As we are beginning the process of finishing our basement, I have been thinking about needing to decorate a whole other family room! I want to be as frugal as possible, of course, so I am planning on doing a lot of fun DIY projects down there. One of which is some kind of ottoman! Today I’ve rounded up a boat load of DIY ottomans that I’ve seen around the web lately that have inspired me! These hard-working pieces of furniture don’t have to break the bank. And they are oh-so-stylish! Peruse through and see if any inspire you to take a crack at making your own ottoman too!

These DIY ottomans made out of old coffee tables are amazing! Upcycling furniture you already have into something amazing and chic is the best.
This one is made from an old chair… no piece of furniture is safe from being turned into an ottoman. Love it!
An old trunk is a great upcycle into an upholstered ottoman WITH. STORAGE.
And, of course, poufs are all the rage. These DIYs are fab!
I love how some DIY ottomans are so simple and some are a little more involved but all are fantastic! I can’t wait to see how my new space shapes up down there so I can get cracking on some projects like these!
Such cute ideas! I need to start thinking about this too!
