Footstools and ottomans are wonderfully versatile pieces. They are great for putting your feet up after a long day, they act as extra seating when you have company, they can substitute for a coffee table when topped with a tray, and some even have hinged tops to provide storage space.
A bench in your front hall or mud room is a great place to perch while changing footwear, one in your bedroom provides a comfortable place to sit while dressing, and at the dining room table they can accommodate a variable number of guests.
