Antique Functional Footstool
If you lack space to fit a full-sized coffee table, this footstool is the best choice. It has a compact wooden body in an elongated rectangle shape. The antique footstool comes in a black and orange color with a lot of natural distressing.
Designer Advice:
An antique foot stool like this one works well with small rooms due to its compact size and shape. The long seat enables you to use it as a footstool, while the lack of cushioning allows you to use it to put your drinks. Its wear and tear and warm colors will work best with vintage decor.
