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 Comfort

The 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 Decor

Country 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 Dull

Neutral 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 Patterns

While 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 Colors

Earthy 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.

Comments Off on How To Create an Entertaining Space in Your Bendigo Home

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 Textures

Adding 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 Area

A 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 Space

Designating 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 Style

When 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 Neutral

Create 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 Sectional

Try 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 Table

Opt 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 Shine

Designing 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.

Create the perfect entertaining space in your Bendigo home with Valentines Furniture. Transform your room with our armchairs, hand-woven rugs, sectionals, and plush throws. Visit us today and bring your vision to life!

We have a wide variety of furniture suitable for entertainment spaces, from LazyBoy sofas to Moran furniture, Scappini and IMG Recliners Chairs & Sofas.

Comments Off on The Art of Accent Chairs: How to Choose the Perfect Statement Piece for Your Space

When decorating any space, an accent chair can be a game-changer. This versatile piece of furniture can serve as a statement piece that adds style and functionality to any room. An accent chair is perfect if you want to add a pop of colour, create a cozy reading nook, or provide extra seating.

However, selecting the right one can take time and effort with so many options. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you choose the perfect accent chair for your space.

Function

When choosing an accent chair, it’s essential to consider its intended function. Start by identifying its primary purpose. For example, will it be a chair for reading, a decorative item, or both? Knowing the chair’s intended use will assist you in narrowing down your choices and choosing a chair that meets your requirements.

A piece like the Camino Wing Chair works best as a comfortable reading nook and a decorative element.

Style

The style of the accent chair plays a crucial role in the room’s overall look. Therefore, choosing a chair style that complements the space’s aesthetic is best. Consider whether you want the chair to blend in or stand out as a focal point. You can explore different design styles, like modern, traditional, eclectic, or minimalist, and choose a chair that matches your preferred style.

If in doubt, go for something classic and minimalist, like our Pavillion Etienne Armchair. The traditional piece can work best with any design style.

Comfort

Comfort is crucial when it comes to an accent chair. Take into account seat depth, cushion firmness, and back support. Moreover, think about how you plan to use the chair. For example, will you sit for long periods, or is it primarily for occasional use? You can opt for a less comfortable option if it is used only occasionally.

If you plan to sit for extended periods, choose a chair that provides the appropriate comfort level, like our Alva Swivel Chair from Lazboy.

Placement

The placement of the accent chair is crucial for creating a balanced and harmonious arrangement. Consider the layout of your room and ensure the chair fits well within the available space.

Ensure the chair fits well within the available space and doesn’t overpower or overcrowd the area. Experiment with different placement options to find the perfect spot for your accent chair.

Durability

Durability is essential, especially if you want your accent chair to last for years. By investing in a well-made chair, you can ensure that it will withstand the test of time. Look for chairs made from high-quality materials and built with sturdy construction. Additionally, you should consider the wear and tear the chair may experience and select fabrics or finishes that are easy to maintain and clean.

We at Valentine’s have some of the best and most durable accent chairs available. Our chairs are crafted from high-quality materials and constructed for years of use.

Fabric and Finish

The fabric and finish of the accent chair contribute significantly to its overall look and feel. You can add visual interest to your space by opting for patterned or textured fabrics. Instead of artisan fabrics, go for performance-based fabrics keeping in mind the durability required for your specific needs. It is essential to also think about UV damage and select materials resistant to fading. Our store offers a range of easy-to-clean-and-maintain fabrics and finishes, making our chairs a wise investment for any home.

Find That Perfect Accent Chair

With its unique design and attention-grabbing presence, an accent chair can instantly transform the ambience of a space. It is a focal point, drawing the eye and creating visual interest. From bold patterns to luxurious fabrics, the options are endless when choosing an accent chair.

Finding the best accent chair for your room requires thoughtful consideration of its function, style, comfort, placement, durability, and fabric or finish. However, choosing the perfect accent chair for your space requires thoughtful consideration. Take your time to explore different options, sit in the chairs, and envision how they will fit into your room’s overall design.

Complete your space with the perfect accent chair from Valentine’s Furniture. With a wide selection of stylish and comfortable options, you can find the ideal addition that will elevate your home’s aesthetic and practicality.

