A pouf that opens does three jobs in the space of one: a footstool in front of a chair, an extra seat when people arrive, and a hidden storage compartment for throws, magazines, toys or remote controls. In a small living room or bedroom, that combination is worth more than any single-purpose piece of furniture. The velvet finish is what makes it decorative rather than merely practical — velvet catches light differently as you move around it, which gives a plain room depth. At 43 x 30cm it is compact enough to tuck beside a sofa or under a dressing table. Available in green, beige, pink and grey.

Buying guide
Use the storage for soft items — throws, cushion covers, magazines, toys — rather than anything hard or heavy, since a padded lid is not designed to sit on a rigid load. Velvet shows dust and pet hair, so brush it occasionally with a soft clothes brush and keep it out of direct sunlight, which fades velvet unevenly and permanently. As a seat it suits occasional use rather than a permanent dining chair. In a small room, a pouf in an accent colour does more work than a neutral one, since it is small enough that a bold colour will not overwhelm.
How it compares
Against a plain footstool, the storage compartment earns its floor space twice over. Against a chair, it tucks away and doubles as a footrest. For daily seating at a table, a proper chair with back support is the right choice.
