Long Live The La-Z-Boy!
Like Band-Aid to adhesive bandages, Jacuzzi to hot tubs, and ChapStick to lip balms, La-Z-Boy has become synonymous with recliners over the years. These brand names have become household names, making consumers forget the product name. “We are getting a La-Z-Boy,” means one is buying a recliner. That’s the extent of La-Z-Boy’s popularity across the globe!
The La-Z-Boy, or Lazyboy as some call it, is the epitome of comfort and style. It is exquisitely crafted for those who appreciate the extraordinary and has been redefining comfort since 1929. With a whopping 900 fabric and leather options, these recliners ensure you have a world of endless possibilities. From traditional reclining chairs to power lift recliners, microfiber fabric to timeless leather, we are spoilt for choices.
La-Z-Boy ConceptionThese recliners have stood the test of time, with their first patent dating back to 1929. The founders of the La-Z-Boy were the proud inventors of the first-ever recliner – a wooden slatted folding chair made from orange crates. This paved the way for their iconic recliner years later, becoming the world’s best-selling range. As the name suggests, the Lazyboy is tailor-made for you to laze around and indulge in leisure pleasure. Sit, relax, and fall in love with your recliner. Make this a routine and discover ultimate bliss.

Trends tend to come and go. However, only a few endure offering a timeless appeal that transcends the trends. When it comes to lounge room designs, luxury is not just about opulence; it’s about creating a space that exudes sophistication, and comfort.
From sleek minimalism to striking glam, the latest trends in luxury lounge room designs show a shift towards quiet luxury, instead of extravagance. Quiet luxury is all about adding a touch of elegance and refinement without going overboard.
Here are some of the latest luxury trends and how to incorporate them into your own home.
Quiet LuxuryQuiet luxury is nothing but keeping things simple yet stylish. It’s about choosing pieces that feel luxurious, without being flashy and creating an atmosphere that exudes luxury without a garish display of wealth.
Having said that, quiet luxury doesn’t have to cost you much. Instead of investing in luxury items, go for quality pieces like our Artemis Bright White Mirror that create an illusion of a much larger area.
Mirrors are also a great way of filling empty spaces and are ideal for understated luxury. Pair it with a Figtree Lamp Table with a Cymbidium Orchid in a ceramic pot to complete the look.
Minimalism is the KeyMinimalism is not merely a design choice; it’s a lifestyle. With minimalistic lounge rooms, the emphasis is on uncluttered spaces with functional furniture that doesn’t overwhelm the room.
Minimalistic lounge rooms aren’t that hard. To start with, declutter the room, leaving essential pieces that exude elegance and sophistication.
Follow it up with furniture that serves a dual purpose. Our Storage Ottoman doubling as a storage unit, Manto Coffee Table with hidden compartments and Morgan Sofa Bed with its bi-fold mechanism are great examples of minimalistic living room furniture.
Focus on QualityLuxury trends, be it home decor, interior design, or fashion, revolve around quality materials that exude class and grace. From the materials to the craftsmanship, every aspect of the furniture is meticulously curated to radiate opulence.
When it comes to lounge room furniture, investing in high-quality furniture made from premium materials such as solid wood, supple leather, and luxurious fabrics makes all the difference. These timeless pieces not only add to the aesthetic appeal of your space but also stand the test of time, ensuring that you get the most out of your investment.
Our all-time favourite is the Adele Dining Table, a 7-piece dining setting made from American Oak. The wooden table with black leather chairs is simply a picture of understated elegance.
Soft Muted Colors for a Neutral Living RoomGone are the days of bold, statement colours dominating lounge room designs. Instead, go for soft, muted tones and neutral colours for that quiet luxury look.
And it’s not just warm beiges and soft taupes; Neutral colours such as beige, grey, and ivory are the current go-to trends for luxury lounge rooms. They provide a versatile backdrop for accent pieces and accessories, allowing them to shine without overpowering the space.
Lighting Sets the MoodLighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood and ambience of a lounge room. From elegant chandeliers to subtle table/floor lamps, every fixture helps create a warm and inviting ambience.
Consider combining recessed lighting with our Highton White Floor Lamp to cast a gentle glow throughout the room. On the other hand, for a more dramatic look, go for statement chandeliers or pendant lights. Not only do they serve as focal points, but also add a sense of grandeur to the lounge room.
