The ottoman is an interesting piece of furniture which is easily dismissed a a mere accessory. The word means a number of things, most commonly we mean a low footstool of the type accompanying a reclining seat but the word is also used to mean a low bench, a couch, a divan or a storage box for linen typically used in the bedroom.

The ottoman gets its name from the Ottoman Empire a multi ethnic state that existed froim the late thirteenth until the early twentieth century. It is an emnpire which has varied in make-up and influence but it includes modern Turkey and other middle eastern , mediterranean and North African areas. The word "ottoman" was used to describe furniture items brought back to the West by tourists or designed to have similar appearance.

Ottomans are the perfect companion that provides an extra level of relaxation. Some are artfully structured while others are more practical with storage options. Use them as a footrest and for extra seating when friends pop in. Their versatility will include service as extra seating or for holding beverages and snacks. Gold is a strong choice that is also warming.
