Colored ottoman
An ottoman combining different colors will add expressiveness to the hallway setting. It will add a bright accent, giving the room originality.
Rainbow ottoman
To work you will need:
- pieces of different fabrics in matching colors;
- lining fabric;
- filler;
- needle, thread;
- sewing machine;
- large buttons.
Let's start work
The first step is to create a pattern. Draw a circle of the required diameter and divide it - first into 4 parts, then each into 3 more fragments. Using these pieces, cut pieces of fabric in the shape of petals, leaving a couple of centimeters for the seams.
Cutting out the petals
Perform the same actions with the substrate.
These elements must be sewn on the sides.
We design the lower part of the structure of the future product. The ideal material would be thick fabric.
Decorating the bottom part
From the inside out, sew the bottom part to the top fabric of the pouf, without sewing up the “petal”.
Connecting the parts
Turn the fabric over and place the filling.
Filling with filler
Sew the whole product. Hide the seams under the large buttons, sewing them in the middle of the ottoman on the top and bottom sides.
Hiding the seams
Preparing the material
The first step is to cut the boards as follows:
- 4 fragments 35x4x4 cm;
- 2 fragments 53 x 2.5x10 cm by 2.5x10x10 cm;
- 2 fragments 0.95 m 2.5x10 cm by 2.5x10x18 cm;
- 2 fragments 53 cm 2.5x8 cm by 2.5x8x10 cm;
- 2 fragments 0.95 m 2.5x8 cm by 2.5x8x18 cm;
- 14 fragments 56 cm 2.5x8 cm by 2.5x8x20 cm.

Popular expensive banquettes in the elite class corridor
For Provence and the classic direction, banquettes from the “Maderia” series are suitable. The catalog of the Italian manufacturer presents products made of natural wood with soft seats, backs and armrests.
Forged metal banquettes have an elegant and original appearance
There are options of unusual shapes, with wavy facades, equipped with carved decorative ornate inserts, which is clearly demonstrated by photos of banquettes in the hallway. And prices for models depend on the decorative equipment of the product.
Despite the high cost, the banquette from this series will bring sophistication and luxury to the room with its unsurpassed appearance.
Among elite-class forged products, banquettes with a shelf for shoes “Two Hippopotamuses” are popular. Structures made of high-quality steel are characterized by strength, reliability, wear resistance and durability. The products are distinguished by a stylish and elegant design that allows you to transform the corridor, making it more attractive.
Models with high forged backs, on which hooks for clothes are located, look impressive. There is a shelf for shoes under the seat. At the top there may be a mesh mezzanine for hats and scarves.
The Italian brand Maderia produces beautiful models of banquettes in Provence style
Another interesting and presentable model is the Mebelik banquette. The product is made of bent metal rod. Under the hard seat are two slanted mesh shelves for shoe storage. The model can be complemented with a forged back, which gives it a more impressive and stylish appearance.
An exemplary combined model can be considered a banquette with hidden shelves for shoes and side drawers “Chevalier”. The structure is made of natural wood. The soft seat is covered in leather.
Arrangement of the shelf
Mounting the bottom
Setting the first standards
First you need to place the slats on the sides. To do this, you need to apply glue to the surface of the plank and attach it, then drive in a nail so that the element does not fall off while the glue dries. The resulting structure must be turned over to the right side. Using crosses, we make seams between the planks. After the glue has dried, you need to remove the crosses.

Ottoman made from plastic bottles
Pouf made from plastic bottles
A soft home chair can be made from seemingly non-standard things. For example, from plastic bottles. This is a very affordable material, and products made from it are practical and decorative.
Cooking:
- bottles (they must have tightly screwed caps) - 40 pcs.;
- scissors;
- synthetic material for laying;
- wide adhesive tape;
- needles and threads;
- knitting needles or crochet hook;
- yarn;
- stapler;
- beautiful fabric.
Production
We connect the plastic containers to each other using adhesive tape. For reliability, it is recommended to first fasten them in small blocks, which are then tied together.
We make a pattern from the bottom of the box. Place the workpiece with a circumference of 400 mm on the boards and make marks. You need to cut out two pieces from the resulting pattern. Place them on both sides of the pouf and secure with adhesive tape.
Bottles are connected to cardboards with tape
Now it's time to prepare the gasket.
Cut out 2 circles and one rectangle, which will serve to wrap the pouf.
Use a staple gun to attach the foam to the frame.
Wrap polystyrene with padding polyester.
The surface of the resulting frame is covered with padding polyester or foam rubber.
Any suitable thick fabric will be suitable for making the lid.
The final step is to connect the top and sides of the ottoman, stitching them at the bottom.
The pouf is completely ready.
Cutting off the foam
You need to take a foam rubber blank and apply the appropriate markings on it, after which we cut it with a simple knife. After this, you need to glue the foam rubber to the base and let the glue dry.

We put weights

What shape can a banquette with a seat have in a hallway?
The traditional shape of a banquette for a hallway is considered rectangular. This design can be installed along the wall anywhere in the room. It has a hard or soft seat with upholstery, there are models with and without a backrest. The last option is often used for small corridors. A narrow banquette in the hallway can also serve as an element zoning the space.
Traditionally, hallway banquettes are rectangular in shape.
Corner banquettes are distinguished by a stylish design and the presence of a spacious drawer, which is located under the seat and acts as a lid. It is convenient to store not only shoes, but also other useful items. Such models are mainly made to order.
Banquettes with a storage box that have a round shape will look aristocratic and beautiful. In appearance, the products resemble small poufs. The structure is fully equipped with soft upholstery. Under the top cover, which acts as a seat, there is a storage compartment. It is not recommended to place shoes here, since there are no specially designated shelves.
Most often, banquettes for hallways do not have a back