Interior design trends undergo little seasonal changes. It is much too cumbersome to update your home frequently. However, only very few trends stay alive for years to come, others fade away.
Black is one such thing that never goes out of style. It pretty much goes with everything; from home decor to lighting ideas and furniture, black will fit in with just about everything, as does modern noir.
Modern Noir exudes elegance, drama, and mystery just like its film and literary genre. Stressless Furniture effortlessly incorporates Noir elements into its designs, with its sleek and minimalist silhouettes. From recliners to sofas, each piece oozes sophistication while maintaining the essence of Modern Noir.
What is Modern Noir?Modern noir draws inspiration from the moody aesthetics of classic noir while incorporating contemporary elements to create a stylish living space. Like classic noir, it predominantly features a dark colour palette.
Modern noir is characterised by grey, taupe, black, and sometimes olive greens, and berry tones as well. The dark hues add depth and visual interest to the space.
Having said that, contrast is also essential in modern noir. Pairing dark elements with lighter ones and textured surfaces reflects light and brings about a sense of drama.
Exploring Modern NoirIncorporating modern noir in your living space isn’t just about a dark palette. Every element from its inky walls to its dark wood floors to full-height curtains envelops you in a sense of warmth and tranquility.
However, it’s about the simple things that make it a sanctuary, where every moment is an opportunity to unwind and rejuvenate.
Balancing Light and DarkModern noir has a predominantly dark colour palette; so, it’s crucial that you maintain the delicate balance between the dark and light. By incorporating elements that reflect light you can prevent your living room from being too oppressive or gloomy.
It can be anything from a strategically placed mirror or light-coloured furniture like our Stressless Mayfair Recliner with sleek lines and a modern look. Emily features the soft enveloping cushions, a trademark of Stressless furniture. These contrasting elements add drama and sophistication to your living room.
Minimalist FurnishingsMinimalism and modern noir go hand in hand. Like modern noir, minimalism also portrays clean lines, simple silhouettes, and uncluttered spaces.
Stressless furniture incorporates this aesthetic with its sleek and streamlined design that prioritises both function and comfort. From recliners to sofas, each piece of furniture is an epitome of sophistication and elegance, while maintaining the spirit of modern noir.
Our favourites are Consul and Aurora from the Stressless Ambassador collection. With simple lines, effortless style, and sleek profile, both the recliner and sofa define the very essence of Stressless.
Embracing ComfortWhile modern noir is famous for its sleek and stylish aesthetic, comfort is not far behind. Stressless understands the importance of creating furniture that not only looks good but also feels good to use.
With ergonomic designs and features such as adjustable headrests and lumbar support, Stressless ensures maximum comfort and relaxation.
One unique feature that sets Stressless Furniture apart from its competitors is the patented ‘comfort zones’. Comfort Zones have specially designed holes in the foam for that deep sinking sensation and ulterior comfort.
Retro Accents and DecorWhat’s modern noir without retro accents and decor? From vintage-inspired lighting fixtures to classic furniture and noir artwork, these simple touches add character and personality.
Stressless Furniture offers a wide range of retro-inspired designs that seamlessly blend with the modern noir aesthetic. Whether it’s a retro-inspired armchair like our Stressless Magic recliner or a statement sofa aka Stressless Windsor Lowback, they add depth and intrigue to your living room.
Wrapping UpBy embracing a dark palette, you can create a space that exudes elegance and sophistication. So, why not bring a touch of cinematic charm into your home with Modern Noir? Unlike classic noir, a genre synonymous with drama, and mystery, modern noir incorporates contemporary elements, with sleek and clean silhouettes.
Stressless Furniture seamlessly integrates the timeless allure of modern noir without sacrificing comfort and style. With innovative features like ‘comfort zones’, Stressless ensures maximum relaxation, making it the ideal choice for a modern noir-inspired aesthetic.
Bring the allure of modern noir into your home! Visit Valentines Furniture and explore our collection of Stressless. We have a wide range of stylish and comfortable furnishings to make your living space both elegant and inviting.
Also referred to as the living/sitting room, the lounge room is undoubtedly the centre of a home. It is where memories are made; a space where the family gathers at the end of the day and unwinds. In most cases, it is also where you entertain guests.
As such, the lounge room should be comfortable, welcoming, and luxurious. With so many trends, décor, and furniture pieces, it is challenging to find something that goes with your decor while being functional.
