Our top tips for choosing the perfect ottoman | Norsu Interiors

                         T H E  U L T I M A T E  M U L T I - T A S K E R 

Ottomans are often an under appreciated workhorse, but this accessory is the ultimate multi-tasker. 

 

With a variety of uses, acting as a side table or simply to stack books or a plant, used to rest your feet or even extra seating when you have guests, the humble ottoman is the most versatile furniture item, both stylish and practical in your home.

The ottoman is truly a piece with longevity and versatility and just like any other piece of furniture, come in different styles, shapes and sizes. Getting the combination right will leave you with a beautiful signature piece for your home.


We break down our top tips to consider when buying an ottoman.

 

1.  U S E
Consider what uses you want an ottoman for.

 

Think through your needs and how you plan to use this ottoman. Also think through how you currently 'live' in the room, so what seating already have as well as the other pieces that play a role in how you use the space. Determining the function at the start of the process will help guide you in the next steps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.  S H A P E
Find a shape that works for your room.

 

From a practical view, you'll want to think about balance and flow, as well as keep size in perspective or you'll loose the functionality of how you walk around the room. If you have a room on the smaller side this is especially important to consider!

A round ottoman creates a softer feeling thanks to the lack of corners making easier to navigate around.

A square or rectangular shape are more of a classic feel and can compliment the hard edges of your sofa. The square shapes work great in pairs as a seating alternative and can be easily moved around as desired, whereas a rectangular shape is a good coffee table alternative or can be used to create a cosy seating nook.

 

 

 

3.  F A B R I C  &  C O L O U R
Upholstery is the secret to the ottoman's endless versatility.



This is your opportunity to add some interest through:
Colour pick a colour that ties the room together, we love a contrasting hue to set off the other pieces in the room.
Detailing small additions such as leather piping really elevate an ottoman and add sophistication
Texture this is our personal favourite as we find it can really bring the room to life, by introducing a tactile element through boucle or luxurious velvet.

    Nothing has seemed more satisfactory to me in recent times than the unmatched and professional services received from SWIFT RECOVERY FIRM when I contacted them following a friend’s recommendation regarding the $340,000 I had lost through a wrong Cryptocurrency investment with a wrong crypto platform. I thought nothing much could really be done before I wrote to them but still decided to give it a try just so I can be sure. Though way beyond my expectations, I got marvelled at the outcome as SWIFT ROCOVERY was able to track and recover my lost money. They are the best recovery firm to handle your case as I can testify to their topnotch services and highly recommend them to anyone going through scam to be sure of a swift retrieval of their lost investment funds, it was a very difficult time for me and my family, I was depressed and even gave up hope of getting my money back until SWIFT RECOVERY intervened in my case turning around my story to a triumphant ending.

    It’s disheartening to see the increasing rate of online theft targeting digital assets, which is causing potential investors to hesitate in embracing this lucrative investment opportunity. I personally experienced a loss of USD274,000 when I fell victim to a Pocket Options Broker I met online. They enticed me with the promise of substantial returns on my investment, but when I tried to access the investment website after a few weeks, I was denied entry. Despite my attempts to contact their support team, I realized I had been scammed.
    Desperate to recover my funds, I turned to the internet for solutions and came across Refund Policy Services .Their reputation for providing top-notch recovery services caught my attention. Taking a leap of faith, I reached out to him and his team and to my surprise, within 48 hours, they successfully helped me retrieve all my lost funds. I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for this exceptional service.
    If you find yourself in a similar situation, I strongly urge you to contact them on :: Refunddpolici (@) gmail (DOT ) com and WhatsApp also: +1 (972) 998‑2755 for outstanding recovery assistance .

    In today’s digital age, navigating the online landscape can sometimes feel like trekking through a treacherous wilderness. Recently, I found myself ensnared in a web of deceit spun by skammers, leaving me feeling helpless and devastated. However, amidst the chaos, I stumbled upon a beacon of hope – a recovery agency that would become my saving grace.
    From the moment I reached out to them, their team exuded professionalism and empathy. They listened attentively as I recounted my harrowing ordeal, offering reassurance and guidance every step of the way. It took us only 48 hours to recover my entire pension which i initially lost.
    their impact extended far beyond mere financial restitution. In the midst of despair, they provided a beacon of light, restoring my faith in humanity and reaffirming that goodness still exists in this digital wilderness. Their unwavering dedication to their clients is nothing short of commendable, and I am eternally grateful for their invaluable assistance. Just as i promised, i will always give reviews about them if i see a chance to, just incase theres anyone who is going through such situation like i did, below is there lines of communication.

    Hello everyone, I am Patricia, I lost over $200.000USD in cryptocurrency thanks to this acquisition strategy; they claimed it would double my income in a matter of days, but it turned out to be a money making scam. Being unable to bear the loss, I sought help from Francisco Hacker through a coworker who had also efficiently used their service to retrieve lost BTC. I got in touch with them and sent them all the information required, and they helped me go through it. I had previously stated that I had lost everything as the new holiday season arrived. All praise goes to Francisco Hacker for keeping me out of worse trouble and making me relevant. I am very appreciative of them, and the least I can do is to spread the news about their vital mission: Contact Francisco Hacker via email: Braxtonquickhackservice@gmail.com
