Ottoman Chair with Storage

Ottoman furniture is generally versatile and multi-functional on top of being stylish. There are multiple ways to use ottoman benches or chairs with storage to your advantage as it is naturally built to function in various ways. Most ottoman chairs are available in a lot of different designs, sizes, and colors, making it easier for you to find the suitable one for your home. Essentially, you can use ottoman chairs with storage in the following ways:

Footrests

If you didn't know, ottomans are generally built to be used as footrests. It is more amazing to buy a gorgeous glider chair together for exceptional comfort, but any type of ottoman can function as a footrest. You can even buy a matching colored ottoman for your current sofa or chair 🙂

Extra seating

It is common that you run out of chairs when extra guests come over. That is why having an ottoman bench at your home is the best idea. Not only you can kick up your feet and relax, but you can also use it as extra seating when needed.

Coffee Table

Many people purchase bigger sized ottomans to use as a coffee table. Not only it is versatile (you still have a chair and footstool), it adds such an elegant and gorgeous look to the interior. Check out white, gray, and round ottoman coffee tables if you don't believe me. They are one of the best vintage and mid-century vibed furniture out there. You can place your drink tray and add some books & magazines for a more aesthetic look.

Storage

Being able to store your items inside the ottoman might be the best feature of all. While the ottoman itself is space-saving, imagine you could even keep toys, books/magazines, blankets, throw pillows and a lot of other items inside your ottoman. It will keep your room less messy and cluttered.

Below we have included a variety of ottoman chairs, hoping you'll find the one that'll satisfy your needs.

Our first recommendation from Christopher Knight Home features contemporary design, showcasing the combination of minimalist and refined structure. I would say if you are looking for a simple, yet elegant ottoman, this might be the best option. The deep button tufting and diamond stitching create such beautiful modern classics look. The button-tufted stitching in the lid enhances the overall design and adds a touch of elegance. The diamond stitch pattern also adds a bit of texture without creating any uncomfortable feeling.

The ottoman can function as a beautiful chair while storing any additional items. You could place it in your bedroom, below your bed and keep your blankets, pillows. It would also look gorgeous in the hallway where you can keep your shoes, or you can keep it in your living room for keeping books, magazines, and other items. Some of the purchasers even used it for storing the children's toys in their bedroom! This uses pressure hinges so that the lid will stay open on its own and will also ensure a soft close. Therefore, this ottoman is completely safe for children.

There is only one color option available which is dark blue, and I am pretty sure you will love the color. It will go well with darker colored interior and decors. However, the sturdy wooden legs of the ottoman are in dark brown color which can fit well with pretty much any color and design.

I don't even have to mention the versatility of the ottoman. The seat opens to reveal a roomy space for storing things that you want to keep nearby but out of sight such as books, magazines, blankets, throw pillow, etc.

Not only that, you can even choose what type of fabric you want. For example, the black and espresso colors are in faux leather material whereas gray and other colors or patterns are available in cotton fabrics.

The left side of the lounge has a classic wing-back shape that's been built to form a beautiful undulating curve that provides upper body comfort and support. The thick mattress ensures comfort and coziness when you're either sitting or lying down.

The slightly curved backseat provides strong support for your back and head while the pillow can support your lower back. So you won't be uncomfortable when sitting for a longer period of time. Since the top of the backseat is slightly curved backward, you can be comfortably resting your head.

The left side lifts upward to super-sized storage where you can keep your pillows, blankets, coats, clothes, and seasonal accessories. From what I see, since this lounge chair is quite big, you can store lots of items compared to other ottoman benches. With the help of two hinged supports, the lid locks into place when the compartment is open. Therefore, it is safe, especially for children.

Even though there is only one color available, it can pretty get along well with any kind of home interior/decor. The lounge chair is in white brown color, meaning it will blend in well with both brighter or darker colored interior designs. One of the purchasers claimed that it was an ideal piece for small spaces. Plus, the assembly is simple and easy.

Our fourth recommendation is the one that's more ideal for smaller spaces. If you don't want any kind of armrests, backseat, or anything like that, and just a simple bench, you will love it. It is available in multiple colors which means you will definitely find one that fits your interest. Depending on the color option, you are also able to choose from different material types including cotton fabric and faux leather.

The ottoman quality is phenomenal. It is well-built, sturdy, and made with such high-quality materials. "This ottoman is beautiful and looks more expensive than it was. I use it in my guest bedroom at the foot of the bed and it looks great." said one of the purchasers.

But I must remind you that it is not just all simple and humble bench like any other bench. One of the features that I love is the nail head beads placed at the bottom of the bench. The nailheads quickly blend in with the overall color and design of the chair while adding a touch of elegance and luxury to the style. If you are someone who loves black&white traditional and classic furniture, you will love the black faux leather with white silvery nailheads.

