A large square ottoman is one of the most versatile furniture pieces you can have in your home. Here are the most popular and practical ways to use it:

1. Hidden Storage Solution
Lift the lid to reveal a spacious compartment perfect for:

Blankets and throws

Toys and games

Books and magazines

Remote controls and electronics

Seasonal décor or clothing

It’s a great way to keep your space tidy and clutter-free.

2. Extra Seating
Sturdy and cushioned, square ottomans can serve as additional seating for guests in your living room, hallway, or bedroom. Many models support up to 250 lbs or more.

3. Coffee Table Alternative
Place a tray on top, and your ottoman instantly becomes a stylish coffee table. Use it to hold drinks, candles, books, or flowers.

4. Footrest or Leg Support
Unwind after a long day by putting your feet up. The soft top makes it a comfortable and supportive footrest in front of your sofa or chair.

5. Bedside or Entryway Bench
Use a large square ottoman at the foot of your bed for extra storage and as a place to sit while dressing. In the entryway, it’s ideal for putting on shoes while keeping items like scarves and gloves stored inside.

6. Portable & Foldable (if applicable)
If your square ottoman is foldable, it can be easily assembled or collapsed for moving, storing, or taking to dorm rooms or temporary living spaces.

Pro Tips:
Add baskets or fabric bins inside to organize small items.

Use drawer fresheners or sachets to keep the interior smelling clean.

For fabric ottomans, consider using a fabric protector spray for longevity.
