25 Cozy and Chic Ottoman in Front of Fireplace Ideas

No place on earth rivals the coziness of being perched on an ottoman in front of a fireplace. The variable sizes and shapes of ottomans make them the perfect accessory to go alongside any fireplace. Choose a couple of cube ottomans for a smaller fireplace or a more obvious bench style for fireplaces with a larger frame to make your living room an oasis of warmth.
You may find that there is not always room for a coffee table and an ottoman or that they simply cannot coexist. Luckily, ottomans aren’t just for seating. They are multi-purpose pieces that can double as coffee tables with a more cushioned frame. You may even find that you prefer these pieces to a coffee table once you see how stylish they look when topped with a tray of accessories.
Finding the perfect pieces for your living room depends on the space size and style, so explore all your options when searching for the perfect ottoman to sit beside your fireplace, even if they are a little quirky!

Pro Tip: Ensure Your Peninsula Meets Your Intended Goal
Kitchen
Samantha Hiatt

Learning To Love a Peninsula (Even If You’d Love an Island)

At face value, you may not know the difference between a peninsula and an island in a kitchen. Because both offer extended counter space with optional bar seating, they are seemingly the same until you get to the details. A peninsula is anchored to a wall in the kitchen, creating an off-centered appearance depending on how your kitchen is designed. On the other hand, an island usually stands in the middle of your kitchen, offering access to all sides. https://www.realhomes.com/advice/kitchen-peninsula-vs-island

What you choose for your space depends on how you want your kitchen to flow. With both, many options are available for appliance and cabinet placement to fit the needs of your home and family. Our experienced readers and team of interior designers share the benefits of both styles and explain in great detail how to ensure that you’re making the best use of what is available in your square footage and layout. Read on to see just which option is the best for your home!
