Waverley Upholstered Storage Ottoman - Terracotta Chenille

The Waverley is a 160cm upholstered storage ottoman with a lift-up seat section that opens to reveal internal storage beneath, wrapped entirely in terracotta chenille fabric. The fabric has a textured, low-pile weave that catches light variably across the surface. The ottoman sits on a solid timber frame with rounded, upholstered end sections that act as integrated armrests or side bolsters.

Designed for end-of-bed placement in bedrooms, hallways, or living room positions where both seating and concealed storage are needed, the Waverley provides approximately 0.34m³ of internal volume for bedding, cushions, throws or seasonal items. The 48cm seat height suits adult users for sitting to put on shoes or for temporary perching when the ottoman is placed at the foot of a standard UK double or king-size bed.

The terracotta chenille has a warm, rust-toned hue that sits between burnt orange and clay red depending on natural light, and pairs with warm neutrals, deeper browns and terracotta tile or brick finishes in period or contemporary interiors. The 160cm length gives a footprint comparable to a standard UK double bed width, and the 21.4kg weight provides stability without requiring floor fixing. The rounded end sections soften the profile and prevent sharp edges in circulation routes.

How much storage does it hold?

The internal compartment measures approximately 150cm x 40cm x 35cm deep, giving around 0.21m³ of usable storage volume once the lid mechanism is accounted for. This suits folded bedding, seasonal cushions, throws or bulkier items that do not fit in drawer storage.

Is the lid supported when open?

The lift-up seat section typically uses a hinge mechanism rather than gas struts, meaning the lid needs to be held or fully lifted off to access the storage. Check the product on delivery to confirm the specific hinge type fitted to this batch.

Can it be used as regular seating?

Yes. The 48cm seat height and 49cm depth suit temporary seating for putting on shoes, perching while dressing, or occasional hallway seating. The internal storage does not compromise the seating function, though the upholstered surface is softer than a solid bench.

How is the chenille cleaned?

Chenille fabrics respond well to regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to lift dust and prevent pile compression. For spot cleaning, use a barely-damp microfibre cloth with distilled water, blotting rather than rubbing to avoid spreading marks or damaging the pile. Test any cleaning method on a hidden section first.
