Description
The Balmoral ottoman blends neat proportions with deep button upholstery to create a contemporary take on traditional Chesterfield design. Handmade in Britain exclusively for Heal’s, the Balmoral is built around a hardwood beech and birch frame with turned solid beech feet in matt black stain, walnut stain or natural. Topped with feather wrap foam cushioning for luxurious comfort, each Balmoral ottoman is upholstered in your choice of Designers Guild varese velvet or Heal's own velvet.
Our Stylist Says
I love this stashed, statement ottoman for its bold colour and classic tufted design, making it a versatile piece for both contemporary and traditional interiors. The green velvet adds a touch of luxury and can serve as a focal point in a neutral room or complement other rich textures. It works particularly well in eclectic, modern, or even vintage-inspired spaces, where it can either add a pop of colour or blend seamlessly with deeper tones. Practical tips include styling it as a footrest in a cosy living room or pegging it as extra seating during gatherings. Pairing it with minimalist furniture or contrasting it with metallic accents can really make it stand out, while its sturdy build and sleek feet ensure durability and easy placement.

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.
