Large Footstool FAQs
How Do I Choose the Right Size Large Footstool for My Sofa?
When selecting a large footstool, aim for a height that is level with or slightly lower than your sofa’s seat cushions for maximum comfort. A large footstool works beautifully with corner sofas or grand four-seaters, ensuring the piece doesn't feel lost in the room’s proportions.
What Are the Benefits of a Large Storage Footstool?
A large storage footstool is the ultimate space-saver. It provides a generous surface for relaxing while doubling as a hidden chest for living room essentials. A large footstool with storage, like the Pip, features high-quality hinges and deep compartments to help keep your home organised.
Can an Extra Large Footstool Be Used for Additional Seating?
Absolutely. Our extra large footstools are built with sturdy, kiln-dried hardwood frames, making them perfect for use as an occasional seat when hosting guests. They offer a comfortable, soft-edged alternative to traditional chairs, especially when they’re teamed with a complementary scatter cushion.
Which Fabrics Are Best for a Large Footstool?
For a large footstool that will see frequent use, we recommend our family-friendly fabrics or heavy-duty linens. These are durable enough for feet, trays, and pets, ensuring your large footstool remains a beautiful fixture in your home for years to come. For a more luxurious touch, why not choose a supple velvet fabric or a premium wool? Both are still extremely durable, but ideal for adding to a formal sitting room. If you’re struggling to decide, we offer complimentary fabric samples so you can see how the fabrics, colours and textures look in your own light before committing to your bespoke large footstool.
