Sitting Room Ottoman Size

6 years ago

Hi all, I recently purchased an ottoman for my sitting room which is 10x10. It's a pretty open room that opens to the dining room and the hallway. I wanted to put an ottoman and maybe two reading chairs there with a floor lamp and a large canvas hung on the wall are my current ideas. Below is a picture of the sitting room.

Here is the ottoman I have: https://www.bernhardt.com/development/product/colston/ottomans/square-ottoman-0

It's 40"x40" square so it's quite large. Is an ottoman this size too large for a sitting room with two chairs near it or will it balance out? Any help or guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

Do you plan to use the ottoman as a coffee table or for resting your feet?

At 40" x 40" x 18.5" high, that's about 3.4 feet on each of the 4 sides. If it was centered in the room, you'd have about 6'4" on each side of your 10 x 10' room. Maybe you could lay down sheets of newspaper to see if that would give you the room you need for the chairs?

The ottoman is gorgeous, but do you plan to allow drinks to be set on it, with a large tray underneath? I'd worry that without one, that they may tip and spill onto the leather.

@My3dogs ME zone 5A Thank you! No, I do not plan to really have drinks on it but if I did I would use a tray and might do that anyways and decor and staging.
