When it comes to furniture, the storage ottoman might be the most underrated type there is. Not only do these wonders conveniently stash small home items like blankets, games, and toys, but they also can provide extra seating for guests and (let’s not forget) a place to kick your feet up after a long, hard day.

As I’ve been spending more time at home (and accumulating more stuff in the process), I’ve come to develop a deeper appreciation for storage ottomans and how great they are at helping me organize my mess. While living and working in a rather small space, they’ve really become a game-changer in the decluttering department. Considering that closet space and shelving is rather limited in tiny or shared apartments, a storage ottoman comes in handy to keep surplus home items out of sight and easy to find. Oh, and did I mention they’re also quite stylish? From tufted leather to velvet upholstery, storage ottomans come in a range of fabrics and shapes guaranteed to marry perfectly with your home’s vibe. See what I mean below.
