Our Stylist Says
I love the way this footstool’s russet and black colour palette adds warmth and richness to a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary spaces with a muted or neutral base, offering a splash of colour without overpowering the room. Its velvet cover provides a soft tactile element that invites use, whether as a footrest or additional seating. Practical styling tips include pairing it with plump, neutral-toned sofas for contrast, or using it to anchor a seating area in a more layered scheme. Its compact size makes it versatile, so it can fit comfortably into smaller rooms or be used as an accent piece in larger living spaces. Overall, it’s a stylish and functional addition that can elevate and personalise a room effortlessly.

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.
