Contemporary

• If you're into contemporary style and design, find a storage ottoman with sleek leather in colors like black, white, bright pink, blue, orange or red, according to your personal taste. A contemporary ottoman might be used in your home office, living room or sitting room. Anything might be stored in a contemporary storage ottoman.
  
  

Classic

• Keep your home classic in an ottoman covered in tapestry or fabric. Plaid and other tartans, as well as floral and houndsooth patterns, help create a classic look. Your classic ottoman will complement couches and chairs of traditional shapes. A classic ottoman is often used in a formal living space and makes ideal storage for candles and music used when entertaining.
  
  

Children's

• A children's space is another room in the home that absolutely needs storage. Make your kids' playroom a haven for organization by adding bright-colored, plastic storage ottomans. If you're not keen on kid-friendly plastic (it cleans so easily), find a soft fabric like microfiber. This has the added benefit of padding and cleans easily. Keep toys, videos or books in these storage ottomans.
  
  

Corporate

• A corporate ottoman doesn't have to be boring -- spruce up your office (and keep it organized too) with a durable fabric, like leather, in a color that is soothing and conducive to work. Pale blue leather, a classic beige or even a matte red all work well in a corporate environment. A corporate storage ottoman is an ideal home for files, training manuals or even your secret stash of 3 p.m. chocolate bars.
