Whether it’s a house party, dinner party, or movie night, we love hosting our friends for a night in. But with hosting comes that age-old dilemma — where is everyone going to sit? The days of lounging on the bare floor are behind you. If you’re in need of some grown-up seating without all the space and cost of traditional chairs, a comfy pouf or ottoman can be an elegant and affordable solution. Hey, when the party’s over, you can easily stack cushions for storage, keep them around for decoration, or set your feet up after a long day. Here’s a stylish selection of floor seating options.
