7 Living Rooms with Ottoman Coffee Tables

Bonjour and welcome to the Art of the Home gallery of living rooms with ottoman coffee tables…we hope you enjoy the visit!

A versatile living room staple, the ottoman can function as a coffee table, footrest, added storage area or for extra seating. They come in all shapes and dimensions from large couch-sized, square, rounded or small and can be used as a statement piece. By drawing the focus to the ottoman and allowing its character to define the space, these functional decorative accents can be the focal point in an intimate space or can be an extension to another piece of furniture in a larger room. Ottomans have that hybrid ability to match most decors and transform the look of a room with their presence.

As you will see from the photos below, there are several types of ottomans. Ottomans with hinged tops lend a hand as strategic storage spaces for small items from throws, to game consoles, remote controls or even your knitting kit! Kid-friendly ottomans customized with waterproof upholstery can be used for board games or desks for schoolwork. Also, smaller ottomans can be combined to form a coffee table (or tucked underneath) and then can be easily pulled out to be used individually — very flexible setup. From tufted textures to flamboyant animal prints, this hybrid furniture piece can be dressed up in any type of fabric and often becomes the center of attraction.

So if you’re looking for ideas of living rooms with ottoman coffee tables, check the photos we picked for you. We hope they’ll inspire you and that you’ll find a few decoration ideas. Enjoy and beautiful day to you!

1. Pink Eye-catcher…

The Little Plus: the circular pink tufted coffee table. All eyes are on this charmer of a centerpiece in a sweet salmon pink shade that is functional and visually appealing. Large enough to accommodate a coffee tray and flowers and can also work as extra seating in a pinch. Coffered ceiling, pillars and a large picture window add much appeal to this room — dashing! And the candelabra chandelier is the finishing touch to this relaxed room.

2. Vineyard Bed & Breakfast…

The Little Plus: the leather and wood coffee table — rustic and practical. And don’t forget the hidden wicker drawers that are perfect for keeping magazines out of sight and a great hiding spot for the remote! Looking out to the vineyard, the French metal doors are inviting in their simplicity, making you want to stop and stare at nature’s wonders.

3. Nature’s Palette…

The Little Plus: the geometric pattern of the beige colored tile used in this floor-to-ceiling fireplace. Cutting a clean line across the chimney, the white wooden mantel construct is a section for fresh greenery and copper décor. The abundance of push up windows and transoms open this space up making it bright and cheerful in the morning and with the moon casting its glow in the evenings, a relaxing haven to catch up with family. And imagine resting your tired feet on the leather ottoman as the refreshing color palette of this room envelopes you in a warm hug — what a great way to finish the day!

4. Hang with Me…

The Little Plus: the candelabra tree chandelier — so artistic. It brings in a lot of natural elements in the room making it appear like an extension to the outdoors and part of the lush garden. And how about the clubfoot tufted ottoman? Imposing in its size, it serves as center table for a friendly game of chess or maybe a cup of coffee or two. Also, notice the distressed armchairs with a design that marries rattan with a delicate pattern of square mesh caning? Very colonial. And with an open concept style like this, rugs in various sizes and designs play a crucial role in defining separate spaces of the room.

5. History Lesson…

The Little Plus: the nailhead trims on the sofa, loveseats and ottoman (by the way, little piece of trivia for fun…did you know that the furniture nailhead trim innovation traces its history back to the 17th century France when the “Os de Mouton” chairs were first introduced?). Surrounded by this neutral color palette, the rustic nailheads add character and call back the aged hardwood flooring and other brown hues of the room as well as the toasty fireplace with its umber toned surround.

6. She Sells Seashells by the Seashore… …

The Little Plus: the raised fireplace and extended black tile hearth takes center stage — rising to the level of seated guests and giving warm energy to the room. There is an ample supply of Vitamin D provided by the raised ceiling, its side skylight and French doors. And notice, the art piece above the mantel with its various hues calling back all the colors in the room — well done!

7. In the Clouds…

The Little Plus: the curved oversized sofa lets you retreat to the comfort of your home as you relax on this cloud-like oasis. And notice how this sectional could be arranged in a variety of positions if you wanted to. An opulence of curved windows offer panoramic views of the outside and provides no shortage of streaming sunlight or starry night elegance. And last but not least, the beautiful vieux rose topped ottoman invites you to lounge and enjoy the tranquil view.
