Hassocks

  A hassock is essentially the same thing as a footstool or ottoman, a small, cushioned piece of furniture that serves as a footrest or small seat. The word hassock is of English origin and also refers to a cushion used in churches to kneel on when praying. A hassock can also mean a small, dense, tuft of grass that forms a hillock or tussock. The words hassock, footstool, and ottoman can be properly interchanged in most situations, except for when referring to a grassy area.

 In the home, a hassock or ottoman is a separate piece of furniture. Usually upholstered in leather or upholstery fabric, a hassock can be moved about the room and placed in front of any other piece of furniture to use as a footstool. The function of a hassock is to provide a comfortable padded place to prop up the feet.

 I'm loving the Pop of color they provide in these rooms.

 They are so versatile.

They are like punctuation marks

 or pieces of candy

 placed about the room!

 I'm especially loving what they bring to this room in particular.  The bright shot of color along with the relaxed Moroccan vibe really provides the tension that makes this room so wonderful.

I picked up this pair of authentic Moroccan hassocks this weekend at an estate sale.
