Foot Stools

Our range of footstools not only look beautiful, but are wonderfully practical, offering you somewhere to put weary feet and tired toes, or an extra perch for guests. Elegantly curved, each foot stool is beautifully cushioned for comfort, with hand-turned natural wood feet, and they’ve been carefully crafted to withstand years of use.

More to explore

There's something wonderfully indulgent about putting your feet up at the end of a long day. Our footstools help you do just that – offering a comfy perch for tired toes, an extra seat when friends pop round, or even a handy surface for a tray of tea and biscuits. They're the little luxuries that make a house feel like home.

Styles to suit your space

We've designed our collection with different tastes and interiors in mind. The Clarke range pairs beautifully with its matching sofa to create a relaxed chaise-style end, while the Amelia brings a touch of traditional English elegance with its deep button-tufted top and castor feet. If you're drawn to mid-century design, Saxon's straight, rounded wooden legs offer that Danish-inspired aesthetic. For those who prefer softer, more traditional curves, Dawson features a graceful tailored skirt, while Clara offers simple, timeless style with hand-turned natural wood feet.

Size, shape and versatility

Our footstools come in a range of sizes and shapes to fit your room perfectly. Choose from compact square designs (like Clarke Small at 67cm) or more generous rectangular options (such as Amelia Large at 140cm). Heights vary too – from the low-profile Clara at 31cm to the more supportive Dawson at 47cm. Whether you need something that tucks neatly under a coffee table or a larger piece that anchors your seating area, there's a footstool to suit.

Handcrafted comfort you can personalise

Every footstool is handcrafted in the UK using responsibly sourced timbers and the highest quality materials. Frames are made from birch and a combination of hardwoods, with joints secured using traditional methods. You can choose from up to 58 fabrics – from easy-care House Linen Mix to soft velvets – in colours ranging from calming neutrals to rich, bold hues. Fillings include plush fibre-wrap with self-righting foam centres, or luxurious feather and fibre mixes, depending on the style you choose. Leg finishes can be selected to match your existing furniture or room décor.

Built to last a lifetime

All our footstools come with our 15-year frame guarantee, reflecting our commitment to creating furniture that stands the test of time. Made with care at our workshops, each piece embodies our Signature Cotswold Quality – furniture you'll buy once and love for a lifetime.

What fabric options are available across the foot stool range?

You can choose from 54 to 58 fabrics depending on the style, including House Weave and House Linen Mix, in colours such as Natural, Indigo, Sky Blue, Lily White and Forest Green. Some styles also offer a choice of leg finishes in Light, Dark or Medium wood tones to complement your décor.

Are the foot stools fully assembled on delivery, or is some assembly required?

Some footstools require minimal assembly upon delivery. The courier will attach the feet for you – so you can simply relax and enjoy. For more details about delivery and assembly, please visit our delivery information page.

What are the typical dimensions of the foot stools, and are different sizes available?

Our foot stools come in a range of sizes to suit different spaces and needs. Dimensions vary by style, details of which can be found on the product pages.

How are the foot stools upholstered, and what joinery techniques are used in their construction?

Our foot stools are expertly upholstered with your choice of fabric over a foam filling or a cushioned top with a feather and fibre mix interior, depending on the style. The frames are handcrafted from birch and a combination of other hardwoods and manufactured timbers. Joints are carefully secured using a combination of glue, screws, staples and dowels for lasting strength, with a zig zag sprung base providing support and comfort.

Can fabric swatches or finish samples be requested before purchasing a foot stool?

Yes, you can order up to six free fabric samples to help you choose the perfect finish for your foot stool. This complimentary service allows you to see and feel the fabrics in your own home before making a decision. Samples are delivered within 7-10 working days. Order your free fabric samples here.

How should upholstered foot stools be cleaned and maintained to keep them looking their best?

To keep your upholstered foot stool looking its best, regular care is essential. Vacuum and brush it regularly to remove dust and debris. For spills, immediately blot with a damp, clean white cloth – never rub, as this can damage the fabric. Most of our fabrics are natural fibre blends, so treat them gently. For velvet foot stools, use a velvet brush or gentle steam for light marks, avoiding water which can damage the pile. Give cushions regular plumping to maintain their shape and comfort, and flip them occasionally to ensure even wear. Keep your foot stool away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading. For deeper cleaning, we recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 18 months or so. For full care details, visit our Sofas and Armchairs Care Guide.

Do the foot stools come with a warranty or quality guarantee?

Yes, all our footstools come with The Cotswold Company 15-year Frame Guarantee for added peace of mind. This covers any faults to structural elements including spring breakage, wood breakage and loose joints. The frame is made from birch and a combination of other hardwoods and manufactured timbers, with joints secured using glue, screws, staples and dowels – all built to last. For more details about what's covered, visit our 15-year guarantee page.

What is the returns policy if a foot stool doesn't suit my space once it arrives?

As your foot stool is handmade to order, it cannot be returned unless it's defective or damaged during transit. We understand choosing upholstery is a big decision, which is why we offer free fabric samples – so you can see and feel the quality in your own home before ordering. If you have any concerns about your order, please get in touch with our friendly team who'll be happy to help. You can find full details in our Terms & Conditions.
