About the Vicenza Ottoman Footstool
Last checked
Velvet-touch upholstery is the defining spec on the Dreams Vicenza Ottoman Footstool, with teal and mustard finishes pushing it towards accent furniture rather than plain bedroom storage. Storage is deliberately shallow here. At 18cm, the internal compartment is useful for loose cushions, folded throws, spare pillowcases or a light blanket, but it is modest beside a full ottoman bench or blanket box, where the furniture is built around capacity rather than decoration. It is styled before it stores. That is the main spec call: the Vicenza is a compact upholstered footstool first, with secondary storage added for everyday clutter, a fair balance for this type of piece but not generous if the brief is serious bedding overflow. The velvet-touch fabric gives the soft, plush feel associated with upholstered bedroom suites, though it should be read as a tactile finish rather than the heavier-duty proposition of a flat-weave storage chest. For completing the Vicenza range or sitting with a sofabed, the design leans into colour, texture and occasional seating more than raw litre-age.
At the foot of a bed, beside a sofabed or in a lounge-bedroom crossover space, the Vicenza works best where a small landing point for cushions and throws is more useful than a bulky chest. Room position matters with this footstool. Praise tends to focus on the soft fabric, the smart colour-led look and the way it pairs with existing seating or bedroom furniture; the better feedback also presents it as sturdy enough to feel like proper furniture, not just a decorative storage box. The capacity caveat is real. Although the description mentions blankets and cushions, lived-with feedback narrows that promise: spare cushions, sheets and smaller throws are realistic, while a duvet is where the 18cm compartment falls short. One note about the top feeling slightly unusual reads more like an individual texture preference than a repeated fault, because the stronger pattern is positive on touch, appearance and usefulness for small items. The Vicenza suits someone wanting a colour-matched perch with light storage and a soft upholstered finish; anyone trying to hide winter bedding, spare duvets or a household’s linen overflow will be better served by a deeper blanket box, ottoman bench or storage bed category.

Must admit, the soft velvet fabric is a dream to touch and the additional storage, though not as much as I'd like, has been handy for storing smaller items. Real Italian craftsmanship is clear, a humble addition to my lounge area.
Complete the Vicenza range with this handy foot stool. The stool has plenty of storage to keep spare cushions, blankets stored away nicely.
wish it was more room for storage. wanted to put a duvet but can only fit a few sheets
A great match for my sofabed with added storage as well, what's not to like.
Slightly odd texture to the top, but very well built, lovely piece of furniture.
