Are you thinking about buying a black leather ottoman for your living room? They are perfect for adding a touch of class to your surroundings as well as something to put your feet up on when you have had a long day and want to relax.
Being leather they do not have to match your suite of furniture as leather complements a variety of fabrics.
If you want to maximize the use you get from them, invest in one with internal storage space.
It is handy having somewhere to store your books, magazines, DVD or even some kid's toys and it helps to keep the room looking tidy.
Ottomans come in a variety of shapes including the usual rectangular or square shape.
Some people prefer to buy a black round ottoman as being circular they are a little bit different and will make a great coffee table.
You can select from a variety of finishes with either wood or metal legs being the most common.
They are easy to clean and maintain.
If you have pets, you don't need to worry about molting although you wouldn't want your cat sharpening her claws on this particular piece of furniture.
Most leather items will come pre-treated but if not you can buy a spray that will help to prevent damage from spills etc.
If you are looking for a cheaper alternative you could pick a faux leather ottoman.
Depending on the materials used, you can find ones that are very difficult to distinguish from leather but are a lot cheaper.
They are also easier to keep clean just needing a wash with warm soapy water every so often.
Be careful though not to let the water seep into the seams as it can cause damage.
The secret is to wipe and dry as quickly as possible.
