15 Best Storage Ottomans if You Need to Stash Extra Sh*t But Want It to Look Chic

I slipped into full-on investigator mode to uncover the elite faux leather storage ottoman on the market. With a 4.8-star rating (yep, nearly perfect) on the Wayfair website and thousands of glowing reviews, it's clear people are obsessed. I <3 that it comes in both easy-on-the-eyes neutrals and bold pops of color to match any vibe.

Glowing review: "Love it! Seems to be well-made and sturdy. We needed an extra seat in my living room, as well as something to use as a landing place for drinks, etc. when we have company over (we don't have a coffee table). It has a dual purpose and it adds a pop of color to our living room."

You’ve probs heard of nesting coffee tables—but what about nesting storage ottomans? Enter this glam duo, with alllll the luxe details you didn’t know you needed. (I mean, the pleating! The gold base! The rounded lid!) When you're not using them, you can tuck the smaller one inside the larger one, which is great to know and all, but I highly doubt you'll be shoving them in a closet anytime soon.

Glowing review: "Not only are these ottomans sturdy, but they are very attractive and fit perfectly in my small place. Because they are nesting ottomans, I can easily store them away when not in use, and the smallest one holds at least three blankets, so it keeps things nice and neat. Highly recommend for both style and practicality!"

This faux leather storage ottoman is probably underpriced considering how innovative it is. One side of the lid is cushioned for propping your feet up or sitting, and when you flip it over, it transforms into a sleek wooden tray with raised edges and cutout handles. You can style it all cutesy with decor or use it to serve up bites and sips. Pretty genius, right?

Glowing review: "I love these! Exactly what I was looking for. Ottoman with great storage space. The extra feature that is very handy is that the top flips over and becomes a tray table, perfect for entertaining!"

This high-end storage ottoman comes in three configurations: a single, a double, and a quad. Pictured here is the double, with a tray on one side for snacks, drinks, etc., and a cushioned lid on the other side for kicking back. The tray and lid can be flipped around as wanted or needed, and true to West Elm’s signature style, you get to pick your fabric choice out of a ton of luxury options.

Searching for the best storage ottoman with wheels? Meet a bestselling option that's tough to beat (trust me, I did the research). It's ideal for anyone who wants a comfy lounge-storage setup that pairs perfectly with a Crate & Barrel couch, because you can choose from their many fabric options—like linen, chenille, and velvet—for both. It's great on its own too, though, and big enough that you can roll it around to use for extra seating.

Glowing review: "We bought this to match our sofa, and love the storage it provides! It holds a collection of books for storytime, and still has room for all my Pilates equipment. The castors make it easy to wheel the ottoman away when it’s time to grab my mat."

If you want a storage ottoman that’s as tailored as a Real Housewives cast member's wardrobe, feast your eyes on this chic design. Seriously, I haven’t seen a mix of fabrics, pleating, and creative details this good in a while; just browsing the options feels like a treat (I'm obsessed with the leopards, aren't you?). Each piece is made to order, cutting down on waste, and the price is more than fair for the level of quality and style you get.

Glowing review: "Okay, this is definitely bigger than expected and I am thrilled! Such a beautifully well-made ottoman and the storage is just what I needed to hold all the things!! They have such a wonderful selection of fabric choices to fit any style. It shipped so quickly, I would definitely recommend. Already looking for my next piece to add to our home!"

Whether your space is decked out in dark wood accents, neutral tones, or you’re just as obsessed with bouclé as I am, this storage ottoman is a good investment piece. First things first, it’s ridiculously luxe—and the customization options make it even better. You can choose from fabrics that are pet- and kid-friendly, stain-resistant, sustainable, and more. Even the legs are customizable, which is a dream for anyone who loves to match their wood tones to a T (🙋).

If ya want a storage ottoman that cuts the clutter and doubles as a chic little table, this one's gotchuuu. It's the dreamiest fusion of cozy and functional with its upholstered base, wood top, and a hidden compartment for extra stuff. You can choose from seven fabric options to make sure it perfectly complements your decor, and the solid lid—the real star here, TBH—is perfect for balancing bevs or even doubling as a WFH desk in a pinch.

This square-shaped storage ottoman is simple yet sleek, with clean lines, tufted waffle stitching, birch wood legs, and a spacious interior that its thousands of five-star reviewers rave about. I'm also obsessed with the fact that the lid stays open for you thanks to the soft-closing hinges. Trust me, it'll save you from getting v annoyed when you're trying to organize.

Glowing review: "I absolutely love this ottoman. I can store all my blankets for the couch in it. It could be good storage for kids' toys, too."

Yeah, I can't help but throw in another bouclé option because, seriously, look 👏 at 👏 it 👏. This piece is living its best life in the kid's section at Crate & Barrel, but don't let that fool you. Reviewers of all ages talk about using it all over the house. Whether you put 'er in your living room, bedroom, or even home office, this beauty is art in storage ottoman form.

Glowing review: "I bought this along with the matching chair for the nursery and it is stunning. I love that it doubles as storage for blankets 'n' such! Great piece. Even after my child outgrows the nursery, I may move this into the living room!"

This rectangular, super-plush storage ottoman flips open to reveal a casual pull-out table inside—surprise! You could literally have a full-on dinner on it if you feel like it, and there’s a whole compartment underneath for storage, too. As far as I'm concerned, it’s a three-in-one piece of furniture that might just change your life—or at least totally upgrade how you function in your space.

As someone who owns Sabai furniture, I highly recommend their sustainably made products. Not just for their obvious aesthetic appeal, but because they're built to last. Each of their pieces—including this plush ottoman—is tested to ensure it can withstand a lot of wear and tear, and Sabai has a "Repair, Don't Replace" program to help you out if any spills or mishaps happen. You can also pick from three eco-conscious fabrics (hemp-blend, recycled velvet, and upcycled-poly) in a range of super-chic colors.

Glowing review: "Love love love this!!! The color is amazing and I liked how it didn’t come with any plastic, but did come with a very handy tool for assembly. I was nervous about velvet and my dog’s nails, but it’s very sturdy and there has been no problem with her jumping on it."

This adorable llama-shaped ottoman stands out from the rest on the list—and for good reason. (I'm smiling like a freak just looking at it.) It’s made for a little one’s room but guaranteed to bring joy to anyone who sees it. The fact that you can store toys inside is just a bonus on top of all that cuteness.

Glowing Review: "The fabric feels great and the overall look is fun. As soon as it was taken out of the box my toddler went crazy thinking it was a wonderful new toy for him. A surprising amount of toys fit into the storage space. It’s the perfect height as an ottoman for adults."