Comments Off on The Oversized Furniture Trend in Living Rooms

Oversized furniture has been gaining popularity in the world of interior design, with many homeowners looking to add a tinge of drama and luxury to their living rooms. From oversized sofas and sectionals to recliners and sofa beds, oversized furniture offers a unique way to transform any living space into a cozy, inviting retreat.

However, incorporating oversized furniture into your living room can be daunting, particularly if you are not used to working with such large pieces. This article takes you through everything you need to know about oversized furniture, how to style it and three must-have pieces for your living room.

What is Oversized Furniture?

Oversized furniture is exactly what it means. Any piece 2-3 times the size of the regular furniture is referred to as oversized furniture.

Oversized furniture pieces are characterized by their larger-than-life proportions, making them a focal point of any room. Not only do they offer comfort, but they also make a bold statement and add sophistication to any space.

Choosing the Right Oversized Furniture

When choosing oversized furniture, it is important to consider the size and layout of your living room. Remember that oversized furniture works best in large living rooms with high ceilings. If your living room is small or has low ceilings, oversized furniture may not be the best option since it can overwhelm a smaller space.

You may also want to consider the overall style and colour scheme of your living room when choosing oversized pieces. For example, oversized pieces in neutral colours or sleek leather finishes work well in a modern or minimalist room. On the other hand, traditional decor requires bold colours and patterns for that flair.

Styling Oversized Furniture

Proportion is the key to making oversized furniture work in a living room. Pair them with other pieces that complement their size and style.

Start by choosing one oversized piece as the focal point of the room. This could be a big sofa or sectional or a large recliner.

While oversized pieces are meant to make a statement, they should still be in proportion with the rest of the room. For example, a large sectional should be balanced with small side tables. On the other hand, an oversized recliner or armchair should be paired with a coffee table.

Another way to incorporate oversized furniture into your living room is to create different seating areas. For example, a large sectional with a couple of armchairs and a coffee table forms a cozy conversation area. For a little reading nook, just place a large reading chair or recliner with a coffee table in the corner of the room.

Popular Oversized Furniture Styles

The trend of oversized furniture has mainly been driven by a desire for comfort, style, and luxury. Let’s explore some of the popular oversized furniture styles that are making waves in living rooms.

Sectionals

Sectionals are essentially oversized sofas designed to be arranged in different configurations, L-shaped or U-shaped, to fit any space. Being oversized, they provide ample seating for large families or entertaining guests.

Others serve as a room divider, separating the living room from the dining room, much like our Sienna Modular. It can also double up as a recliner and a 2 & 3-seat sofa. The end seats are also designed to move independently.

Chesterfield Sofas

The Chesterfield sofa is a classic piece that has been around for centuries. It is well known for its iconic button-tufted back and rolled arms. Upholstered in luxurious leather, velvet, or linen, it is available in a wide range of colours.

The oversized version of the sofa is an excellent alternative to a traditional sofa. The Merry Widow Chesterfield by Moran Furniture is the symbol of excellent craftsmanship. It is perfect for those who are looking for a more traditional feel.

Recliner

Recliners are ideal for relaxing and rewinding after a long day. They are simply the epitome of comfort and style, and our Grand Avenger is even more so. Grand Avenger by La-Z-Boy is an excellent alternative to a traditional sofa or armchair. They are a comfortable and casual seating option perfect for relaxing and lounging.

Final Remarks

Oversized furniture is a great way to make a bold statement in any living room. Whether you prefer traditional or modern styles, there is an oversized furniture option to suit your style. From sectionals to recliners, oversized pieces provide both comfort and style to any living room. Visit our furniture store in Bendigo at Valentines Furniture for all the latest designer trends in oversized furniture.

Comments Off on 10 Living Room Design Ideas

The living room is the heart of any home. It’s where you gather as a family and also entertain guests. It’s also where you can showcase your personal style. A well-designed living room can make all the difference in how you feel about your home. Whether starting from scratch or just looking for inspiration, these 10 living room design ideas will help you create a space you’ll love.

Classic Living Room with a Modern Twist

A classic living room is characterised by elegant furniture, rich colours, and ornate details. Cozy sofas with exposed legs, like our Windsor Lowback in a rich red colour, are a remainder from the late 19th century. Alternatively, you can also go for neutral colours like beige and ivory to showcase the beauty of the furniture.

