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.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
Designed and crafted in Italy - Expertly made with Italian engineering
Hinges, frame joints and upholstery seams should be planned to work together, because the lid can open cleanly while the edges land neatly in daily use. Origin alone doesn't prove durability, inspect the mechanism closely.
Soft velvet-touch finish - for a luxuriously smooth feel
A soft velvet-touch finish creates a luxuriously smooth and inviting surface that adds a touch of elegance to any room. The material's plush feel enhances comfort and provides a lavish aesthetic to the décor.
Oeko-Tex® accredited - free from harmful substances
Fabric surfaces are screened against set chemical limits, useful where bare legs or children's hands touch the upholstery. Certification doesn't make spills, dyes or everyday grime easier to clean.
Arrives fully assembled - conveniently ready to use to save you time
Drawers and frame arrive already joined, leaving you to position the unit and use the storage straight away. Check access first, since tight stairs can make delivery awkward.
Convenient internal storage - for blankets, bed linen and more
Lift-up space beneath the seats keeps spare bedding close, leaving nearby cupboards less crowded when overnight guests stay. Bulky items will make the seat harder to close.
Matching sofa bed available - so you can complete the look
Shared fabric and colour let nearby seating blend with the piece instead of reading as a separate buy in the room. Shared ranges can sell out before you order both items.

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.
