Upholstered Ottomons for a Coffee Table

We are in direr need of a coffee table. It’s a little embarrassing when people come over and they have no place to put their drinks. I’m searching for a upholstered ottoman because I like the soft lines and that the piece can be used as additional seating. My inspiration shot is above. I love this room! I eventually want to pair the ottoman with a nice rolled back striped sofa similar to one shown.

Below are a few ottomans I’ve found online. Word of advice. Tape out the area that the ottoman will actually fill. I thought I needed a much larger version but then when I saw the size in my room I realized I needed to go much smaller. Most of the pieces are available in additional fabrics so don’t be discouraged by the upholstery pictured.

    Cool idea. Feels very Harry Potter, in a nice way.

    Go the ottoman, much more elegant that a coffee table.

    My picks are 1 or 3

    so which one do you like the best? i like the mitchell gold one, but they're all nice. are you going for white? i'd be so freaked to use a white ottoman in lieu of a coffee table, although i love it!

    I am like you and have not found the right middle arrangement so it is barren. Everyone is holding things on thier laps..it's embarrassing. I love the last one. So wonderful but 1,300 just to put trays on it..umm that's steep.love your blog!

    I wouldn't choose white but something dark or with a print. Lee Industries has a few more options on their site including one with storage. My favorite was the mitchell gold version but it's too big I think.
