How to Use an Ottoman as a Coffee Table

 Place a large wooden tray on your ottoman surface to create a stable platform for drinks, books, and objects.
 Choose a tray at least 60% of the ottoman surface for visual balance.
 Round trays look striking on square ottomans, and vice versa, creating an elegant contrast of shapes.

Ottoman & Pouf Buying Guide

Ottoman vs pouf: ottomans are rigid, box-shaped, and foam-filled they hold their shape and support more weight. Poufs are softer, rounded, and compress slightly under weight.
 For homes with young children, choose rounded poufs or ottomans with no sharp corners.
 Storage ottomans provide hidden storage for throws, magazines, and remotes, a smart upgrade for living rooms.
 Size guide: an ottoman used as a coffee table should be proportionate to the sofa - 1/3 to 2/3 the length of the sofa.
