Return or keep pouf?

I just bought this pouf. I really love the color but just want to get some other opinions to see if it looks okay. Is the size and shape good? Should I get something larger and sqaure or is it fine

    Sorry, it looks silly. Yes, go with something more rectangle

    It’s not working due it’s size, shape and with the chair’s fabric. From further back in your other post, you couldn’t really see the chair’s traditional style. Are you adding for usage or just aesthetics and wouldn't add a pouf unless you find one that works with the chair fabric and prorportions. If you just want to create interest add a lovely cushion or throw.

    Its too small and too yellow.

    Too small and yellow.


    Cameras really are so confusing. The big pic of your room looks like cool colors, the pic with the pouf looks warm.

    It's also a bit too rustic or casual for the other furnishings. One picture is all artificial light, the cooler picture is daylight with the recessed lighting on. That will change the way the entire room looks.

    @maureen I want a pouf because I like to read in the chair and I want it to be more comfortable. I am not willing to buy another chair.

    You would be better off with a slim bench at the foot of the bed. It could serve double duty. You could pull it over a bit when you want to put your feet up - if that is the reason for the pouf. The pouf is not working color, texture and style-wise, and it is also blocking the passageway; although you could keep a pouf next to the chair, when you are not using it. Maybe bring in the camel color that you mentioned you were considering (on another post you had about this room). A pouf or ottoman in a camel faux leather - or leather, if you prefer. And you could keep that piece next to the chair when not in use, so it doesn’t block the passage. Or again, you could alternatively get a slim bench for foot of bed. You could consider the camel color for that, too.

    @freedomplace1 I love the idea of the bench. Could you please share some photos/links of some that you think would look good? Preferably I would love to order from Amazon

    It does look too skinny, too skimpy. I get that you want something to put your feet up on - here are some other ideas in shades of blue:







    What about an actual ottoman - you might get one with storage...

    Not sure that a pouf works. why not a more substantial footstool or ottoman?

    The poufs look cheap and small. They always do.

    Get a storage ottoman 200 bucks and a better size for the chair

    Get two and both can sit together at the foot of the bed if you want

    Solid or pattern 24 x 20 x 18 h

    No odd leg look in front of the wing chair, either. That's a bonus too

    There are some advantages to having a legged bench at foot of the bed. Some designers prefer using a bench with legs there. I do, too.





    But whatever anyone prefers, of course... This is a fun article about choosing a bedroom bench. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/how-to-choose-a-bedroom-bench

    I believe a bench at end of bed may not be as practical for putting your feet up to read, as it might be too high for comfort and you’ll also have to be pulling it back and forth. If too small/short on the other hand, it could feel lost placed there. Maybe just add a foot stool that that can be tucked away on the side when not in use.


    Could test a smaller sized ottoman (buy locally to make a return easier) as it would be more comfortable and proportionate with your chair (if important) and consider its potential for book storage. Can your chair be pulled towards the window slightly and turned on a bit more of a slant if needed?

    You mentioned you preferred Amazon and maybe try Wayfair also - your pictures have variations in chair’s colors, so hard to recommend. Maybe add a throw or cushion to create a nice vignette. If having a hard finding the perfect shade, you could change the cushions on the bed to open up more options.


    Amazon:




    Wayfair - the legs match the chair, as do the decorative nailheads


    A new color scheme opens up choices. (Amazon).

    She won’t have to pull it too far... And if she wants to, she can get a lower bench...


    Obviously an ottoman is also an option... But a bench is absolutely an option, too - and the OP has expressed interest in that option. So it is up to OP what she chooses, as it is her bedroom. Telling her that a bench will not work is inaccurate. She will also have to move the ottoman back and forth too - or it could be a tripping hazard. She will need to station it next to the chair when not in use - so what is the difference? She could easily sit in the chair and slide the bench over.

    It would be helpful to see the rest of the room, as well as measurements, for this thread or the next one you start.

    I don’t see how you’d be able to get to the left side of the bed if an ottoman is in front of the chair.

    Like this Beverly suggests … obviously there’s no way it would fit in your room:



    As Beverly likes to say to others: Really?

    Anyway, I can’t see anything working size-wise other than a pouf or very small ottoman that can easily be moved around as needed. But again — we’re only seeing one angle.

    ETA: Ok, found this pic in another thread:


    I’m guessing the far left door is the door to the hall and the others are closets? Could you move the chair towards the window a bit more and angle it more towards the dresser? Hope that makes sense.

    The point is to sit and READ comfortably?

    There's a reason for ottomans and how they are sized to chairs....it is comfort and proportion

    then you decide what you are willing to pay. Add a throw if you want some pattern or some deeper blue! Good lordy , not that hard: )

    200.00 below, and storage to boot.

    It's a moveable thing... : ) not nailed to the floor at the bottom of the chair.

    That's a definite return. There is plenty of good advice here to guide you in a better direction. Not much else I can add.

    Just a thought about pulling anything back and forth across carpet/rug - doesn't seem like it would move easily unless it had wheels, and could damage the rug over time too.

    And from the alt. view Jilly posted, it looks like the chair could be closer to the window, if desired.

  • 2 years ago

    The chair is really nice and makes quite a statement with the high back. It is also elegant. A rectangle ottoman in a solid bold deep colour would look great, perhaps in an upholstered jewel tone like burgundy or teal or blue. The ottoman you chose is nice too, however it is more of a casual, even bohemian style. I don't think it's a good fit for the style of chair you have chosen, I think it competes with the chair instead of complementing it. It would be better matched with a different type and look of chair. Hope this helps.
