Versatile Black Ottoman Styles

Make a stylish statement with a black ottoman. At Williams Sonoma, you'll find a wide range of ottomans and poufs in a variety of styles, sizes and colors, including black. There's also stylish seating you can pair with an ottoman, including loveseats and sofas, armchairs and accent chairs, among many other types.

Choosing a Black Ottoman

Ottomans are versatile pieces of furniture because you can use them in multiple ways. They're comfy footrests, but you can also use them for on-demand seating. Some have top surfaces that are flat enough to serve as an extra side table.

Many of the upholstered ottomans at Williams Sonoma can be ordered in your choice of many fabric and color options. The Berkshire Coffee Table Ottoman is one example that comes in everything from black Belgian linen to black Perennials Performance Basketweave -- along with a myriad of other hues, shades and materials.

This coffee-table ottoman has a low-profile design and it's crafted with plush cushions, so sitting on it is very comfortable. Another upholstered style is the Large Deep Tufted Ottoman. This round ottoman is enhanced with sturdy springs for support and has a kiln-dried wood base. The cushioning is ultra-thick and the exterior has deep button tufting for an elegant look.

Another button-tufted style with traditional details is the Fairfax Large Bench Ottoman. Along with the tufted detailing, it has traditional turned legs on casters. When selecting your upholstery style, you can choose from nailhead or self-welting trim depending on the look you prefer. Although you can use this bench ottoman as a footrest, you can also use it to seat unexpected guests or as a piece of entryway furniture.

Go modern when shopping for a black ottoman with the Bauhaus-inspired James Ottoman. Like most of the other upholstered ottomans, this one comes in over 70 fabric choices. There's even Italian leather for the ultimate in luxe living room style. The steel frame can be ordered in a bronze, polished brass or stainless steel finish to complement your upholstery choice and the rest of your home furnishings.

These are just some of the ottomans at Williams Sonoma. Many of these pieces are GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means a third-party lab has tested them and determined they're free from hundreds of harmful substances. Many of the other furniture pieces at Williams Sonoma also bear this designation, and many wood furniture pieces are FSC®-Certified for sustainability.

Chairs and Sofas

If you love the look of matched furniture, coordinate your black ottoman with pieces from the same collection. Many furniture collections at Williams Sonoma contain pieces such as sofas, chaises, accent chairs and ottomans. For a cozy, inviting look that's complementary but not perfectly matched, pair an ottoman with a statement chair or sofa from a different Williams Sonoma furniture collection in the same color.

Throw Blankets and Pillows

Once you've furnished the living room or other space with a sofa, chairs and a black ottoman, you can add accents. A plush area rug under the coffee table is one option, with matching drapes on the windows. A grouping of throw pillows and a casually arranged throw blanket can complete the look.
