Outdoor Ottomans

Outdoor Ottomans for Comfortable Florida Living

Complete your patio seating area with versatile outdoor ottomans designed for comfort, flexibility and modern outdoor living. An outdoor ottoman can serve as a footrest, extra seat, decorative accent or, on suitable models, a low coffee table.

At De’Luxe Home Decor & Furniture, our outdoor ottoman collection brings together wicker, aluminum, wood and cushioned designs for covered lanais, poolside areas, balconies and backyard patios. Explore our complete outdoor furniture collection to coordinate ottomans with seating, tables and other modern patio furniture.

Modern Outdoor Ottomans for Flexible Patio Seating

A modern outdoor ottoman provides flexibility without requiring the space of another full-size chair. It can be placed in front of an outdoor lounge chair for foot support, moved beside a sofa as a temporary surface or used as additional seating while entertaining.

Outdoor poufs and ottomans are especially useful in multifunctional spaces because they can be moved as the seating arrangement changes. Before selecting one, consider its intended purpose, dimensions, surface stability and relationship to the surrounding furniture.

Outdoor Ottomans by Material

The frame, woven exterior, wood finish, cushion construction and upholstery affect how an outdoor ottoman looks, feels and performs. Material selection should reflect the amount of sunlight, moisture and weather exposure in the intended location.

Wicker Outdoor Ottomans

A wicker outdoor ottoman introduces texture and a relaxed appearance to a patio arrangement. Wicker describes the weaving method rather than one specific material. Many pieces designed for exterior use feature synthetic resin wicker woven over an aluminum or other outdoor-rated frame.

Brown, beige and gray wicker ottomans coordinate naturally with outdoor sofas and chairs in neutral colors. A matching cushion can provide comfortable foot support, while a contrasting cushion can introduce color into the seating area.

Resin Wicker and Natural Rattan

Synthetic resin wicker is better suited to routine outdoor exposure than natural rattan. Natural rattan is generally intended for protected or indoor environments, while resin wicker is manufactured for easier exterior care. Always confirm the construction material rather than relying only on the word “wicker.”

Aluminum Outdoor Ottomans

An aluminum outdoor ottoman offers a lightweight structure and a clean contemporary appearance. Aluminum is naturally resistant to rust, and a powder-coated finish provides additional surface protection and color.

Black, white, gray and bronze-colored aluminum frames work well with modern architecture and streamlined patio furniture. Because aluminum is lightweight, the ottoman should be moved to a secure location when strong winds, tropical storms or hurricanes are expected.

Wooden and Teak Outdoor Ottomans

A wooden outdoor ottoman can introduce natural warmth into a patio or lanai. Teak is commonly selected for outdoor furniture because of its natural characteristics, but even teak requires appropriate cleaning and care as it ages.

Wood can gradually change color when exposed to sunlight and moisture. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations for cleaning, sealing and preserving the finish. Wooden ottomans coordinate especially well with beige, cream, brown, green and blue outdoor cushions.

Cushioned Outdoor Ottomans

A cushioned outdoor ottoman provides a softer surface for resting your feet or adding temporary seating. Outdoor-rated cushions may use performance fabric, solution-dyed upholstery, quick-draining materials or removable covers, depending on the model.

Outdoor fabric should be considered weather-resistant rather than completely waterproof. Allow wet cushions to dry thoroughly and move removable cushions to a protected location during severe weather or extended periods of non-use.

Outdoor Ottoman Colors for Modern Patios

Neutral colors are easy to coordinate with existing outdoor patio furniture. A beige, cream or gray outdoor ottoman can complement many seating arrangements, while brown works naturally with wicker and wood frames.

Black outdoor ottomans create a stronger contemporary contrast. Green and blue outdoor ottomans can introduce color inspired by landscaping, pools and coastal environments. When mixing separate pieces, repeating the cushion color, frame finish or woven texture can help create a cohesive appearance.

Choose the Right Outdoor Ottoman Shape

Round Outdoor Ottomans

A round outdoor ottoman softens furniture arrangements dominated by straight lines. Its curved profile works well with a single lounge chair, compact conversation area or curved outdoor seating.

Square Outdoor Ottomans

A square outdoor ottoman is easy to position in front of an individual chair or between two seats. Square models can also work as low tables when they have firm, stable surfaces.

Rectangular Outdoor Ottomans

A rectangular outdoor ottoman can support more than one seating position and may pair well with an outdoor sofa or loveseat. Wider designs can serve as shared footrests, extra seating or coffee table alternatives.

Outdoor Ottoman Coffee Tables

Selected ottomans can function as an outdoor ottoman coffee table when the surface is firm, level and stable. This dual-purpose design is useful for smaller patios where one piece needs to perform more than one function.

A weather-resistant serving tray can provide a more secure surface for drinks, snacks and accessories, especially on upholstered or woven models. Soft, rounded or deeply cushioned ottomans are generally better suited as footrests or extra seating.

If you plan to use an ottoman as an outdoor coffee table, confirm its stability and follow the manufacturer’s weight and use recommendations. Do not place hot items directly on performance fabric, wicker or finished wood surfaces.

Pair Outdoor Ottomans with Patio Seating

Outdoor Chair and Ottoman Sets

An outdoor chair and ottoman set creates an individual relaxation area for reading, resting or enjoying a covered lanai. Pairing an ottoman with one of our outdoor chairs can provide comfortable foot support without requiring a reclining mechanism.

The ottoman does not need to come from the same collection as the chair. Compare the seat height, ottoman height, frame material, cushion color and overall proportions when combining separate pieces.

Outdoor Sofas and Ottomans

An outdoor sofa with ottoman arrangement provides flexible seating for larger patios. A wide rectangular ottoman can serve several seats, offer temporary seating or function as a central coffee table.

Coordinate your ottoman with our selection of outdoor sofas by repeating the frame color, cushion tone or material. A matching design creates a uniform appearance, while complementary colors can make the arrangement feel more personalized.

Outdoor Loveseats and Ottomans

An outdoor loveseat with ottoman works well in medium-size patios, balconies and covered lanais. Position the ottoman close enough for comfortable foot support while preserving a clear path around the furniture.

How to Measure for an Outdoor Ottoman

Begin by measuring the open space in front of the chair, sofa or loveseat. Include the space required for walking, reclining and moving surrounding furniture.

Consider the following measurements:

• Overall ottoman width and depth
• Ottoman height
• Chair or sofa seat height
• Distance between the ottoman and seating
• Walking clearance around the arrangement
• Available space when the ottoman is used as a coffee table
• Door, gate and storage access

For comfortable foot support, the top of the ottoman should generally sit level with or slightly below the seat cushion. If it will serve as a coffee table, make sure its surface and proportions suit the entire seating arrangement.

Choosing Outdoor Ottomans for Tampa’s Climate

Consider Covered and Uncovered Areas

An ottoman placed under a covered lanai experiences different conditions from one located beside a pool or in a fully exposed backyard. Consider direct sunlight, seasonal rain, humidity, irrigation, pool water and nearby trees when selecting the material.

Protect Outdoor Ottomans During Severe Weather

Outdoor ottomans should not remain unsecured during hurricanes, tropical storms or other severe weather. Move lightweight pieces and removable cushions to a protected location before dangerous conditions arrive.

For routine care, clean spills promptly, remove dirt and debris and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the frame, fabric and cushion. If using a furniture cover, select a breathable design that does not trap moisture.
