Martha Stewart Has Put an End to Furniture That Lacks in Style and Substance – Starting With This Farmhouse Style Ottoman (With Almost 40% Off)

I'm always on the lookout for furniture that's as practical as it is chic, but finding pieces that fit with my heritage style can prove tricky.

It can be hard to source pieces with plenty of character (as well as functionality), so when I spotted homemaker Martha Stewart's Bedford Furniture Collection, I knew that the hunt for the perfect design was over. Filled with rustic charm, Martha's Wayfair line is undoubtedly chic.

There's a real array of styles, but when I spotted the Cedric Tufted Round Ottoman with Storage, I instantly envisioned the charming little vessel at the center of my home.

Martha has put an end to furniture that lacks in style and substance. With an upholstered seat and handy shelf, the ottoman is the ultimate way to embrace vintage furniture trends while keeping it functional. And with an almost 40% discount, it's hard to resist this rather charming ottoman.

All good ottomans are storage vessels as well as focal points, designed to store away unsightly trinkets and bring centrality to a living room. While ottomans come in a variety of shapes and sizes, what I love about the Cedric style is its timelessness; it's rustic and charming without straying into the overly traditional.

Neutral yet still interesting, it's one of those pieces that isn't hard to style. Whether you slot a rattan tray on its shelf or keep it bare and pair it beside a colorful sofa, the Cedric ottoman will transition into any home. If you want to go full-on country style, Martha's Isla Farmhouse Accent Chair is on sale too, and will give any room a quiet, luxurious feel, particularly when paired with an upholstered ottoman like the Cedric style.

Use it as a coffee table in your living room or slot it into an empty corner. The beauty of Martha's clever creation is its versatility; it's able to transform a simple scheme into an artful arrangement.

Martha's Cedric Tufted Ottoman might at first glance seem simple, but it's the kind of piece that works in all schemes. However you style it, you won't regret investing in this timeless living room staple.