Here are some essential features that convert your lounge room into a haven of comfort and style.
Get the EssentialsFirst things first, let’s get the essentials right, the sofa. The sofa is the largest piece of furniture in the lounge, and as such, it serves as the focal point. Choose a piece that not only complements your decor but also provides ample seating.
It can be anything from Blaze, a stylish contemporary sofa with a timber base, to Cambridge, a Chesterfield, and Lazboy Hartford, an oversized modular with ample seating space.
Setup the Seating RightYour seating doesn’t have to end with your sofa. Pair your sofa with versatile setting options like lounge chairs or accent chairs. Not only does it increase your seating options, but it also elevates the aesthetic of your room.
Our favourites are the Pavillion Etienne Armchair, made of rattan woven around a timber frame and the Melrose Chiltern, with its contemporary style and sleek lines.
For additional seating, consider adding an ottoman, preferably closer to a window. Our Purcell Ottoman works as an extra seating option and storage as well.
Add Warmth with RugsWhile hardwood floors are easy to clean, they do not add much to the room. On the other hand, rugs are design elements that bring the room together while adding warmth. Opt for a soft, textured rug that invites bare feet.
Our Orlando rug, plush and full of character, adds a soft, warm layer to your lounge room. Another option is our Herman rug. Its woven repetitive pattern makes it ideal for both traditional and contemporary lounge rooms.
Set the Tone with CentrepieceEvery room needs a centrepiece that sets the tone for the rest of the space. Whether it is a coffee table or an entertainment unit, choose something that is not only visually appealing but also functional.
Our choices are the Moderna Coffee Table, with its minimalistic look and the adjoining Moderna Lamp Table. Another ideal choice is the Palm Springs Coffee Table for that beachy look.
Invest in quality pieces that serve a practical purpose apart from just looking great. A well-crafted centrepiece can elevate the look of the lounge singlehandedly.
Maintain a Clutter-free RoomClutter is the enemy of joy! And that goes for your lounge room too. A cluttered space can distract from the overall ambience of the room. Invest in an entertainment unit that doubles as a storage space to hide away the remotes, magazines, etc.
The Vico TV Unit offers hidden storage compartments without sacrificing style. For a more traditional decor, check out our Milan Entertainment Unit with burr walnut inlay.
Lounge rooms can get messy easily, especially if you have children. A buffet or lamp table set close to a wall can fill an empty space while acting as storage. Our favourites are the Pavillion Round Nesting Table and Adele Buffet.
Wrapping UpRemember, your lounge room isn’t just about aesthetics. It should also be functional and withstand the trends for years to come. From cozy sofas to statement centrepieces, each element plays a crucial role in your lounge room.
However, it should also be a reflection of your personality. Mix and match different styles and materials to suit your taste. Choose materials that are easy to clean and maintain, especially if you have children or pets.
Take the first step towards creating your dream living space today. From cozy sofas to statement centrepieces, Valentines furniture has everything you require to transform your lounge room into a haven of comfort and style.
There’s something special about the season; Trees turn colourful from bright yellow and burnt orange to deep red and everything in between. The air turns crisper, and the chill warns you of the waiting winter.
With the cooler months around the corner, there’s no better time to redecorate your living room. Sometimes, all it takes is a couple of well-placed decor pieces to bring the much-needed warmth to your space.
Maximalistic Living Room is Back With a TwistGone are the days when minimalism ruled your living rooms. This autumn, embrace the cozy vibes of maximalism with furniture pieces from Valentines Furniture.
Maximalism is definitely making a comeback but with a modern twist. This time, the focus is on the rich materials and colours, incorporating them in a quirky way.
Think of bold statement pieces and plush sofas adorned with an array of cushions. Our Northbridge Chesterfield is the epitome of luxury and comfort, set in autumn hues.
Make Comfort and Warmth a PriorityAs the temperatures drop, your living room becomes a sanctuary for the entire family. Imagine curled up on your sofa with a cup of tea. The best part about comfort and warmth is that all you need are small pieces, like cushions or throws, in vibrant colours.
The Melon Knitted Throw in its rich colours and the Coral Maize Knitted Throw with its multi-coloured triangle pattern, create a truly unique space.
Let Autumn Define Your Colour PaletteYour autumn living room is incomplete without an autumnal colour palette, say a mustard yellow, shades of terracotta, dark green, and warm orange. These hues bring about a sense of warmth, intimacy, and sophistication.
