As you prepare the lounge space in your office, the first two things you may consider are coffee tables and lounge chairs. These are the pieces of furniture that anchor your space and are used most frequently, so they make a great place to start. But as significant as those pieces are, don’t forget to also think about things like ottomans.

Ottomans can serve many purposes beyond just being an accessory. These versatile pieces of furniture can be a valuable addition to any lounge area. You work hard and so should your furniture.

From day to day, office lounges can undergo a lot of changes. In particular, seating often needs to be rearranged to accommodate the needs of different groups, and extra seating can be added to complement sofas and chairs. Ottomans can offer a stylish and functional solution for lightweight seating that can be easily pulled up next to a table or placed off to one side when needed.

As people often need extra seating in lounges, they may also desire extra tables from time to time. Ottomans can serve as a worksurface for putting things like laptops and notebooks down if needed. In addition, ottomans are a convenient place for displaying books and magazines in your office.

If you have been sitting at your desk for a long time, it is only natural to get up, move around, and change your posture. Although companies have traditionally discouraged relaxation, this is quickly becoming a thing of the past and an increasing number of companies are now adopting casual, informal environments. When office lounges have ottomans, they can easily double as footstools for everyone who wants to kick back for a bit.

The right amount of color can also make a big difference. To add visual interest to your office lounge decor, try adding an ottoman upholstered in a color that contrasts with the rest of your lounge furniture.
