Ottomans - rest your weary legs - and (in many cases) use them for storage as well. Many are designed for use as extra seating or tables and also feature lift lids so you can store reading materials, remotes and other essentials. For outdoors, you'll find designs in teak that are both beautiful and long lasting. But they make great freestanding pieces as well - with lots of uses. Brown provides a deeper neutral base in decorating.
