Description
Sitting perfectly with the Hampstead sofa range, this ottoman is in keeping with the soft plush design of the sofas. The detail of the turned feet gives an elegant feel whilst the double look cushion adds extra support for your feet. This inviting foot rest suits both classic and contemporary styled décor.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Hampstead large footstool for its versatile, understated elegance. The Melton wool in shale black gives it a sophisticated and durable look, making it ideal for both contemporary and traditional interiors. It’s perfect for adding extra seating or a cosy surface in living rooms or bedrooms, and it works particularly well with neutral or muted colour schemes to bring a touch of texture without overpowering the space. Practical styling tips include pairing it with a plush rug for a layered feel, or using it as a low table with trays on top for added functionality. Its compact size and classic design also mean it can easily sit alongside sofas or beds, making it a flexible piece for a variety of rooms.

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.
