Curated Finds for Susan | Transitional Coastal Ottomans

Design Lab Hero Image — (Image credit: Future)

Inspired by your brief, I've curated a selection of ottomans that reflect the relaxed, layered feel of a transitional coastal home. As the size and ivory sherpa finish were quite specific, I also wanted to include a few textured alternatives that are well worth considering, broadening the options without moving away from your overall vision.

I hope this edit gives you plenty of inspiration, and that one of these pieces feels like the perfect addition to your living room.

Adeline Round Coffee Table in Cream

This is closest to the sherpa finish, the soft ivory upholstery still delivers the light, tactile look the brief calls for. Its simple shape keeps it transitional and easy to style within a coastal scheme.

Bodhi Ottoman

While this moves away from the ivory sherpa finish in the brief, the soft oatmeal tone upholstery is a lovely alternative to consider. It leans into a relaxed coastal look while bringing the same warmth and texture, with the added practicality of hidden storage and a nesting pouffe.

Although labelled a footstool, this piece is definitely versatile and can be used as an ottoman in any space. The elevated light wood legs makes it visually lighter and the cream upholstery brings an effortless and warm look.
