Black Poufs

Decorating with a Black Pouf

A pouf is a versatile home furniture option that can serve as a seat, table, footrest, or decoration. Poufs can be used in any room of the home, and if you want a color that's as versatile as the pouf itself, go for a black pouf. A black pouf ottoman can fit in with almost any room because it’s a neutral color. Black goes with everything, and many interior designers feel that every room should have a bit of this color in the design.

How to Pick a Black Pouf

Now that you know you want a black pouf, how do you choose between all of the beautiful options? You might want them all, but your home and bank account would probably prefer you narrow it down to just a few. It can be tough to eliminate options you like, but if you know what you want and how you plan to use the poufs, you can make the process easier.

Unless you’ve already settled on a black pouf ottoman that’s perfect for your space, keep reading for helpful tips. Below, we’ve highlighted some of the best ways to pinpoint what you want so you can make the right purchase the first time.

Color and Pattern

Black can go with most colors, so you don’t need to worry about whether it’ll fit in with your space. But many popular styles use more than one color to give the pouf more visual appeal. For example, you might opt for a black and white pouf or a black and cream pouf. White and cream are neutral colors, so these combos could also fit in with almost any color scheme.

When you add patterns into the mix, you have even more options. A black and white Moroccan pouf with fun designs will look much different, for example, from a black leather pouf with cream-colored stitching. Look at the room that the pouf will be used in the most and pick the color(s) and pattern that you think will mesh well.

Material and Durability

Will your pouf need to be durable to stand up to frequent use or exposure? If so, you might want a black outdoor pouf or a black braided jute pouf for long-lasting beauty. Indoor/outdoor fabric also works well in busy spaces—a black and white outdoor pouf will be easier to keep clean in a home with frequent pet or kid messes, for example.

Size and Shape

Measure the furniture you'll have around your pouf to get an idea of how big you want it to be. And consider which shapes would look best with your existing decor. A large black square pouf will have a much different impact on your space than a small round black pouf.
