Outdoor Ottomans

Get started with some inspiration in our gallery of Outdoor Lounge Ideas. When determining which outdoor ottoman is right for you, measure your outdoor space to determine if you want a small ottoman just for one lounge chair, or a big ottoman for a large sofa or sectional. Some outdoor spaces can accommodate multiple ottomans or poufs, providing versatile lounge options.

Another detail to consider is whether you want an outdoor ottoman with storage inside. Then decide whether you want an ottoman on legs or with a base that goes down to the ground; we recommend ottomans with legs for use on grass or sand. Another factor to consider is that round ottomans are easier to walk around.

Finally, consider the existing materials in your space, and choose an outdoor ottoman with a fabric or material combination that has coordinated colors. If you have existing Room & Board lounge furniture, there are likely outdoor fabrics available on our outdoor ottomans that match your existing lounge furniture.

Consider a square outdoor ottoman if you like the look of lines aligning across your lounge furniture. Maybe your outdoor sofa or chair is square or rectangular, in which case a square ottoman could provide a coordinated look. 

Consider a round outdoor ottoman if your area has a lot of foot traffic around it, and you don’t want to bump your foot on a corner. Not only are round outdoor ottomans or poufs easier to walk around, but they provide a slightly gentler visual silhouette, which can contribute to a relaxed feeling in your outdoor space. If you have round end tables nearby, a round outdoor ottoman could echo their shape in a pleasing way.

Choose a fabric outdoor ottoman or pouf for the ultimate indoor lounge feel, outdoors. Our outdoor fabrics are designed to weather the outdoors while giving you the familiar comfort and style of indoor fabrics. If you have a fabric outdoor sofa or sectional, choose a fabric outdoor ottoman for a coordinated look. Since people put their feet on outdoor ottomans, a darker fabric might help disguise wear and reduce the amount of cleaning you need to do. If you’re wondering which outdoor fabric is right for you, consider ordering one of our free outdoor fabric swatches to see it in your space. 

A metal outdoor ottoman is perfect for those looking for high durability. Our outdoor metals have upgraded metal compositions and finishes that are designed to resist rust and corrosion. We pair our metal outdoor ottomans with removable soft cushions, adding a layer of comfort yet making it easy to bring the cushion indoors if rain is on the horizon.

Wood outdoor ottomans bring the timeless beauty of wood to your outdoor space. We choose outdoor wood species with inherent weather resistance. 

Care for our outdoor ottomans and poufs is easy thanks to the detailed care information we provide. In general, you can care for outdoor ottomans by occasionally hosing them down, avoiding standing moisture and cleaning stains promptly. Covering or storing outdoor ottomans when not in use helps extend their lifespan and reduces how much you need to clean them. 

We do not waterproof our outdoor furniture, nor do we recommend that you do, as these chemicals are often hazardous to human health and the environment; instead, we construct our outdoor ottomans from materials that can handle getting wet and inherently dry out quickly. If you want to keep an outdoor ottoman dry, use one of our outdoor ottoman covers made from KoverRoos® Max fabric or bring it into a garage or basement during the off season.
