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 this footstool for its versatile size and rich velvet finish, which instantly elevates any seating area. It works particularly well in contemporary or luxe interiors, especially when paired with muted tones or contrasting textures for added visual interest. Practical styling tips include using it as a comfortable extra seat or layered with a stylish rug for a cosy feel. Its sleek, black feet make it suitable for both classic and modern schemes, and it can serve as a versatile piece in living rooms, bedrooms, or even as a small statement in open-plan spaces. Pair it with a neutrally coloured sofa or bed to let the rich velvet and bold colour shine.

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.
