A foot stool can convert to another furniture piece away from the indoor traffic flow.
A foot stool offers a convenient rest for weary legs, yet sometimes becomes a portable obstacle or tripping hazard. Hiding the foot stool can include converting this furniture piece as a practical addition to your home. Does this Spark an idea?
Hiding
When living space is at a premium, especially when guests gather, the foot stool can hide in a closet or trunk. A small, low foot stool can hide under a coffee table covered with a tablecloth. This furniture piece, wrapped under protective canvas, can even stay outside temporarily on a covered back deck or balcony, depending on weather conditions.
Recycling
Some foot stool styles serve a second purpose as a storage container. The ottoman style with a removable or hinged lid transforms into a handy storage area for board games, couch throws and cushions. Near an entrance, a covered foot stool can hold visitors' handbags, and backpacks. A foot stool can even convert to a pet bed.
Redecorating
A foot stool can convert to a small table or coffee table with an attractive fabric or small tablecloth adapted to the stool's dimensions. Placing a firm platform of material under the cloth can help level an uneven top surface. Depending on the room's layout, the foot stool can act as an end table or side table beside a couch or bed away from the flow of foot traffic.
