    Ottomans are used as footstools, but can also be used as a makeshift side table, perhaps to be used for resting cocktails. They usually have four short but wide legs providing stability and ease of mobility.

Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary cocktail ottomans from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.

    The point of an ottoman is mainly to provide a place for you to rest your feet so that you can relax with your legs elevated. The ottoman, originally an upholstered seat or small bench without a back or arms, was a family’s main seating furniture, a way to merge floor seating with cushions and mats. It wasn’t until they were brought to Europe from Turkey, during the 18th century, that it became popular to join ottomans with other pieces of furniture, such as at the base of a chair. Large ottomans can also double as extra seats, and some have hidden storage for throws, pillows and other items. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of ottomans.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023

A person may place an ottoman in front of a lounge chair or accent chair used for reading in the bedroom, or they might position it at the foot of the bed or against the wall so that it can serve as a bench. An ottoman with a hinged top and a hidden inner compartment may serve as storage furniture for bedding, pillows, clothing, shoes or accessories. Shop a large selection of ottomans on 1stDibs.
