Description
Create a statement and pair your sofa or armchair with the Eton footstool, a mid century style that gives a look of luxury and offers a relaxed feel. This footstool combines a sleek, minimal aesthetic with the design details you would expect from Heal’s. The legs are available in a choice of brass plated alluminium or blackened aluminium finish for a contemporary look.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Eton footstool for its sleek, modern appeal and plush velvet finish, which adds a touch of luxury without feeling overly formal. The black fabric with brass feet makes it versatile enough to work in contemporary, art deco, or even eclectic interiors. It’s perfect as an additional seating option or an effortlessly chic footrest in living rooms or bedrooms. Practical styling tips include mixing it with other textures like leather or wool for layered visual interest, and placing it near statement sofas or armchairs to create a balanced seating arrangement. Given its size and sturdy build, it also works well as a small side table topped with a tray for drinks or decorative accents, making it both functional and stylish.

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.
