This versatile piece of furniture not only provides a place to rest your feet but also offers a hidden compartment to keep your belongings organized. If you’re feeling crafty, follow our step-by-step guide to make your own storage ottoman.

Gather Your Materials

Before diving into the project, make sure you have the following materials:

  • Circular saw
  • Drill
  • Staple gun
  • Measuring tape
  • Wood glue
  • Upholstery fabric
  • Foam padding
  • Plywood
  • Four wooden legs
  • Four casters (optional)
  • Screws
  • Staples
  • Utility knife

Step 1: Measure and Cut

Start by measuring and cutting the plywood into the desired shape and size for your ottoman’s top. A square or rectangular shape is the most common choice.

Step 2: Attach the Legs

Attach the wooden legs to the bottom of the ottoman top using screws. If you want a mobile ottoman, you can also attach casters to the legs.

Step 3: Create the Storage Compartment

Measure and cut four pieces of plywood to serve as the sides of your ottoman’s storage compartment. Attach them to the ottoman top using wood glue and screws.

Step 4: Add Foam Padding

To make the ottoman comfortable to sit on, cut a piece of foam padding to fit the top of the ottoman. Attach it securely using a staple gun.

Step 5: Upholster the Ottoman

Now comes the fun part – upholstering your ottoman! Choose a fabric that matches your décor and cut it to fit around the ottoman. Secure it tightly using a staple gun, starting from the bottom and working your way up.

Step 6: Finish and Enjoy

Trim any excess fabric, check for loose screws, and make sure everything is secure. Your homemade storage ottoman is now ready to declutter your space and offer a comfortable seating option.

Don’t limit yourself to just one storage ottoman – you can make multiple to place in different rooms or give as thoughtful DIY gifts. Get creative with the fabric patterns and colors to personalize each piece.

Now that you know how to make a storage ottoman, it’s time to get started on your own DIY masterpiece. Happy crafting!
