Benefits of an Ottoman in Your Office Lounge
As you plan lounge spaces for your office, the first two things you might focus on are your coffee tables and lounge sofas or chairs. These are the pieces of furniture that help anchor your space and will be the furniture people use most frequently, so they absolutely are a great place to start. But as important as those pieces are, don’t forget to also think about things like ottomans.
Ottomans can be so much more than just an accessory. They’re extremely versatile pieces of furniture that can make valuable additions to any lounge area. You work hard and so should your furniture. Here are just a few things you can do with ottomans:
Impromptu Seating
Office lounges can go through a lot of changes from day to day. Seating in particular often needs to be rearranged to support the needs of different groups and sometimes, extra seating may be needed to supplement sofas and chairs. Ottomans can be a very stylish and functional solution, offering lightweight seating that can easily be pulled up next to a table or placed off to the side as needed.
Turn Them into Tables
Just as people often need some extra seating in lounges, they may also need some extra tables from time to time. If needed, ottomans can act as a work surface ideal for setting down things like laptops and notebooks. Or if you like to keep books and magazines in your lounge, ottomans can be a great place to display them. Need an option that can be used as seating and a table at the same time? Baseline Benches are available with an optional side table, giving users a convenient place to put their coffee while they work.
Put Your Feet Up and Relax
When you’ve been spending a lot of time sitting at your desk, it’s only natural to want to get up, move around, and change your posture after a while. Even though relaxation is something companies spent a long time trying to discourage, that is quickly becoming a thing of the past and a growing number of companies are now embracing casual, informal environments. When office lounges include ottomans, they can easily provide a footrest for anyone who wants to put their feet up for a bit.
Add a Pop of Color
A little bit of color can go a long way? If the décor of your office lounge needs a little something extra to add some visual interest, try adding an ottoman upholstered in a color that contrasts from the rest of your lounge furniture. You might be surprised what a big difference it can make!
Creative Configurations
Looking for seating that really makes a statement? Arrange a group of ottomans in a unique configuration that can create a focal point in a room. With Alight Bench Ottomans and Alight Corner Ottomans, for example, it’s easy to create the perfect configuration for your space.
