Footstools

Our wonderfully cosy footstools are designed to complement other sofas and seating in our ranges, helping you create a seamless, stylish living space. Choose a footstool with storage to hide away essentials – from scatter cushions and candles to remotes – all while matching the look, feel, and colour of your home.

At Fishpools, you’ll find high-quality footstools and ottomans at affordable prices, with a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials to suit any interior. Pair your footstool with our sofas, living room chairs, or occasional chairs to complete your lounge with comfort and style.

What is a footstool used for?

A footstool is a small piece of furniture designed to support your feet while sitting in a chair or on a sofa, helping you relax in a more comfortable position. Placing your feet on a footstool can reduce pressure on the legs and encourage better posture while seated. Footstools are commonly used in living rooms alongside sofas or armchairs, and some designs can also be used as occasional seating or decorative accents within a room.

What is the difference between a footstool and an ottoman?

The main difference between a footstool and an ottoman is size and functionality. A footstool is typically smaller and designed primarily for resting your feet, while an ottoman is usually larger and may also be used as additional seating, a coffee table or a storage unit. Both pieces of furniture serve a similar purpose in providing comfort and can complement sofas and chairs in a living room setting.

How do I choose the right footstool?

When choosing a footstool, consider the size of your room and how the piece will work with your existing furniture. A footstool should complement the scale of your sofa or chair while still leaving enough space to move around comfortably. It is also worth thinking about upholstery, colour and style so the footstool blends well with your décor while providing the comfort and practicality you need.

From order to delivery, everything was seamless. I received clear updates throughout, and the delivery team assembled the furniture and took all packaging away. I've trusted Fishpools for over 50 years - always reliable. One very happy customer!

It’s rare these days, but Fishpools always does exactly what they promise - on time, every time. The quality is excellent, and spending a little more is worth it for the peace of mind you get in return.

Our 2-hour delivery slot was confirmed by 4 pm the day before, followed by a call when the truck was just 30 minutes away. The fitters were friendly, professional, and efficient - even laying down a runner to protect our hall floor. They made sure I was happy before signing and even thanked me for the tea! Highly recommend Fishpools.
