The pouf. Trend or classic? You decide.

Recently, they're everywhere; design magazines, home shows, retail shops and even style blogs.  

They’re great when you need a quick seat, to 'set' on and to add a decorative accent . The pouf has become a staple in interior decor.  Their styles range from ultra-hip patterns to stitched leather to cozy embroidery. 

I've seen round, square, tufted, and even cloverleaf shaped.  They're part ottoman, part footstool, a dash of bench, and a huge dollop of style.     Need a footrest in the nursery? Add a pouf. How about an extra seat in the den or a decorative table for a living room? Use a pouf.
