This Top-Rated Space-Saving Ottoman Doubles as Hidden Storage

You can never go wrong with having a variety of seating and storage arrangements in your home — particularly if you plan on having guests over. Visitors will appreciate having somewhere to sit, and you’ll be grateful for somewhere to put your feet up at the end of the day (to say nothing of also needing a spot to toss last-minute odds and ends before everyone arrives!). That’s why a storage ottoman has been such a reliable option in recent years. It hits all of those aforementioned marks, but finding one that’s practical and stylish can be a challenge. 

We did the searching for you, and the Goldie sherpa ottoman from Linon Home is the ideal contender for flexible and good-looking design. Here’s why it should be delivered to your door before your next big party. 

This unassuming 18-inch square ottoman has been given a trendy glow-up, thanks to tan sherpa upholstery and a wood base that’ll coordinate with many different styles. The top of the ottoman has a removable lid, which reveals an empty interior that can be used for a variety of needs. Fill it with board games and toys if little ones are running around, or stack blankets inside for easy access to movie-night comforts. This ottoman can act as a seat or a footrest as well, as it holds up to 200 pounds, and can wait beside a coffee table or side chair at the ready. When guests are left to their own devices, they can move it around the room as you host. 

If you don’t need an ottoman in your living room, you can also consider keeping one in a guest bedroom. This ottoman can store items like an umbrella or shoe horn for visitors, and can be the place where they sit to get dressed at the beginning or end of the day. By adding this functional and stylish detail, your loved ones are bound to feel more at home.
