Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is this compact ottoman suitable for a small apartment or studio?
This ottoman is specifically scaled for urban apartment living or smaller multi-purpose rooms. Its 16-inch diameter provides a minimal footprint, allowing it to be easily tucked away or bunched together with other pieces. Despite its compact size, the gold-finished stainless steel base and velvet upholstery make it a significant style statement that adds a "luxe" feel without overwhelming limited square footage.
How do I ensure this ottoman is the correct height for my sofa?
To provide the most ergonomic support as a footrest, an ottoman should stand at the same height as your sofa’s seat cushions or roughly one to two inches lower. This ottoman stands 18 inches high, which is a standard height that pairs seamlessly with most contemporary sofas and accent chairs to ensure a comfortable, level resting position for your legs.
What is the best way to maintain the gold base and velvet upholstery?
To preserve the high-end finish, our care guide recommends dusting the gold stainless steel base with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaks. For the black velvet, regular light brushing or vacuuming will maintain the fabric's nap. In the event of a spill, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth; for deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, ensuring you follow the manufacturer's instructions to protect the material's sumptuous texture.
What are the benefits of choosing a round ottoman for a living room layout?
A round ottoman is an excellent strategic choice for improving traffic flow, especially in high-traffic areas or smaller living rooms, as its lack of sharp corners makes it easier to navigate around. Design-wise, a circular piece like this helps to "soften" a space dominated by the rectangular lines of sofas and entertainment centers, creating a more balanced and inviting aesthetic.
Can a small ottoman like this be used as a coffee table substitute?
Yes, this ottoman is highly multi-functional and can serve as a "cocktail" surface in smaller seating arrangements. Because of its 16-inch diameter and plush surface, we recommend placing a decorative tray on top to create a stable, flat area for drinks or remotes. The gold stainless steel base provides the structural stability needed for this dual purpose while maintaining a luxurious vibe.
Is this velvet ottoman durable enough for a home with pets?
Velvet is often a preferred material for pet owners because its tight weave is inherently resistant to snags from claws compared to traditional looped fabrics. On this specific ottoman, the plush velvet allows pet hair to sit on the surface rather than becoming embedded in the fibers. Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to keep the fabric pristine and free of dander.
