Wooden Ottoman Stool | Nordic Upholstered Vanity Stool & Low Step Stool for Living Room, Bedroom & Office, 3 Sizes in 6 Colours

An upholstered ottoman on turned solid wood legs — the Nordic mid-century form, where the leg is the design and the seat is simply a cushion resting on it. Slim tapered legs lift the seat clear of the floor, which does two useful things: it makes a small room read as less cluttered because you can see under the furniture, and it makes the stool trivial to vacuum around.

Three sizes and six colours. The small works as a vanity or dressing stool, the medium as a footrest by an armchair, the large as genuine extra seating at the end of a sofa or bed. Colours run from the safe neutrals — white, grey, black, brown — to green and orange for a room that needs one point of colour. Solid wood legs mean it takes an adult's weight properly rather than flexing, and the upholstered seat is firm enough to sit on comfortably for the length of a dinner party. It works equally well as a low step stool in a kitchen or dressing room, an office guest seat, or a bedroom perch.

Choosing tip — for a dressing table, measure the desk height and subtract about 28cm; that's the seat height you want. Most people buy a stool too tall and end up sitting with their shoulders raised.
