Boucle Storage Ottoman

A bouclé storage ottoman is a multifunctional upholstered piece combining soft, textured bouclé fabric with internal storage capacity. These ottomans offer seating, footrest functionality, and discreet storage, making them versatile for both residential and commercial interiors. In trade and commercial contexts, bouclé storage ottomans are specified for their combination of tactile appeal, practicality, and ability to complement contemporary, mid-century, or Art Deco-inspired schemes.

How It’s Used in Commercial & Trade Interiors

Bouclé storage ottomans are widely used across trade-led interiors, including:

  • Serviced apartments and build-to-rent properties, providing flexible seating and storage in compact spaces.

  • Hotel suites and hospitality rooms, where they offer guest seating while concealing additional storage.

  • Show homes and marketing suites, adding a design-led, lifestyle-focused element to living or bedroom zones.

  • Office lounges and reception areas, supporting informal seating and clutter-free surfaces.

Trade buyers prioritise size consistency, durable upholstery, and reliable availability, particularly when multiple ottomans are required across a development.

Materials, Design & Build Quality

Bouclé storage ottomans are typically constructed using:

  • Solid or engineered wood frames, ensuring structural strength and longevity.

  • High-density foam padding, maintaining shape under frequent use.

  • Bouclé upholstery, valued for texture, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.

  • Lift-up lids or hinged tops, providing secure, practical storage compartments.

  • Metal or wooden legs, often finished to complement the upholstery or surrounding furniture.

For trade buyers, key considerations include fabric durability, frame stability, lid reliability, and finish consistency, ensuring ottomans meet the demands of hospitality and residential use.