Incorporate these colours in your living room through furnishings like throws, rugs, and table/floor lamps. Consider our Tanager Sunset Table Lamp with a burnt orange base, Barossa – Fall rug in fall colours, and Noble rug in deep burgundy for a touch of luxury and class.
Not only are these affordable, but they are also easy to change with the season.
Curves Continue to Make an ImpactSoft curves and organic shapes continue to take centre stage in living room design, no matter the season. Not only do they bring about a contemporary feel, but they also add a softness to the room. The curved silhouette also helps promote the flow and complement any living room aesthetic.
Our favourites are the Regent Oval Coffee Table with its artistic sculpted legs and the Artemis Bright White Mirror with its quirky curved pattern.
Stay Connected With NatureWhat better way to celebrate autumn than by bringing some of that nature inside? It can be anything from a vase of freshly cut Autumn flowers to pinecones to dried branches and leaves. If gardening is your thing, you can even introduce seasonal plants to your living room aesthetic.
An easy way to welcome autumn into your home is by adding seasonal flower arrangements, natural or artificial. This beautiful Moth orchid in a blue and white Chinese pot and Cymbidium orchid in a ceramic pot bring a pop of colour to your autumn aesthetic.
Bring Out the Throw RugsNothing says autumn like a cozy throw draped over the back of a sofa. Bring out your favourite blanket from storage and incorporate it into your decor. Is it still too warm for a blanket? Throws are the perfect option.
Whether you opt for a pure cotton knit, jacquard throw like our Happily Ever After Throw or a faux fur throw with fleece backing like our Virginia Throw, they are a perfect way to add autumnal charm to your living room.
Wrapping UpAs the days get shorter, your living room is much more than a place to relax; it’s a refuge from the cold and a haven for your family. It is also where you can showcase your personality.
By making simple changes, you can create a living room that reflects the beauty of autumn. It can be as simple as adding a few cushions, throws and autumnal flowers. Or flow with the maximalist charm and bring out the bold statement pieces.
But, whatever it is, remember to play with patterns and prints – mix and match to your heart’s content.

The living room is the heart of every home, where comfort meets style. There’s nothing like coming to a living room bathed in natural light, inviting you to relax and unwind after a long day. While minimalist, bohemian, and moody living rooms have their unique appeal, there’s nothing like the rustic beauty of a country living room.
While the traditional living room is all about the cozy, lived-in feel, the modern country living room is all about sleek and modern design principles. The timeless elements of country living, like antique charm and wooden furniture have taken on a modern outlook, creating a space that is on-trend with the current times.
Oversize Furniture for ComfortThe country living room has come a long way from its origins as a simple farmhouse with clean lines. However, one thing that has not changed is the emphasis on comfort. The modern country living room is all about creating a cozy and inviting space where you can relax and unwind.
One way to achieve this is by opting for oversized furniture, both comfortable and stylish. Whether it’s a plush sofa or a Lazboy, ensure that your furniture choices prioritise comfort over everything else. That way, you can create a warm and welcoming environment perfect for spending time with friends and family.
Pair that with our rustic glass table for a sense of austerity. The iron and glass combination helps balance rugged charm with modern sophistication.
Wood for Vintage and DecorCountry living room, be it traditional or modern, is synonymous with wooden decor. Wood has this timeless appeal that transcends trends while seamlessly blending with modern design. Whether it is a vaulted ceiling, an entertainment centre, or a classic low-back sofa with wooden legs and arms, wood adds much more than an aesthetic appeal.
The addition of wooden furnishings is a subtle nod to tradition and a connection to nature, which the countryside is famous for.
Neutral isn’t Always DullNeutral doesn’t have to be dull and lifeless. It is the cornerstone to create a timeless elegant atmosphere. Neutral tones play a vital role in creating a sophisticated aesthetic synonymous with modern country living.
Picture a Chesterfield sofa in soft beige with its classic silhouette or a plush grey rug. They act as a serene backdrop for the other rustic elements, such as wooden furniture. They are also a perfect canvas for layering accents and vibrant accessories like colourful throws or statement artwork.
Don’t Shy Away from Colors and PatternsWhile neutrals bring about serenity, bold colours and accents add personality and vibrancy to modern living rooms. Consider adding pops of colour with features like a chevron pattern throw draped over a neutral sofa or a colourful lamp illuminating a cozy corner.
