Our Stylist Says
I love this ottoman for its versatile design and neutral tone, making it a great addition to many interior styles from contemporary to more relaxed, understated schemes. Its natural beech feet add subtle warmth, while the smart cotton linen in Sahara keeps it looking fresh and crisp. It's ideal as a footrest in living rooms or even as a cosy occasional seat in bedrooms or studies. For styling tips, play with layered textures and different textiles nearby-think soft throws or patterned cushions-to add interest. Its compact size makes it practical for smaller spaces, but it also works well in larger rooms as a subtle statement piece. Overall, it’s a reliable, stylish option that offers both comfort and understated elegance.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
