Description
Add a cosy touch to your living room with this fluted footstool. This versatile design is perfect as a footrest, extra seating, and even comes with storage space so you can pop off the top to tuck away blankets or throws when not in use. The underside of the lid is coated with matt black melamine, so when the lid is flipped the footstool can be turned into a handy side table. The piece is available in a variety of fabrics to suit your space.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this little footstool for its versatile design and soft colour palette. It works beautifully in contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired interiors thanks to its rounded shape and muted tones like lilac, forest green, and midnight navy. It’s a practical piece that can serve as extra seating, a cosy footrest, or even a side table when topped with a tray. For styling, I’d suggest pairing it with neutral tones to let the colours pop or mixing it with textured fabrics like boucle or velvet for added visual interest. It’s ideal in living rooms, bedrooms, or even a cosy reading nook, offering both style and function without overpowering the space.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
