‘Real show piece’ £180 ottoman that ‘looks beautiful in bedroom’ slashed by £90

Homeware lovers say it adds a ‘classy feel to the room’ and is ‘pure luxury’

Adding additional storage to a lounge or bedroom can prove costly, but it needn’t be. Often essential for stowing away more unsightly items such as toys, blankets, bedding and towels, an ottoman can be the ideal way to make use of dead space.

Storage items that also double as stylish decor pieces can often be the way forward, adding texture and interest to a room without compromising on practicality. Now, we’ve spotted a stylish half price Upholstered Ottoman Blanket Box at Bensons For Beds, and it’s less than £90.

The box in question comes in a chic cream velvet design which has been cut from its original selling price of £179.99 to £89.99. The navy, emerald, oyster and pewter colours are still full price at £179.99, but homeware fans who wish to opt for these shades don’t need to miss out on a saving as they’re shoppable in a buy one get one half price deal.

Back to the cream velvet design, and the box is also ideal for those who loathe DIY since it comes totally assembled. Fully upholstered and finished with luxurious-looking premium velvet, it boasts two deep drawers which are ideal for storing bedroom essentials.

For those wondering if the storage box will fit their desired space, the dimensions come in at a generous height of 50cm, width of 120cm, and the depth is 45cm. Elsewhere, Dusk is offering the chic Soho Rectangle Ottoman Storage in a Sand Stripe design for £179.

Meanwhile, home retailer Dunelm is selling the Faux Linen Bed Ottoman for £40 in a variety of colours. Rated 4.9 out of five stars by shoppers, it’s certainly a popular choice among the retailer’s customers.

Homeowners in the market for a new bedside table may also wish to consider Bensons for Beds’ Upholstered Bedside Table which also has 50% off. Also available in the neutral cream velvet design, it can now be nabbed for £64.99 instead of £129.99.

With a tempered glass top that adds a practical yet pretty finish, the item features two deep drawers and also requires no assembly on arrival, making it a popular choice. One purchaser said: “Beautiful bedside table.

“We got them to match the bed and they look very classy. Even better they come assembled, so one less thing to build.”

It seems Bensons for Beds shoppers also can’t get enough of the Upholstered Ottoman Blanket Box if its reviews are anything to go by, with one buyer who awarded the item five stars saying: “Beautiful, large, strong blanket box. A real show piece. Very pleased.”

Meanwhile someone else praised the box for its ‘luxurious’ design, writing: “We absolutely love this ottoman. It’s very well made and pure luxury.

“It looks fantastic in the bedroom and holds all of our spare bedding/pillows. We highly recommend.”

A third commented: “Really adds a classy feel to the room, also comfy to sit on when needed.”

It is worth noting that one customer deducted a star as they had experienced a minor issue with their product, saying: “Nice and decent amount of storage space inside. Only downside is that the buttons seem to be loose already and it’s only been a month of use.”

Despite this, someone else used the box for hiding kids’ play items, commenting: “We bought this as a storage solution for our kids toys in the living room. Definitely does the trick!

“So many toys can be hidden away! The unit is well made and materials are high quality. I especially like the quiet close.”

Another said a family member had liked the item so much they rushed to nab their own, writing: “Gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful upholstered ottoman.

“The colour, the quality and the size made it all the more of a bargain as I ordered at sale price. Would have paid full price for the quality of it though.

They continued: “The amount of storage space is amazing. Looks beautiful in my bedroom. My mum bought one when she saw mine.”
