A handmade pouf can highlight your room's decor by adding in a new texture, pattern, and/or color. When you look at these three facets, you can connect your pouf to your wall art, pillows, and other decor through similar use of texture, patterns that showcase similar designs, and colors that are in the same families and convey the same mood. When you choose a pouf that accentuates your other decor, you allow each piece of decor to be highlighted, since each item is working together as opposed to competing for dominance.
Even though poufs have only become popular fairly recently in terms of interior design, you'll find that handmade poufs don't just fall into modern and contemporary designs. You can find poufs that are traditional, nautical, boho, or whatever style you're looking to create. Whichever way you're leaning stylistically, you can find a handmade pouf ottoman that matches your personal style.
As you shop for your perfect handmade pouf, consider these key areas to narrow your search and help you find your ideal pouf.
Purpose: Handmade poufs are multifunctional, so you can use one however you want to. You may use it purely as decoration, but you can also use it as a handmade ottoman pouf where you rest your feet. Other common uses include using it as a small table, a spare seat, or some combination of these functions.
Size, Shape, and Structure: After you determine your handmade pouf's purpose(s), it's time to focus on the size, shape, and structure of the pouf. For the size, think about how wide and tall you need it to be to serve your primary functions. The shape of your handmade pouf ottoman can be determined by what other shapes you include in the room, or you can use your pouf as an opportunity to add a unique shape. Finally, the structure is how dense it is, and what purposes it can fulfill. Choose a firm pouf if you want something sturdy enough to be a side table, or if you just want a comfortable spare seat, choose a handmade pouf that's more plush.
Fabric/Material: The material not only affects the tone of the pouf, but also its practicality. Handmade poufs are available in many different materials like wool, cotton, jute, and many others. The material affects the softness of the pouf as well as its durability, so choose a fabric that meets your practical needs. Even if you plan on using your pouf indoors, you can still shop through outdoor poufs, which are still stylish and comfortable, but they have the added bonus of being very durable.
Pattern: Some handmade pouf ottomans will come with patterns imprinted into the fabric, while others may use texture and different pile heights to establish the design. One popular weave is the cable-knit pouf or jute weave. Other poufs have geometric designs imprinted in the fabric itself or designed through different heights of the pouf's material. When you're shopping through patterns, find one that fits with your overall style and has similar shapes/tones to the other decor.
Color: It's imperative to be intentional with your handmade pouf's colors. Neutral tones like beige, white, and grey are common choices that work well with a variety of interior design styles, but there are other colors like blue, green, gold, and even more hues that can come in enough shades to fit into any style. Choose a color that compliments your existing decor and strikes the proper tone so that it helps create your ideal mood and fits with your home.
