- A pouf in the Moroccan style is suitable for an oriental-style bedroom. The product will add originality and aesthetics to the bedroom.
- Unusual modern interiors are decorated with furniture of an original form, various types of textures and finishes in bright colors.
- To decorate a room outside the city, you should choose furniture with a graphic ornament in the form of patches. The original graphic design of the outer upholstery of the pouf will fill the room with warmth and calm atmosphere.
- For lovers of multifunctionality, there are products that can be transformed into a small armchair, bed or coffee table.
- The color and choice of shape depends on the purpose of the ottoman and for which interior it will be purchased. If the furniture plays the role of an independent element of decor, then you should choose a product of bright juicy colors. To match the color of the ottoman with the tone of the room, you should pay attention to the shades of the bedspread and the floor covering, or play in an original way with the color scheme of furniture with the color of a floor lamp, table lamp or chair.
- If the bedroom is decorated in light and warm colors, a white or beige ottoman will suit the style. Milky colors give the room an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
- Of course, the quality of the product plays an important role in the choice of any attribute of the bedroom. When buying a bench, you should make sure of the high-quality performance and processing of seams. The thickness of the threads on the trim should correspond to the density of the material. If the product is stitched with coarse threads with delicate textiles or thin threads with dense upholstery, then this indicates a poor-quality product. The neatness of the seams also matters. The trim should be sewn with a straight stitch.
- To choose a durable and reliable model, you should take into account the density and quality of the material. Durable material is not subject to abrasion and fading, is resistant to damage. In this case, products with eco-leather upholstery will be an excellent addition to the interior. The products are soft, reliable, comfortable and stylish in appearance.
- Bedside products with a back or a drawer should be chosen based on the area of the room and focusing on the interior of the bedroom. Banquets with a back are most often stylized in a classic style, have legs and smooth lines.
- Using a pouf with a drawer saves space and frees up space from unnecessary things. When choosing a pouf with a place to store things, you should pay attention to the ratio of the dimensions of the product and the size of the room.
- Maintaining the harmony of colors with the style of the bedroom plays an important role. The main selection criterion is the combination of the shade with the texture of the upholstery material. For example, white velor upholstery will fill the room with a warm and cozy atmosphere, and a white ottoman with leather trim will add solidity and sophistication.
