In a small living room, all your furniture has to work hard, and if it can double as something else? Even better. An ottoman can't just be an ottoman (all that wasted storage potential!); it needs to be functional too, and IKEA's new PS Ottoman with Storage balances both style and function perfectly.

IKEA's PS collection is designed with small spaces in mind, so clever storage ideas feature throughout. And while color and playfulness are central to the range, the storage ottoman is one of the more livable pieces, a versatile design that will add plenty of interesting texture.

Like all good small space furniture, the practicalities are hidden. Open the 'lid' of this ottoman and the design is totally hollow, making it the perfect living room storage idea for blankets, board games, books, or even shoes if needed.

Its rattan texture can add depth and dimension, and its two-toned colorway can bring a level of coziness and warmth. Plus, its mushroom-inspired shape is refreshingly different and undeniably fun. It's the kind of furnishing that'll stand out among the rest without overpowering your space.

This storage ottoman is much larger than it seems. At nearly 25" wide and 16" deep, it's spacious enough to hold as much as you need it to – keeping your home organized and clutter-free in style.

This storage ottoman also has a perfect rating, with only 5-star reviews. One sums it up perfectly: 'A beautiful, high-quality ottoman with plenty of storage space. As soon as the PS collection was released, it caught my eye, even though at first glance it isn’t one of the most eye-catching pieces in the collection. I have it in my bedroom, but it would also fit perfectly in the living room or anywhere else. It adds warmth and texture to the space, while also serving as a true design statement piece. I love it.'

IKEA's PS Ottoman With Storage is evidence that storage furniture that's equal parts stylish and practical does, in fact, exist. This piece can give clutter a proper home, keep your space organized, and look good in the meantime.
