The perfect companion to any sofa or chair.

01The Sofa

Hand Built Tufted Ottomans

There is a moment at the end of a long day when you sink into the sofa and instinctively reach for somewhere to put your feet, and a Chesterfield ottoman is the piece that quietly answers that need without ruining the look of the room. It carries the same deep button tufting and the same hand finished upholstery as the sofa it sits beside, so instead of feeling like an afterthought it reads as part of the design from the very beginning.

Most people come looking for a footstool and leave with something considerably more useful than that. A Chesterfield ottoman works as a coffee table when you lay a tray across it, as extra seating when friends turn up unannounced and as a soft landing for feet, books and the occasional sleeping dog. It is one of the very few pieces of furniture that genuinely earns its keep in a small apartment and a sprawling family room alike.

02WHY

Why a Chesterfield Ottoman Changes a Room

A living room can look beautifully put together and still feel slightly unfinished, and more often than not the missing element is something low and soft in the middle of the floor. Sofas and armchairs push seating toward the walls while an ottoman pulls everything back toward the center, creating that comfortable conversational circle good interiors always seem to have.

It gives you somewhere to stretch out without swallowing the floor area, a full Chesterfield chaise lounge demands, instant extra seating when guests arrive and a far softer alternative to a glass coffee table if you have small children running around. Storage versions swallow throws, controls and clutter as well. Compared with a chain store footstool, ours is built around a proper hardwood frame protected by our lifetime frame guarantee, so it holds its shape for decades rather than collapsing into a sad little pancake after two winters.

03THE CHOICE

Leather and Fabric Options

Every Chesterfield ottoman comes in more than 100 premium leathers, velvets, wools and linens along with a choice of wood finishes for the feet, so the piece can either match your sofa exactly or deliberately stand apart from it.

  • Leather Chesterfield Ottomans

    Leather is the material most people picture when they think of a Chesterfield and it looks particularly good on a smaller piece where the buttoning sits close to the eye. Our full grain and semi aniline hides develop a natural patina over the years, softening around the buttons and deepening in color until the ottoman looks like something you inherited rather than something you ordered.

    Rich tan, chestnut and black remain the most popular choices and all three sit comfortably alongside almost any leather Chesterfield sofa you might already own. Leather is also gloriously low maintenance, which matters enormously on a piece that people will inevitably rest coffee cups on. Our leather collection page shows how each finish behaves in different lights.

  • Fabric Chesterfield Ottomans

    Fabric gives an ottoman a softer personality while opening up a far wider spectrum of color and texture. Velvet is the showstopper because the pile catches the light around every button, which is exactly why a velvet Chesterfield sofa and a matching velvet ottoman make such a persuasive pair. Linen and wool blends suit family living, while tweeds bring warmth into a room and hide everyday wear better than most people expect. Browse the fabric collection and order free swatches to compare colors against your own walls before committing.

04SIZING

Shape, Sizes & Layouts

Choosing the right ottoman is mostly a question of proportion, because a piece that is too small disappears into the room while one that is too large becomes an obstacle course between the sofa and the door.

Round ottomans soften rooms full of straight lines and work beautifully in front of a fireplace where people naturally gather in a circle. The Armitage Chesterfield Ottoman is our most requested round design and looks especially striking in velvet where the buttoning radiates outward across the top.

Square and rectangular shapes echo the geometry of a sofa and slot neatly into the space in front of it without leaving awkward gaps at either end. The Conrad Chesterfield Ottoman comes in five sizes and pairs perfectly with the wider Conrad family, while the Milan and Montana designs offer similar versatility with different proportions and button detailing.

Smaller ottomans are wonderfully useful in bedrooms, home offices and reading corners where a full sized piece would be too much. The Kensington and Richmond ottomans both work brilliantly at the end of a bed and make a lovely companion to a Chesterfield wingback chair in a corner set aside for reading.

Before ordering it is worth checking a few things:

  • The height of your sofa seat, since an ottoman should sit level with it or slightly below
  • The gap between sofa and ottoman, which ideally leaves around 16 inches of legroom
  • Doorways, staircases and access routes for delivery day

Because everything is made to order, custom sizes are straightforward for us to accommodate.

Styling a Chesterfield Ottoman

A Chesterfield ottoman behaves well in traditional and modern interiors alike, and a few small decisions completely change the mood it creates.

  1. Match it to your sofa for a coordinated look that feels intentional rather than accidental.

  2. Contrast it instead, pairing a tan leather sofa with a deep green velvet ottoman for real personality.

  3. Lay a wooden or brass tray across the top and it becomes a coffee table nobody can bump a knee against.

  4. Group two smaller ottomans together in a large room for flexibility when people come over.

For something with more character, our patchwork sofa collection combines tweeds, velvets and wools into one of a kind designs that turn even a modest footstool into a talking point.

06care

Care and Maintenance

LEATHER
Needs dusting with a soft dry cloth to stop grit settling into the buttoning, conditioning every 6 to 12 months to stay supple and a little distance from radiators and direct sunlight.

FABRIC
Benefits from regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment, prompt treatment of stains before they settle into the fibers and a protection treatment if you have children and pets.

07MAKING

How Our Ottomans Are Made

Every piece is handcrafted by experienced craftsmen in our British workshop before being delivered to your home anywhere in the US within 8 to 10 weeks rather than assembled on a production line. Frames are built from solid hardwood using traditional joinery, which is why we back them with a lifetime guarantee, and the deep buttoning is pulled by hand so every row lines up across the top. Our custom order page covers the full process.

08Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an ottoman and a footstool?

The terms are used almost interchangeably in the US. Ottomans tend to be larger and more likely to work as a table or extra seat, while footstools are usually smaller and designed purely for resting your feet.

Can I use an ottoman as a coffee table?

Absolutely, and it is one of the most popular reasons people buy one. A firm tray on top gives you a surface with none of the sharp corners that make glass tables such a worry in homes with small children.

Should my ottoman match my sofa?

Matching creates a polished look while contrasting adds character. Both work beautifully, so order free swatches and compare them in your own light before deciding.

How long does delivery take?

Your ottoman is handcrafted to order and typically arrives within 8 to 10 weeks with white glove delivery included and all import duties covered.
