There are certain pieces of furniture that not only add a decorative touch to your home, but that are also quite versatile. In the living room or bedroom, you might have either a footstool or an ottoman as a place to kick up your feet and relax. If you want to add a touch of elegance and comfort to any room in your home, then it makes sense to pick up an antique or mid-century footstool with a needlepoint cushion. Vintage stools can be a great way to add a decorative element into any room, with the added bonus of functionality. Many of these footstools feature intricate details beyond just the needlepoint, with carved wooden legs and metal nail heads that add even more visual interest.
