Idea 18: Tuck a Cable-Knit Pouf by the Fireplace

If leather isn’t your thing, a cable-knit pouf in cream or soft gray gives you the same extra-seat-plus-footrest function with a softer, cozier feel. The chunky knit texture echoes your throw blankets and ties the room’s textiles together. These are lighter than they look, so they’re easy to move wherever the crowd gathers. Target and Amazon carry them for $35–50, and the removable covers mean you can actually wash them — a must if you have kids or pets claiming the pouf daily.
