A comfortable and full interior of the hallway can be called only when different elements harmoniously complement each other, creating a cozy atmosphere. The ottoman is not just convenient and practical furniture, but also a great opportunity to beautifully decorate any empty corner of the room. With this approach, the design of the hallway will become more stylish and complete. In our article, we will consider all varieties of ottomans, their functionality, placement, as well as a simple master class on creating this original upholstered furniture.

This original furniture is not only soft and comfortable, but also a variety of appearance and design of the product. The most popular varieties of ottomans can be called a pouffe-chest, Moroccan pouf and transformer.

A ottoman-chest of drawers is a relevant and practical model of furniture, which is an additional mini-cabinet for storing clothes or other things. The storage is located in the interior of the product.

The Moroccan ottoman looks like a large cone-shaped pillow made of pieces of fabric or leather shreds. Unlike a pouffe-chest of drawers, this type is made without built-in legs, due to which it seems more spacious. It can also be universal in use. For example, serve as a bedside table or an unusual coffee table.

The pouf-transformer most often has the form of a large cube and is fully consistent with its name. It can easily turn into a chair or chair. It is worth noting that the design, color palette and size of each of the presented poufs has a huge variety of options.

Before proceeding with the selection of the pouf, you need to study in detail its design, as well as the composition of the material, which can be completely different. For example, the body of a product may consist of such elements: metal, plastic, vine, chipboard, wood.

Metal ottomans are famous for their durability and ease of care. The disadvantages include only a lot of weight. Plastic is lightweight and has a huge variety of shapes. Particleboard material imitates the appearance of wood, but is significantly inferior to it in terms of operation criteria. A wooden case is not a cheap pleasure, but the quality meets high standards of environmental friendliness and aesthetics. Products made from vines also look beautiful and are famous for their durability.

Upholstery is also selected individually according to the personal preferences of the buyer. It can be silk, velvet, velor, jacquard. The first two types of fabrics are very pleasant to the touch, but require careful care. Velor and jacquard are ideal for small-size ottomans in the hallway. Leather upholstery will look very original and stylish.

In order for upholstered furniture to correctly place accents in the hallway and fill the room with comfort, you need to know the main criteria for the right choice. These include such important points:

1. If you have chosen a model with legs or wheels, check their stability and the absence of any cracks.

2. If the choice fell on a pouf-transformer, then you need to look at the ease and reliability of all connections and mechanisms.

3. The material of the product must be environmentally friendly and safe for health. If this tree, then you need to clarify what substance it was polished, if it is chipboard, then it is worth remembering that the composition is able to secrete toxins.

4. To save space in a small hallway will help ottoman, which will become an additional box for storing things.

5. The model of the pouf should be in harmony with the general style of the room.For example, a pouf with leather upholstery is perfect in a hallway in a classic style, and a pouf-transformer will complement the hallway in a modern style.

6. Check the product for too sharp corners. This will help avoid injuries in the future.

On the Internet you can find many workshops on creating a beautiful ottoman for the hallway with your own hands. But the most popular and creative option is a pouf made of plastic bottles.

For the first type of needlework you will need liter or two-liter plastic bottles. In the first case, the ottoman will be higher, in the second - low. First you need to arrange the bottles (with screwed caps) so that they stand tight to each other. Then fix them (more conveniently in the form of a square) using a large wide adhesive tape.

Next, we prepare a durable cardboard, synthetic winterizer and thread with a needle. We are preparing a pattern of two cardboard circles of the desired size (medium or large) and place them on top of the bottles and under them. Again we fix everything with tape. We take a synthetic winterizer (which will serve as a soft pad), cut out also two circles and a strip. The strip should be equal to the height of the intended pouf. Carefully put the elements on the base and with the help of a thread we connect the top with the bottom. Now it remains to sew or buy a ready-made fabric cover, and a simple original ottoman is ready!

If you decide to create yourself not only the basis of the pouf, but also the cover, then you need to make a sheet pattern. For products of the cylindrical type, it will be a circle and a wide strip equal to the height of the pouf. For cubic - the same strip, but in combination with a square. Do not forget that the cover can be decorated with side pockets, bright buttons, unusual beads or sequins.
