Wooden ottomans

A wooden ottoman – the versatile beauty for every corner of your home

A wooden ottoman is a practical yet elegant choice when you're looking for a multi-functional piece for a small or flexible living space. Whether it's used to rest your feet, offer extra seating or serve as a tabletop, the natural wooden frame adds both structure and a grounded, organic feel.

At Finnish Design Shop, you’ll find Scandi-style wooden ottomans in a range of shapes and tones – from low and minimalist to sculptural, eye-catching designs that double as decor.

Why choose a wooden ottoman?

• A solid wooden frame ensures your ottoman stays steady and durable – perfect even for seating when needed.
• Combine wood with a soft, upholstered top for that ideal mix of support and comfort.
• A wooden ottoman works just as well on its own as it does as a natural extension of your sofa setup or next to a comfy armchair.

5 ways to use wooden ottomans at home

1. As a footrest: Complete your reading nook by placing a wooden pouf in front of your favourite armchair.
2. As extra seating: A compact wooden ottoman is a brilliant grab-and-go seat that doesn’t take up too much space.
3. As a coffee table alternative: A sturdy wooden ottoman with a flat surface is ideal for holding a tray or drinks in the living room.
4. For storage: Some models come with hidden storage under the lid – perfect for stashing blankets, books or magazines.
5. To define a space: Use one or more wooden ottomans to gently divide an open-plan room or separate a lounge area from your workspace.
