OTTOMANS + BENCHES

Living by Design

At Living By Design, our collection of ottomans and benches is curated for modern interiors that value adaptable furniture and thoughtful design. From sculptural forms to more structured silhouettes, our range of stools and ottomans complements a variety of living spaces while supporting everyday use.

Our versatile ottoman collection

Ottomans and benches are among the most versatile pieces of furniture in the home. An ottoman bench can function as additional seating in a living room, a footrest beside a lounge or a decorative feature in an entryway or bedroom. Compact forms, such as an ottoman stool or ottoman chair, are ideal for smaller spaces where flexibility is important.

For bedrooms, an end-of-bed ottoman adds both comfort and practicality, creating a softer, more considered finish to the room. A bed ottoman can also provide a convenient surface for styling throws, cushions or everyday essentials while helping anchor the overall layout. Many designs in our collection prioritise tactile materials and balanced proportions, allowing each piece to feel refined without overwhelming the space.

Styles and materials to suit every interior

Our collection of ottomans and benches includes a variety of styles perfect for contemporary Australian homes. Upholstered finishes, textured fabrics and natural timber accents bring warmth and softness, while sculptural forms introduce visual interest and depth.

To create a more cohesive living space, try pairing an ottoman bench with complementary furniture, such as fabric and leather armchairs. For entryways and transitional spaces, benches and ottomans also work beautifully alongside hall consoles and entry tables, helping define the space while adding practical functionality.

Practical furniture for everyday living

Many ottomans serve multiple purposes, making them well suited to modern living. Storage ottomans and benches provide a practical way to keep everyday items organised while maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance.

From living rooms to bedrooms and entryways, these adaptable pieces can easily move between spaces as your needs change. Explore additional seating options through our wider range of bench seats, ottomans and bar stools to create a more flexible and cohesive interior.
