We can put it in the family room or living room for additional seating.
Making Ottomans from Wicker Trunks and Chests
Before we start the making process, we have to choose the right Wicker trunks and chests. Choose one that has the perfect height, similar to our sofa. One thing we have to remember is choosing the sturdy chests and trunks. Strong trunks and chests are recommended so they won’t be damaged or bent after couple of months’ usage.
First of all we have to measure the top dimension of the Wicker trunks and chests. After that, we can buy foam that has the same size as our chests and trunks. Make sure to choose thick and solid foam. Remember that the foam will be a seating base, so if we are choosing too thin foam, the cushion won’t work to give fluffy feeling.
If we have found the foam for wicker chest trunk, then we have to choose the foam cover. Make sure to adjust the cushion cover that similar to our sofa. We can choose neutral color that has the same tone color with the whole room. With that way, if we are replacing the sofa cover, we don’t have to replace the ottoman cushion. Choosing one with texture can be a good choice as well. Since we are going to use it as a cover, then make sure to choose a wider size than the foam.
Cover the foam with the fabric that we have chosen, whether it is leather or regular cloth fabric. Cover, fold and sew the fabric neatly and prepare to attach the cushion on the wicker storage chests and trunks top. We can attach it by using a soft string or glue it. However, if we glue it, it will damage the trunks and the chests top, so we are not recommended to glue it, just attach it by string.
Ottoman Wicker Trunks and Chests Maintenance
For the ottoman nested wicker chest maintenance, we just need to take the foam off from the chests and trunks, take the fabric and wash it. We don’t need to wash the foam; we can leave it under the sun to remove its humidity. Now that we know turning our blanket chest into ottoman can be so easy, then what are we waiting for? Ottoman wicker trunks and chests can be good way not only to add extra seating, but also to decorate our room.
