Whether you're looking for a stylish stool to rest your feet on, an upholstered storage solution that doubles up as a coffee table, or a comfy bench to sit at the end of your bed, there are plenty of wonderful footstools and ottomans on the market.

What's the difference between a footstool and an ottoman?

Though some footstools and ottomans can appear rather similar, they were created with two different functions in mind. A footstool is made to be used as a small stool to rest your feet on, whereas an ottoman can be used as a seat with no backrest.

Nowadays, the lines between ottoman and footstool are typically more blurred. They can also double up as storage solutions – more so ottomans – with the seat part serving as a lid to a hollow box, perfect for storing throws, blankets and linens.

Here are a few of the best footstools and ottomans we're loving at the moment...