If not colours, how about textures? Textures add depth and visual interest to your living room. It can be anything from combining smooth surfaces like glass with leather or velvet. Or a faux mink throw over a neutral armchair.
Don’t hesitate to mix and match; The different colours and textures create an inviting atmosphere.
Include Earthy ColorsEarthy colours play a pivotal role in traditional country living rooms. It infuses your space with warmth, tranquillity, and a connection to the outdoors. Think along the likes of rich browns, warm terracottas, and soothing greens reminiscent of nature.
Consider a Chesterfield in a deep chocolate brown as the anchor piece, creating an inviting atmosphere. Pair it with an accent chair in a muted green adorned with a pillow or two for some good measure.

Don’t let the cold temperatures stop you from entertaining!
Having an entertaining space in your home is a great way to bring family and friends together. Whether for a game night, a small party, or just spending time with family and friends, having a welcoming and lively space can make a big impact.
You can easily transform any room into a vibrant and inviting entertainment space, all just by incorporating different design elements. This article will guide you through practical tips and ideas to create a lovely entertaining space in your Bendigo home.
Layer Your TexturesAdding texture to your entertainment space can make it visually appealing and create a cosy ambience. Start by incorporating different textures in your furniture, such as a plush sofa or a patterned armchair like our Italian Gents Chair.
In addition, you can layer with throw pillows, blankets, and area rugs to add depth to the room. Our Drake hand-woven rug and Chevron Multi Plush Throw ticks all the right boxes. These cosy and stylish accessories are perfect additions to any living room or bedroom.
Simple Seating AreaA comfortable seating area is essential for any entertaining space. Instead of modular sofas or sectional couches, strategically place accent chairs or ottomans around the room. This creates an open and inviting atmosphere.
Our Cupid Accent Chair and Camino Wing Chair create the perfect combination of comfortable and stylish seating for any living room. If comfort is the key, you always have Alva Swivel Chair by LazyBoy.
Informal Family SpaceDesignating a separate area for informal family gatherings can foster a sense of togetherness. It can be a corner of your living room or a designated space within your larger entertaining area. This informal living room serves as a retreat where family members can relax, engage in leisure activities, and enjoy each other’s company.
Start by setting aside a cosy corner that accommodates everyone comfortably. Add a comfortable sectional sofa like our Sienna Modular or a set of Pavillion Etienne armchairs to provide ample seating. Finally, throw in our Virginia Throw to create an inviting atmosphere.
Accessorise with StyleWhen it comes to designing your Bendigo home, it’s the little details that make a big difference. Accessories are an excellent way to add visual interest and depth to a room.
However, when it comes to accessories, less is often more. Instead of cluttering your space with an abundance of items, curate your collection with intention.
Choose accent pieces that complement your existing colour scheme or add pops of contrasting colours to create visual interest. These could be anything eye-catching, like our Spring Tree of Life artwork, an intricately designed Chatsworth Silver Mirror, or our Tanager Sunset Table Lamp.
Cosy and NeutralCreate a warm and inviting atmosphere by using a neutral colour palette. Shades like beige, grey, or creamy white can make the space feel cosy and timeless.
However, to create visual interest within a neutral colour scheme, you need to focus on layering textures. Incorporate different materials, such as cosy knit blankets like our Harlequin Dream Plush Throw, plush velvet pillows, and our Canyon rugs.
Split Your SectionalTry splitting your sectional into different sections to create distinct seating areas. This arrangement is more versatile and flexible. Not only can you accommodate different seating preferences, but also create a more inviting and versatile space.
In addition, our Moderna Coffee Table or Dalton Slimline Ottoman in between the split sections creates a functional and central focal point.
Choose a Sculptural Coffee TableOpt for a coffee table that not only serves its purpose but also adds a sculptural element to your entertaining space, like our Regent Oval Coffee Table. Look for unique designs with interesting shapes, textures, or materials that can become a conversation starter, better yet if it has storage like our Manto Coffee Table.
Let Your Personality ShineDesigning an entertaining space in your home is a creative endeavour that requires careful consideration, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. By layering textures, selecting suitable accessories and incorporating cosy and neutral elements, you can transform your space into a welcoming and captivating environment.
Last but not least, remember to personalise the space to reflect your unique taste and interests.
