When selecting the size of a footstool, it's essential to consider both the dimensions of your space and your specific needs.

They provide a cosy spot to rest your feet without crowding the area. On the other hand, large footstools offer ample surface area, doubling as coffee tables or additional seating options in more spacious environments. Assess the scale of your room and consider the functionality to determine whether a small or large footstool would best complement your space. If you're still unsure, follow our guide on How to Measure for Furniture.

If you want to keep your footstools and other furniture pieces in pristine condition, it’s important that you regularly clean them as part of your regular cleaning schedule. Using a brush cleaner or attachment on a vacuum is the easiest way to keep on top of day to day dust. If you find your footstool is in need of a deeper clean, then you can follow the steps below on how to clean footstools.
Prepare a Soapy Mixture: Start by mixing a small amount of mild soap or detergent with warm water in a bowl or bucket. Ensure that the soap is gentle and suitable for the material of your footstool.
Perform a Patch Test: Before proceeding with cleaning the entire footstool, it's essential to perform a patch test in a hidden area to ensure that the soap mixture does not cause any damage or discoloration. The underside of the footstool may be the best place to do this.
Spot Clean Stains: Dip a clean cloth or sponge into the soapy mixture and gently blot any stains or spills on the footstool's surface. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this may damage the fabric or upholstery.
Clean the Entire Surface: Once you've spot cleaned any stains, dampen a clean cloth, or sponge with the soapy mixture and gently wipe down the entire surface of the footstool. Again, be cautious not to apply too much pressure. You don’t want to saturate the fabric excessively.
Rinse with Clean Water: After cleaning, rinse the cloth or sponge with clean water and go over the footstool once more to remove any soap residue. This step helps prevent the fabric from becoming stiff or sticky after drying.
Allow to Air Dry: Finally, allow the footstool to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid using a hairdryer or placing the footstool near heaters, as excessive heat can damage the fabric. We recommend leaving the stool in a room with the windows open to allow it to airdry or placing it outside in the shade if the weather permits.
By following these simple steps, you can effectively clean your footstool and keep it looking fresh and new for years to come. If you deal with dampness in your home, then you can follow our guide on How to Remove Mould from Fabric, if you find your footstool has been affected. Remember to always refer to the manufacturer's care instructions for specific cleaning recommendations tailored to your footstool's material and upholstery.
Footstools offer endless possibilities for enhancing both the comfort and style of your home. Whether you prefer the charm of country living, the tranquillity of coastal vibes, the elegance of classic décor, or the boldness of modern design, there's a footstool to suit every taste and preference.