Contemporary Living Room

Contemporary living rooms are characterised by sleek and clean lines, minimalist décor, and neutral colour palettes. Incorporate furniture with simple designs and clean lines, like a modern leather sofa. Imagine our Tempo Modular, complete with the Coral Maize Knitted Throw and Noble rug.

Metallic accessories like lamps, like our Bunker White Weave Table Lamp, add a touch of glam.

Neutral Color Palette

A neutral colour palette creates a calming atmosphere and works well in any space. So, choose your furniture in muted tones like our grey Arna Lifestyle 2.5 Seater or beige Prague 3 Seater.

Touches of textures and patterns add interest to your neutral living room without overwhelming the space. Our Rio Chevron Throw not only adds a splash of colour but also brings a visual appeal.

Minimal Living Rooms

A minimal living room design is all about clutter-free living space, simplicity, and functionality. Think of a streamlined sofa like our Aurora Stressless Ambassador with matching chairs.  Accessorise with a few carefully chosen decorative objects and keep clutter to a minimum. For example, our Manhattan Round Coffee Table, with its slender Gold look iron frame, adds to the modern element.

Bright, Bold, and Beautiful

A living room in vibrant colours and bold patterns is ideal for those who aren’t afraid to take risks with their design choices. Jewel tones like sapphire blue, ruby red and jade green work well in this design. Don’t be afraid to use bold hues.

When it comes to furniture, choose pieces with clean lines like our IMG Portsea 2.5 seater High Back Sofa and Rocco Table Lamp to keep the focus on the colours.

Accent Wall

An accent wall is a great way to add personality to your living room. Choose one wall and paint it in a bold colour or add patterned wallpaper. Keep the other walls neutral to let the accent wall take centre stage.

In terms of furniture, go with traditional furniture like our Dior for a sophisticated look.

White Living Room

A white living room is all about simplicity, light and an airy feel. White walls and decor are visually appealing if you have large windows with natural light pouring in.

To create a white living room, start with a white sofa like our Vermont 3 Seater Sofa or this white sectional, Amalphi Sectional Modular. Then, follow it up with white accent chairs like our Stressless Skyline Medium Chair + Stool.

Monochromatic Living Room

For a living room that feels cohesive and calming, consider a monochromatic design, say, black and white. The limited colours play the risk of falling flat if not used appropriately. Repeat the colours throughout the living room in various layers and patterns to prevent that. For example, our black sectional, Memphis Modular, adds stark contrast and visual interest. In the same line is our Vico TV Unit which fits right into your aesthetic with bonus storage space.

Living Room Accessories

Accessories are an essential part of living room design. They add personality, warmth, and character to a space. Choose accessories that complement the style and colour scheme of the room, such as throws, rugs, and artwork.

You can also add antique wooden tables, such as our Regent Oval Coffee Table, to add a touch of elegance.

Statement Color

Consider incorporating a statement colour into your living room design. This can be done in various ways, from a bold colour on an accent wall to an unusual pattern or brightly coloured furniture. For example, a bright red armchair from Scapinni makes a statement in an otherwise neutral room.

Depending on how you play with the accessories, they create a lively and dynamic space without overwhelming it. Come visit us at Valentines Furniture Store in Bendigo, Victoria, for all the best advice on styling your living room.

Comments Off on Create Tranquil Spaces With Your Furniture & Homewares Choices

You may sometimes feel like you return home to an unbalanced living space, despite your best efforts to create a tranquil home. You can take these small steps to create a serene home environment that will help you calm down after a busy day.

With the help of some perfect pieces from Stressless Furniture, you can create a sense of peace and tranquility in your home.

1.    Hide Screens and Designate Space

Spending the entire day with electronics and returning home to face them can mentally drain you. The wires from digital goods create a lot of clutter– hiding them will help to create a tranquil space.

Designating a space for digital goods will create a relaxing area. Choose an area with good natural light where you can meditate, read, or simply rest. You can add a recliner in the space to give you an ultimate sense of peace.

