The advantage of upholstered footstools is their versatility. First and foremost, you create more cosiness with an upholstered footstool. Furniture with a textile cover basically generates a homely atmosphere. And putting your feet up on a large velvet stool is known to promote relaxation. A stool is also a flexible piece of furniture that, if necessary, you can use as a coffee table if you put a tray on top. Placed in front of floor-to-ceiling windows, the stool allows you to create an additional seating area without obstructing the view. If you have space in the hallway, you can place this large and wide stool under the coatrack on the wall. In this way it provides storage space, makes the hallway cosy and provides seating while you put your shoes on.
