How to Choose the Right Stool or Bench

Stool or bench — what's the difference?

The FAY is the only standalone stool in this range — compact and round, it works best as a dressing table seat, footstool, or accent piece. Everything else is a bench: longer, wider, and designed to seat more than one person or serve as a statement piece in a hallway or bedroom.

What do I do if I need storage?

Five of the seven pieces in this range include hidden storage beneath the seat — ideal if you want somewhere to tuck away blankets, shoes, or accessories. The Grey Ottoman, Zinc, Emma, and Coco all open from the top. If you don't need storage, the JOY, OLGA, and FAY are the decorative-only options.

Velvet or PU leather?

Most models in this collection are upholstered in velvet — soft, warm, and well-suited to bedroom and hallway settings. The Zinc is the only PU leather option, making it the most wipe-clean and hardwearing choice — better for entryways or households with pets and children.

Where will it go in my home?

The FAY works well at a dressing table or as a bedroom accent. The JOY and OLGA are designed for bedrooms and hallways where decorative detail matters. The Grey Ottoman, Zinc, Emma, and Coco double as functional storage — a smart fit for the foot of a bed, an entryway, or a living room.

Which models have decorative detailing?

The OLGA features beading along the frame for a more ornate look. The JOY has button-tufting across the seat. The Coco stands out with gold legs that elevate a simple velvet bench into a statement piece. If you want something understated, the Grey Ottoman and Zinc are the cleaner, more minimal options.

Need seating for a larger space?

If you're outfitting a full living room or dining area, take a look at the Recliners & Chairs collection for standalone chairs and recliner sofas, or the full Sofas collection for larger seating solutions.
