Garden Stools Make the Move Indoors

Garden stools are making their way from the garden into the home with an array of styles to fit any interior.  Dating back one thousand years, the garden stool originates from China and today serves a variety of uses for homes worldwide.  Page through any decorating magazine and you will see at least one interior with a garden stool, for good reason.

Garden stools are versatile, functional and decorative.  Used in the living room, they can serve as ottomans, tables or additional seating.  When not in use, garden stools can be tucked away under console tables to save space.

Garden stools look great in pairs in front of the sofa and can double as a coffee table or a place to prop your feet.  As side tables, garden stools are stylish and can add a spot of color in the room.  They serve as great additions to seating arrangements when there isn’t room for a large table between chairs.

In the bathroom, garden stools are invaluable.  Since they are ceramic, they can even be placed in the shower.  They can easily be wiped down and can serve as a place to set a book, candle or beverage while enjoying a soak in the tub.

Need nightstands in the bedroom?  Place a garden stool on each side of the bed.  The vanity is a prime spot for the garden stool.  Place a few at the foot of the bed in lieu of a bench.  Add them to a sitting room to function as side tables or footstools.  They make a pretty addition to the room and can be easily moved around where needed.

The kitchen and dining area benefit from the additional seating option of the garden stool.  They also make great accents to the foyer when placed under a console table.  When more seating is required, they are readily available.
