• Coffee table ottoman

Unused or old coffee tables can be customized and transformed into ottomans.  This is not a very difficult process because the coffee table already has a table top and legs which can simply be upholstered and turned into a beautiful piece of furniture. If you are a Do-it-yourself enthusiast you could do the upholstering yourself or if not you could get an expert to it.

• Ottoman bookshelf

If you have a small shelf you can have the top upholstered and still have storage for books at the bottom.  This is a great way of adding value to a piece of furniture.

If you have an old chest you can turn it into a functional ottoman with a little creativity.
