Great Ways To Use An Ottoman In Your Cafe

Furnishing any café from scratch can be fun and challenging but even more so when space is somewhat limited. Making the most out of smaller spaces requires both ingenuity and a good mix of products to deliver both a feeling of uniqueness and practicality. One such piece of furniture that fits all these criteria is the Ottoman.

No longer just a piece of furniture that a traveller (or rather modern day shopper) can rest their weary legs on, they can be used in a wide variety of ways to add both beauty and functionality to your establishment. Here are some great ways in which you can use them.

Low lying coffee table
Conventional low lying coffee tables can be a danger especially in busy establishments. They have sharp corners that can be dangerous to children or that adults can bang their shins on. Instead you might want to consider an Ottoman. From a practical point of view they’re round, so no sharp corners and make for a stylish substitute low lying table.

Great for filling awkward spaces
Every café has them! You know, those awkward spaces where it’s hard to squeeze a full table and chairs in. Well how about using an Ottoman as low level seating. It would look great in a corner next to a fire place. They can also be brought out and placed in areas where seating is needed, especially during the busy times and for this reason make for a perfect emergency seating plan so that you don’t end up turning customers away.

Ideal for themed café’s
The Ottoman is ideal for a themed café such as a Middle Eastern or ‘chill out’ inspired area, so why not take it one step further and cover them with a beautiful throw for a truly eye catching effect . Alternatively use them at the side of a café sofa covered with a tray for a convenient and practical place to rest drinks onto.
