If you're on the lookout for a stylish storage solution for your home then you should keep your eyes peeled on your next visit to Aldi's middle aisle for the new boucle footstool.
Stylish and practical, the footstool was released as part of Aldi's specialbuys autumn home range earlier this week. The texture means it's perfect if you're looking for cosy living room ideas to update your space this season.
What's even better is that this boucle footstool comes in at £19.99, making it cheaper than many similar alternatives on the high street including one of our favourite budget versions at George Home Cream Boucle Footstool that will set you back £40.
If the white teddy/boucle fabric finish isn't for you the footstool is also available in a chic grey velvet chevron.
The Aldi footstool
The cream teddy material makes this a plush, comfy footstool - perfect for putting your feet up at the end of a long day or stowing away blankets.
The textured boucle and sturdy wooden legs gives this footstool a stylish, minimaluxe feel. This footstool would make a great addition to any cosy living room.
The Aldi footstool has plenty of storage space inside for stashing blankets or toys, making it a handy piece of furniture if you’re looking for small living room ideas. It's also foldable so it can be stashed away if you’re ever short on space.
Approximately 37.5 x 37.5 x 40cm, its small size and plush material make it perfect for one person to stick their feet up at the end of a long day. It could even work as a seat at your dressing table with plenty of space to stow your hairdryer and other tools. I particularly like the cream teddy material - it’s a timeless look that suits most styles, particularly the minimalux aesthetic which has been trending all year.
But compared to the look of the George Cream Boucle Footstool, I can’t help but feel the dupe falls a little short. The ASDA stool is 45 x 41 cm, which I'd argue is a more comfortable size.
It's also optimised for storage, and the top of the stool is large enough that it makes a handy alternative to a coffee table in a living room. The wooden legs are also a nice touch if you prefer that rustic look.
However, for £20 Aldi has pushed out the luxe levels with the flash gold base. Plus if you're looking for a quick storage fix or are on a budget you really can't go wrong.
Like all specialsbuys, this Aldi dupe is only available to purchase in-store. So, if you don't have time to get down to the middle aisle, the Cream Sherpa Storage Stool, also by George Home, is currently on sale at £15.
Measuring 37 x 38 x 38cm, it's almost the same size as the Aldi store and has a removable lid for added storage. It's not quite pretty as the Aldi footstool but it's a great alternative if you miss out on the specialbuy.
If you’re looking for a good storage option and an even better price, this Aldi specialbuy might be the right choice.
The mushroom shape nails that autumnal feeling. At 45 x 45 x 43 cm, it's large enough to store throws and cushions without taking up too much for your space.
This lightweight stool is not only great for storage but comes with a tray converting it to a coffee table. Perfect for living room or bedroom spaces, the multi-functional stool will make the most of your space.
With solid wooden legs, this stool is optimised for storage and seating. It's perfect for storing toys, Tv remotes and any clutter yur may want to hide. The deep rich brown and fluffy boucle material gives the stool an overall luxurious feel.