The Stressless Recliners available at Valentines Furniture offer comfort and relaxation, with a stylish twist. The Stressless Recliner range is available in a range of colours to suit any home décor and to meet the requirements of creating a relaxing space.

Similarly, keeping phones away during family time also helps to improve mood and liven up the space. Apart from the space, digital detox also allows you to improve sleep. If you cannot mentally rest at home next time– hide your smartphones and TV to create a tranquil space.

2.    Select Soothing Colours

When selecting a colour to create a tranquil space, you should consider its psychological effects. Soft, neutral colours such as white, beige, and gray can help to create a calming atmosphere. Since blues and greens are linked with nature, they are also popular for creating a tranquil space. You can also include shades of purple, which has a calming effect.

Avoid using loud or bright colours, as these can be visually overwhelming. Instead, opt for softer, more muted shades to help create a warm and comforting atmosphere. It is also important to stick to a colour palette. You can also combine complementary shades of colour to promote tranquility.

The Stressless Magic Recliner range comes in a range of soft tone colours so you’ll be sure to soften your space with a Stressless Magic Recliner. From warm beige to soft browns, Stressless have the perfect recliner for you.

3.    Cultivate Green Indoors

You can add plants and natural elements, such as wood or stone, to help create a sense of serenity and peace. Bringing in the outdoors can stimulate the brain and create a relaxing atmosphere.

Cultivating a green scene will enhance the furniture and house homewares. Similarly, the very act of taking care of indoor plants is a therapeutic exercise. An elegant Orchid adds aesthetics to your place, and its beautiful colour complements the homewares.

4.    Declutter Regularly

Opening the door to see an unorganised space can be overwhelming and add mental stress. An important factor in creating a tranquil space with your furniture and house homewares is to keep the space clutter-free. You can do this by decluttering regularly and keeping items you truly love in the space.

A cluttered area will block airflow, which is essential to creating a tranquil space. Adopting a minimalist mindset can help declutter and create a free-flowing space. Bulky furniture and heavy shutters also create clutter at home. Replacing them with lighter furniture and sheer curtains creates an airy space, ideal for relaxation.

5.    Pay Attention to Materials

Materials are an underrated item when creating a tranquil space with your furniture and house homewares. Use natural materials like wood and stone to create a tranquil space. Natural fibers like cotton and linen also add warmth to a room.

Swap any plastics in your furniture and house homewares for reusable items. This helps to reduce waste and caring for the environment creates a personal sense of well-being.

Create Tranquil Spaces in Bendigo

To create a tranquil space, one of the most important things to remember is to invest in furniture and homeware the will last for the long term. A comfortable chair or sofa can significantly affect how relaxing a space feels. High-quality furniture can also last longer, making it a worthwhile investment for creating a tranquil space.

Comments Off on How To Create The Ultimate Cosy Country Living Space

Are you looking to create the ultimate cosy country living space? There are many ways to capture the countryside’s rustic charm and natural beauty in your design. Whether you live in a rural home or simply want to bring a touch of the countryside into your urban abode.

In this blog post, we’ll share some tips and ideas for creating a warm and inviting country living space that is both practical and stylish. Follow these tips to create a truly your own space to personalise the space with your favourite house and homewares, as well as some classic sofas and pieces of furniture.

The Lazyboy Furniture brand provides a range of options to create that perfect relaxed or modern country style in your home.

1.    Use Raked Ceilings

Raked ceilings are a type of ceiling that slopes or angles downward from one end of the room to the other. This type of ceiling is often found in loft spaces, attic rooms, and other high-ceilinged areas. They can create a unique and visually interesting architectural feature– giving a country living vibe.

Raked ceilings often allow for the installation of windows at the upper end of the room. This maximises natural light and creates a sense of spaciousness, which is necessary for country living spaces.

2.    Pick Rustic Sofas

A rustic sofa can help to create the ultimate cosy country living space by adding a touch of charm and character to the room. Rustic furniture is often made from natural materials like wood and leather. This helps to create a sense of connection with the outdoors and enhances the rustic charm of the space.

In addition, rustic furniture often has a vintage look, which can add interest and depth to the space. When selecting a rustic sofa for your space, consider choosing a piece that complements the overall country design. Finally, don’t forget to add cosy touches, such as plush throw pillows and soft blankets, to make the sofa even more comfortable and inviting.

