I Shop Homewares Every Day — And Justina Blakeney’s Target Pouf Might Be the Best Find of the Year
This stackable ottoman is the stylish solution to your space-saving woes and seating dilemmas
It’s December, and I’m calling it: Justina Blakeney’s Stackable Pouf from Target might just be the best piece of furniture I’ve seen all year. For just $90, it’s cute — really cute — and serves a practical purpose with its detachable cushions, which can double as floor seating or add extra comfort to existing furniture.
The “Marin” ottoman design, featuring a rust-to-blush gradient and set on wheels (excuse me, casters), looks like it was plucked straight from a chic French girl’s Parisian flat — equal parts vintage treasure and seamstress’ stool borrowed from a fashion studio.
Also available in a cooling blue-green gradient, this pouf is the standout of Jungalow founder Justina Blakeney’s Target Opalhouse collaboration, a line known for its high-end design sensibilities at budget-friendly prices. Among Target’s celebrity collabs, this one might just take the crown.
Price: $90
This fan-favorite design is wrapped in soft velvet upholstery for maximum comfort. Its detachable three-tier structure is secured with a loop and tie cord, easily untied to create three cozy footrests or low-floor poufs. Hosting a crowd? No problem — Marin ensures no one is left standing. And it’s not just me swooning — this versatile piece has earned a near-perfect 4.5/5 star rating from over 245 Target shoppers.
Perhaps it’s because I live in a New York studio myself, but I can’t help feeling that the Marin was made for lofts — gliding through the room, transforming awkward corners, and bringing purpose to undefined spaces. That said, it’s equally at home in other abodes. Need extra seating in the living room? A cozy perch in a walk-in closet? Or perhaps a cushy spot for your coaster and cocktail? Check, check, and check.
Oh, and Marin has a sister, too. Meet “Oliva” — a plump two-tiered design featuring a chic central tie. Warm and inviting, Oliva shares the same versatility as her taller sibling, with detachable cushions that transform into two separate seating options.
Price: $80
Olivia pairs perfectly with Marin — go matchy-matchy with the rust-to-blush gradient, or create a compelling contrast with its cool-toned colorways. Each of Olivia’s cushions is thicker, offering extra comfort for longer floor-sitting sessions — a potential game-changer if extended lounging is on the agenda.
One of the perils of being a style editor is encountering a lot of irresistible pieces, and let me just say: this Marin design is seriously testing my willpower. I’d love to tie back my hands and look away, but alas, I must type. So instead, I’ll live vicariously through you. Do yourself (and your space) a favor — buy this outstanding ottoman so I don’t have to.

Price: $250
Shut the front door — a floor lamp this chic from Target? The faux raffia feels like vacation, while the stacked geometric base lends a stately elegance that looks like it should cost three times as much. It's the perfect overhead lighting alternative to set the mood and add a bohemian flair to living rooms, bedrooms, or lounges.
Price: $35
This oversized bolster is quintessential Justina Blakeney — a multi-hyphenate creative whose expertise in art and design shines through in every detail. Dramatically scaled to span the width of a bed or couch, it makes a fun statement. Pair it with solid tones for balance or channel Justina’s signature style by layering it with other vibrant patterns.
