Buttoned Footstools FAQs
What is the difference between a buttoned stool and a standard footstool?
The primary difference lies in the ‘tufting’. A buttoned stool features deep depressions created by hand-tying buttons into the upholstery, creating a classic, quilted aesthetic. While a standard footstool often has a smooth surface, a buttoned pouffe or ottoman adds more architectural texture and a vintage-inspired feel to a room.
Can I use a buttoned footstool coffee table for drinks?
Yes, a buttoned footstool coffee table is a popular alternative to traditional wood tables. Because of the undulating surface, we recommend using a sturdy tray to provide a level area for drinks or decorative items. This allows you to enjoy the soft, inviting look of a buttoned ottoman without sacrificing functionality.
Is a buttoned storage footstool practical for small spaces?
Absolutely. A buttoned storage footstool is an excellent hidden storage solution. It offers the same high-end look of a designer buttoned footstool but includes a lift-up lid, making it perfect for stowing away toys, linens, or magazines in smaller living areas or bedrooms.