The Avenger 3 Seater from Lazyboy Furniture creates a stylish yet country feel in any home. This modern style country sofa comes in warm colours that will effortlessly blend with any country home.

3.    Choose Natural Fabrics

Natural fabrics, such as cotton, and linen, are known for their warmth and comfort. They can help create a cosy, homely feel in any space and are particularly well-suited to country-style decor. Natural fabrics are also eco-friendly and sustainable, which can add to a room’s overall atmosphere. In addition, natural fabrics are durable and long lasting, making them a worthy investment.

The Lazyboy Canyon Recliner comes in a stylish brown fabric that will not only provide comfort and relaxation but will bring in the natural fabric country feel you’re looking for. You can match the Canyon recliner with the 2 and 3 seater recliner sofas from Lazyboy to complete the look in your living room.

4.    Embrace Large Windows and High Ceilings

Large windows and high ceilings can create a spacious and open feel in a country living space. The natural light that floods through the windows makes the space feel bright and inviting.

Similarly, the high ceilings help create a sense of grandeur and openness. This can help create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere well-suited to country living.

5.    Use House Homewares to Create a Country Feel

Paintings can help create a country living space by adding colour, texture, and visual interest to the white walls. They can help to personalise the space and make it feel more homely and inviting.

In a country-style living space, paintings of rural scenes create a sense of connection to the surrounding landscape. Similarly, still paintings such as fruit baskets and flowers will enhance the living space to create a country living vibe.

In addition to paintings, mirrors add textures to walls. They reflect light making the rooms feel brighter and bigger. To give your space a country living vibe, use mirrors with rustic frames. They also help to add elegance and sophistication to your living space, elevating the overall design.

Comments Off on How To Choose the Right Sofa Colour and Style

Having the right sofa colour and style sets the tone for the whole room. When you use the perfect colour and style, your sofa will complement the room, bringing out the best in your space rather than dominating it. But here’s the thing: the process of picking the right sofa can be a daunting task. Most importantly, finding one that matches with other furniture. So, to help you with this task, we’ll highlight some tips to help you choose the right sofa colour and style.

1. Start with the intended use in mind

A sofa is an investment, and you would want it to last as long as possible. You should consider the end use of your sofa when choosing the colour and style. Knowing how you will use the sofa will help you to make your decision faster.

Sofas in the living room used to entertain guests will likely wear and tear quickly. In such cases, the rugged Chesterfields are a great option to consider placing in lobbies. If you have children at home, leather sofas are easy to clean compared to fabric upholstery. The Modulars are also excellent options if you use sofas to relax daily.

2. Pay attention to pattern and colour

Often, people only focus on the colour when buying a sofa. Note that the right fabric pattern helps bring out the best in colour. So if you are looking for a sofa to be the centre of attention in the room, then you should definitely pick one with a bold pattern. They are ideal to be placed anywhere to host guests as bold patterns and colours are more inviting and fun.

The sofas in Bendigo, such as the Blaze and Vivaldi, come in a bold pattern. They are also perfect for combining and contrasting white or neutral colour walls.

3. Pick the right placement and colour shade

Consider the right placement for your sofa when picking out the colour and style. A leather sofa might look good in a room but placing it under direct sunlight reduces its beautifully dyed leather upholstery. UV exposure destroys the leather sofa, which will only fade after a few months.

Fabric sofas tend to fare better with sun exposure and are perfect in areas that receive high and direct sunlight. Besides picking the right placement, choosing a lighter shade sofa such as the Arna Lifestyle and Maison also helps. They can be placed under direct sunlight and will take longer to fade.

4. Match your tastes and design

Your sofa should match your taste and design, including the other furniture. So, consider your interior design styles, such as modern minimalist or bohemian, to match your sofa colour and style. Mixing modern sofas like Prague with neoclassical interiors can be a design disaster.

5. The last resort is neutral

If you are confused about the right sofa colour and style, then it is best to choose neutral shades. They are the easiest to work with and the most versatile option. Neutral colours offer a subtle but still stylish look. Simply adding a pastel shade of blue or green cushions in a neutral sofa would subtly inject some colour.
