The advantage of upholstered footstools is their versatility. First and foremost, you create more cosiness with an upholstered footstool. Textile furniture generally emphasises a homely atmosphere and resting your legs on a large velvet stool helps you to relax. A stool is mobile, so you can also use it as a coffee table with a large tray on top. Placed in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, the stool creates an additional seating area without obstructing the view. If you have space in the hallway, you can place this large and wide stool under the wall-mounted coat rack. In this way, it provides storage space, makes the hallway cosy and functions like a shoe bench.
