Ways To Use This Textured Stool To Update Your Look

Costa X Base Stool

Use this Costa X-Base Textured Stool from Serena and Lily to update your look! Especially since it’s 22% off right now.

It’s versatile, too.  I like our textured stools so much that I have recommended them to three of my clients.

Costa X-Base Textured Stool To Update Your Look

Why?

• The stool is hand-braided water hyacinth woven over a wooden frame…giving it a natural, organic feel.
• The design is streamlined and a little modern. I can see it fitting in in any casual environment from the coast to the mountains or in a farmhouse.
• With a small profile (22.5” W x 17.5” D x 18” H), it can work in large or tight spaces.
• It’s strong: Holds up to 300 lbs.
• And it’s versatile!

Here are some ways to use it.

As Extra Seating

My client, Theresa has three small children so they can pull the benches up to her coffee table to play board games.

Use It As A TV Tray!

I probably should not admit this, but I have been known to put a tray on top of one of the stools to eat dinner in front of the television. The Serena and Lily Mirabelle rug is soft.

Notice how our coffee table styling and pillows change but our Costa X-Base Textured Stools stay the same 🙂

Use It As A Footrest

We replaced my client’s husband’s worn recliner in favor of swivel chairs (to take advantage of the view), and now he can pull up a stool for his feet. In fact, I asked her how she likes the stools recently and she said “Yes, I love them! They add a great texture to the room. I think without looking too beachy.”

Use As A Bench in The Bedroom Or As A Luggage Rack

I’ve used ours for guests with smaller suitcases as a luggage rack since it is sturdy.

I’ve always loved the look of blue mixed with brown like in the above photo. That is a cute gingham duvet cover. It comes in blue and yellow, too. The rattan taper pendant is a new look. And I love the braided wool rug to make a bedroom feel plush. It’s on sale, too.

Here you can see where the x-benches landed in the guest room of our new home.

Those are ways to use the Serena and Lily Costa X-Base Textured Stool to update your look with extra seating, as a tv tray, as a footrest, and as seating at the foot of the bed or handy luggage rack for guests.