Also, this 7th Avenue Storage Ottoman features hinged lid that opens to spacious storage for keeping any items you want as same as our other recommendations.

One of the notable things, which was praised by a lot of customers was that it is incredibly easy to assemble. All you have to do is just screw the four legs into the bottom of the chair, in the appropriate slots with the plastic stoppers given. Easy peasy!

Additionally, I must mention the great customer service. If you encounter any issues after receiving the products, you can contact customer service to solve the problem. However, there are hardly any complaints about the defects from the manufacturer.

Our fifth recommendation got the most positive reviews from purchasers and is the most affordable one. Maybe this Otto & Ben Folding bench is one of the most affordable benches you can find out there. There are several pros and cons you might want to keep in mind.

Firstly, it is not really elegantly or gorgeously designed, but it is definitely built in a very practical functional way. Therefore, if you are not looking for extremely charming designs, but only to take advantage of the bench as much as possible, it might be the best option. As you can see from the name, It can be used as a toy box, especially suitable for the children's room. However, lots of customers used it in different ways.

It can be placed in the entryway to store your shoes, or even in the bedroom for blankets and pillows. Even of the customers bought several one of the ottomans and combined them to create a coffee table! Imagine how much space he will save by storing additional items inside of the ottoman.

You might be thinking that it will be uncomfortable sitting because the storage is so big that the cushion must be thin. However, that is completely false. There is a thick comfort foam-padded top added for anyone to comfortably sit. Also, even though the ottoman is lightweight, there will be no issues regarding the overall quality, durability, and sturdiness. Many of the reviews even mentioned how sturdy the ottoman was.

Another feature is the smart lift top. It is super convenient that there are two separate lids which are functioned to open on either side. Therefore, when you're opening it, you don't have to clear the top all the time. The seating section is made of medium-density fiberboard for sturdy stability and support when sitting.

It requires incredibly easy assembly. All you have to do is just unfold the ottoman and place the base piece and finally add the cover. That's it. The color options are suitable for any home interior or decor. Brown and grey are both in a neutral color to get along well with pretty much any colored interior design. As for the price, I have already mentioned how affordable it is for the quality it offers. You would never regret purchasing it.

Here comes the best ottoman chair for those who are lovers of patterns. I love furniture with patterns myself. Most people buy neutral, dull, darker colored furniture for their overall interior design, and patterns definitely add some color and fun to it. Especially, the one we're recommending from Christopher Knight Home is one of the best.

According to reviews as well as the overall look, the sewing, sturdiness, lines, and upholstery, everything is clean, detailed, and excellently made. With its minimalistic, yet unique design, it can act as a beautiful accent piece in any of your room. I would say this chair features both design and comfort & functionality.

The upholstery fabric is soft and very nice to the touch. When sitting, the plush lid will offer exceptional comfort. The lid features pressure hinges so that the lid will stay open on its own and will also ensure a soft close. So it will be safe for you and your children.

Super easy and simple assembly is required for this ottoman. All of the instructions and tools needed for assembly are included. The color is not too white, it is a little bit on the beige side. I think that's quite advantageous as the ottoman won't get dirty easily. However, since it's made of cotton fabrics, cleaning it won't be a hassle.

Christopher Knight is famous for focusing on even the smallest details to deliver overall sophisticated furniture to its customers. The combination of traditional and classic style always leaves the purchasers satisfied. The reason why I add lots of the products from Christopher Knight is that I personally believe it is one of the best stores out there.

Our last recommendation is the type of ottoman that would last for many years regardless of how much you use it. The quality is good, while it also offers durability and sturdiness, as the customers claim.

It creates an overall beautiful design when placed at the foot of a bed in a master bedroom or guestroom. There are several colors and material options available which you can choose from. I personally love that some of the ottomans showcase brighter and rich colors such as red, dark blue, brown, etc. The rich can blend into the overall mood of the bedroom or living room.

Product Details

The faux leather and fabric material both offer different pros and cons. The ottomans made with leather offer a beautifully sleek and luxurious look while the ones made with fabric create a minimal and warm vibe. Either way, you will be having no issues cleaning and maintaining them.

As for the price, it fully offers what you look for in perfect ottoman benches with storage. In other words, for the quality and functionality, the price is exactly balanced. "You can't buy anything comparable in a furniture store unless you want to spend about 10 times the price. We absolutely love this purchase and plan on loving it for years to come." said one of the customers.

The storage of the ottoman is quite spacious and roomy where you can keep any stuff including blankets, pillows, clothes, toys, etc. Another great feature is the fact that there is no assembly required at all.
