It is difficult to imagine a room, be it an apartment or a house, that would have cost without a sofa. Manufacturers offer a huge number of options that involve different ways of folding, upholstery types, parts and accessories, colors. The most comfortable is a soft corner with ottoman. The ottoman sofa is a very functional piece of furniture that is in high demand in the market.

This piece of furniture came to us from a sunny and warm country called Turkey. The Turks were the first to appreciate the functionality of the corner sofa. An ottoman is nothing but a pouf, which is made in the same style and of the same material as the sofa. But you will find in stores and contrasting models.

An ottoman will be a great addition to the interior: for some it is a support for the legs, and for others it is a stand for drinks. Moving the ottoman to the couch, you organize another seat.

Designers develop models that combine the incompatible. You will find the most unusual and unusual solutions for the living room and other rooms. There are several forms of sofas with ottoman:

• corner;
• round;
• straight lines.

Ottoman copies the shape of the sofa, and therefore can be angular, round, rectangular. You can arrange it at some distance, especially if the sofa is with a retractable ottoman. Different this element of furniture and size.It all depends on the size of the room, interior design, tastes of the owner. Which one to choose - a larger or more compact version is up to you. So, when buying a corner sofa, the ottoman completely fits into a corner. Usually ottoman moved away from the sofa at a distance of about 30 centimeters.

Due to the fact that the ottomans are home to eastern countries, at first this piece of furniture was soft and looked like a small sofa covered with carpet. The details of the decor were pillows, fringe, capes of various fabrics. The convenience of such a sofa was no different, but it was at the same time a great place to lie. Therefore, the ottoman is a bit similar to the sofa - its Turkish "sister". And although modern ottomans are performed in many variations and styles, the sofa with a pouf remains a reminder of established traditions, which should not be forgotten.

Traditionally, a sofa with a pouf is considered the main element in the room. But more and more often he is assigned a secondary role.Combining a sofa with an ottoman, you get a designer. Only two elements in the set, and so many possible combinations with which you can modify the space, change the quality of the room itself or the interior of the bedroom:

• An ottoman can act as a coffee table. This is the most popular use of the pouf in view of convenience, since it is smaller in size than a table. It has no sharp corners, and upholstery is different elasticity, which is enough to hold, for example, trays with food or drinks. Another plus is practicality, as the ottoman, if necessary, can easily be transformed into a sofa. It is possible to have a base and legs, made of wood or upholstered in fabric. The ottoman with wooden legs is often used only as a table.

• One of the traditional ways of using an ottoman is to use it as a seating area. If you buy a few puffs, they can be a substitute for classic chairs or armchairs. The undoubted advantage is the significant savings in space in the room. The lack of armrests and back, as well as the small size of the pouf allow it to be hidden under the table.
• By placing one huge sofa and a few poufs, you will create an excellent seating area. A definite plus is the mobility of this piece of furniture. At the right moment you can move it to another room; to commit such actions with the chair will be problematic. If you decide to get an ottoman as a sitting place, consider its upholstery, hardness and shape.

• Ottoman as a bed for the legs - a great way to relax and spend a good evening at home watching a movie. Usually such a padded stool with fabric upholstery is located close to the sofa. An ottoman remains at the same time as a table where you can put some things. The best option is a square or rectangular pouf.
• Rarely used as an ottoman chest for storing a variety of gizmos. Very few people will guess that the ottoman is a warehouse of various things that is inaccessible to the guests. But you use the working space of the bedroom or any other room to the maximum. You can fold pillows, newspapers, books, toys and more.

The choice of a particular model depends on where you plan to place the sofa:

• For the nursery more suitable practical sofa with colorful and picturesque pattern. If the sofa also has a sleeping place for the child, then the product should be equipped with a good and safe transformation system. Choose upholstery with high resistance to moisture and wiping.
• Living room sofa better to buy with a sophisticated design. It should also have increased comfort. If the living room is made in the style of Provence, the sofa can be with floral decoration, if in modern (minimalism, loft, etc.), then a bright, catchy sofa with a geometric print should be preferred.
• For the bedroom It is also recommended to purchase a sofa with a transformation system and a reliable metal frame. Upholstery should be practical and harmoniously combined with other elements of the interior.

The Ottoman has a lot of advantages: both multifunctionality and beauty, which it gives to the interior, making it more refined.The downside is that the corner sofa requires a large amount of free space. In small premises such furniture will have to be abandoned, especially if the room acts both as a living room and a bedroom. When choosing furniture, weigh the pros and cons.
