The shape determines how the ottoman fits into the living room. A square ottoman naturally complements a straight sofa and a rectangular table. It fits snugly against the sofa, extends the seating area, and creates clean lines. The FOLIA Ottoman is a perfect example: placed on its own, it becomes a standalone seat; positioned next to the sofa, it creates a comfortable reading nook.
When the base is accented with wood, the design takes on an even more architectural quality. The FOLIA Ottoman with Wooden Base traces a line of oak on the floor that defines the space and protects the fabric in high-traffic areas.
A rectangular ottoman can be thought of as a small bench. Placed at the end of a sofa, it forms a chaise longue. Placed in front of a bookcase, it becomes a spot for contemplation. The secret lies in the filling: a core of natural latex retains its shape while remaining comfortable.
On the other hand, a compact design complements lively interiors. The PALM Small Linen Ottoman can be moved around as conversations flow, maintains a soft look thanks to its French-woven linen, and offers instant comfort.
The material enhances the perception of the shape. The linen develops a beautiful patina, softens the edges, and catches the light. The PALM Linen Pouf plays on this contrast between a clearly defined volume and rounded edges, creating a warm presence.
If you enjoy arranging furniture, choose a design that’s meant to complement modular pieces. The ARIA Ottoman can be paired with an armchair to create, depending on the moment, a corner seat or a generous footrest.
To create a harmonious look, pay attention to the rhythm of the room. In a very geometric setting, a textured fabric softens the atmosphere. In a space full of curves, a square shape provides a soothing counterpoint. And if you’re still unsure, talking with our advisors will help you tailor the design to your lifestyle.
