A piece of furniture goes beyond mere functionality and is often used for its decorative value above all. You may not even need it but it draws the eye in, creates excitement and adds value to an environment. Its purpose is to add style and definition to an interior space.

The role of furniture in your home is to enhance your surroundings by offering degrees of usefulness, colour and design style. The furniture should fit into its surroundings for a purpose but over the years it has evolved into something simply "decor".

Here at Footstools Direct we manufacture premium quality handmade seating, such as cube and round stools, small to large footstools, ottomans and much more. These seats are usually placed to make an impression or to catch ones eye. Our products are designed to complement a rooms décor and to emphasise a space so that pieces compliment the rest of the environment. Will a boxy footstool that is flush with the ground co-ordinate better with the clean lines of your existing furniture or is your style more traditional thus making a footstool with carved legs a better choice?

With a choice so wide there is no better place to search for footstools than here at Footstools Direct. The range offered by us is large enough to satisfy the most discerning furniture buyer. Shape can be organised to fit into the smallest or largest of interiors and we have a massive range of colours, fabrics and materials to choose from.

When selecting seating that is right for you and your space, it is a good idea to apply pressure to it to ensure it is sturdy enough to withstand the pressures of your larger guests. Don't forget to size cubes, drum stools and benches to make sure they complement your sofas and chairs. Appropriateness of scale is an interior design skill many practitioners ignore at their peril.

Our furniture should never make you feel awkward in your space. When choosing footstools or pouffes, measure the height of the sitting area of your sofa or chair to ensure that your feet will rest comfortably. To improve circulation issues in the legs a stool should fall slightly below the sitting position such that an average seating height of 400mm should be reflected in a footstool 40mm lower etc.

Price is often a consideration, and we just know we provide best price for your footstools. Not to mention our excellent customer service and quality products Here at Footstools Direct, you will soon find the perfect piece custom designed to your taste, specifications and your budget.
