What is the ideal height of a footstool?
The ideal height of a footstool is usually between 30cm and 45cm, depending on the height of your sofa or chair. The aim is simple—it should allow your legs to rest comfortably without forcing your knees too high or letting your feet dangle. A good rule of thumb is that your footstool should sit just below or level with the seat of your chair. At Rinkit, our collection of footstools is designed with this balance in mind. Whether you need something low and wide for stretching out or a compact cube for a smaller space, we’ve got options that support both posture and style. The right height also means added flexibility—you can use your footstool as an extra seat, a side table, or even a quick perch when putting on shoes. It’s all about enhancing comfort without getting in the way of everyday living.
Style and substance beneath your feet
A footstool might be one of the smallest pieces in your room, but it can make a surprisingly big impact. It’s that finishing touch that says, “yes, this space is lived in and loved.” From mid-century-inspired velvet to faux leather, woven textures and subtle neutrals, our footstools are more than just functional—they’re a way to add personality and warmth. Pop one by the sofa for movie nights, or tuck it under a window with a throw for a cosy reading corner. Many of our designs double as storage, keeping blankets, remotes or magazines out of sight but close at hand. Whether you prefer bold colours that make a statement or soft tones that blend in effortlessly, there’s a footstool in our range that’s ready to step up.
Compact comfort, built to last
At Rinkit, we believe home comforts should work hard and look good. That’s why our footstools are built with durable frames, supportive padding, and quality fabrics that stand up to everyday use. They arrive ready to use or with minimal assembly, making it easy to refresh your space without the hassle. Whether you’re rethinking your living room layout or just adding a bit of extra comfort, our footstools offer a simple upgrade with lasting appeal. It’s a small change—but one you’ll feel every time you put your feet up.
