The pouf, new decorative element of the house

Be sure not to confuse it with a small stool for makeup! Much lower, this elegant extra seat, without back, nor armrests, but sometimes fitted with a secret storage space and an integrated footstool, is a piece of furniture in its own right. It is often matched up with an armchair or a sofa when used to extend feet at the same height to relax.

Decorating a home with poufs

Models comprising small expanded polystyrene beads are designed to adapt to the body contours of those who sit inside them. In every style and shape, these decorative objects which have become indispensable, know how to transform themselves into a temporary mini table. They now find their place in each corner of a room and are very practical to host surprise guests.

The all-purpose seat

Comfortable for a reading session indoors or outdoors, solid, easy to upkeep and mobile, sometimes with adjustable small wheels, the pouf joyfully moves from room to room and is back in our interiors starting this fall. Will you know how to adopt and adapt it in order to make it the decorating element that will add a touch of chic to your home sweet home?
