How to Decorate a Living Room Ottoman
Things You'll Need
- Ottoman cover or decorative scarf (optional)
- Serving tray
- Vase
- Coasters (optional)
- Decanter and glasses or tea set (optional)
- 3 art or photography books
Center the ottoman in the location where you'll get the most use from it. A living room ottoman provides double duty as a footstool and cocktail table. Arranging it at the middle of the main conversational seating area achieves the aims of adding comfort to the room and providing a convenient surface for beverages and reading material.
Cover the ottoman with a slipcover designed for an ottoman or with a decorative scarf. For example, use a printed or embroidered shawl that includes one of the main colors of your living room. This offers a convenient way to decorate a faded, worn or mismatched ottoman. If the ottoman is in good condition and goes well with your living room, leave it uncovered.
Add a serving tray to the ottoman. Set it off-center, in reach of the main seating. For example, place the tray to your right-hand side of the center of the ottoman, in reach of your favorite place on the couch.
Arrange accessories on the tray, such as coasters, a vase, tea set or decanter and glasses. Check that you can reach the accessories.
Display three art or photography books on the other side of ottoman. For example, place them to the left of center as you face the ottoman from the couch. Overlap the books like fallen dominoes so that the titles show from the couch.
