAN” at the checkout.
But what sort of footstool would you like? We have an almost endless choice of designs and materials from which to choose. Many people settle for a black ottoman because you can use it for storage, and black leather has an air of class about it.
If you choose a large black ottoman, you would be surprised at just how much of all that stuff that you keep in the living room it will hold. There are lots of things that we use every day but which you want to keep out of sight when they are not in use, such as your laptop, books, magazines, knitting, card games, kids – sorry, kids’ TOYS! – and more, and these can all go into an ottoman, and it will still have room to spare.
Better still, not only does a leather footstool exude class but it has other advantages too. Leather is associated with the finer things in life. How many Bentleys or Rollers have you seen that have fabric seating? They don’t. It’s leather, every time.
A leather footstool adds a distinctive appearance to your living room when you have guests, and it is also very easy to clean. Spill a glass of red wine or a brandy on a fabric footstool and you have got trouble. Do that with a leather one and you can just wipe it off.
Problem? No problem.
