Storage footstools are very much in fashion today as a multifunctional and stylish home decor item. Just put one in your bedroom, living room or home office, and you instantly have a comfortable place to put up your legs, a discreet place to stash your stuff, as well as an attractive conversation piece.
In order to make the most of a storage footstool, it is important to choose one that fits your needs, as well as the aesthetic of your house. Here are some factors for you to consider when looking for a footstool with storage for your home-
- Storage - The capacity of a storage footstool is an important factor to look for when buying. Think about the intended function of your footstool and what you want to store in it, and buy something appropriate. The storage requirements for a blanket or winter clothes are quite different from shoes or books. The storage options range from open metal racks to enclosed spaces, so it is important to carefully consider your storage needs before buying
- Size - It’s also important to think about where you’ll keep the storage footstool and what size of footstool will look best there. Storage footstools can range from small pieces that fit in a tight space, or large options that can double as benches or even coffee tables!
- Material - The material of a storage footstool is an important part of how it fits in with the rest of your house. Of course, colour is hugely important, and it’s crucial to choose one in a matching shade, but the material also has a big impact. The options for the frame include wood and metal, and the cushion could be cloth or leather. Consider the materials used in the rest of the room, and pick accordingly.
- Style - This is probably the most important factor when it comes to how the storage footstool fits in with the rest of your room. It decides the ‘feel’ of the furniture piece
For example, if your house has a lot of clean lines and a modern aesthetic, a square storage footstool will fit right in. On the other hand, if you want your house to give off a cosy and warm vibe, a round, cushioned one might fit in better.
Weighing all these factors before picking a storage footstool to spruce up your home will ensure that your choice is both functional enough to fit your needs and is congruent with the decor and aesthetic of your home.
