The Power of the Pouf

We love poufs. You can sit on them, but they're more comfy than stools. You can put your feet up on them, but they're cuter than a typical ottoman. And you can balance a drink on them, yet they're much softer than a side table.

Our preferred pouf right now is the round leather Moroccan version.

We used a silver and an orange in this client's home. The orange is repeated in the pillows, while the silver picks up the chrome in the lamp and kitchen appliances. These were purchased from Jonathan Adler, who offers a great assortment of bright colors.

Flash sale sites such as Joss & Main occasionally feature them too, so keep your eyes open! Here's a great shot of these Moroccan beauties in action.

In another client's home, we chose a different type of pouf -- also Moroccan, but a completely different style.

Notice how the rustic dark leather contrasts with the clean lines of the sofa and the lighter tans throughout the room.

There are so many great pouf possibilities out there! We love how this intricately embroidered piece mixes a bit of elegance into the rustic beachy feel of this space.
