Your sofa is the hero of your lounge room and one of the most used pieces of furniture in the home. Whether you are buying your first sofa, replacing an old one or upgrading to something more suitable for your growing family, here is why you should choose a modular sofa from Valentines Furniture.

What Is a Modular Sofa?

Modular sofas get their name because they are made up of several ‘modules’ that fit together like a puzzle to create one completed piece of furniture. One of the biggest benefits of choosing a modular is the flexibility you get as they can be rearranged to suit your needs. They often include a chaise, so you can kick your feet back and relax, or even lay down for a nap!

Modular Features

Most modular sofas include a chaise or recliner, round or straight corner, left or right-hand configuration and an I, L or U shape layout. This means no matter the size or shape of your space, your modular can be changed around to fit perfectly. You can shift things around for movie nights, family nights or parties, depending on how many guests you have to accommodate.

Stylish and Timeless

Modular sofas come in a range of shapes, sizes, materials, and styles. Whether you’re after something fabric, leather or microsuede, you are guaranteed to find something to perfectly suit your décor. Modulars are timeless as they allow you to change the look of the sofa as your family grows and changes.

Purchasing a new sofa is a big decision. Your sofa is the beating heart of your living space, it’s what you fall into at the end of a long day, where you share family movie nights with the kids and enjoy a glass of wine with friends. That being said, it’s important to get it right!

When it comes to comfort, there’s no looking past a luxury leather sofa. At Valentine’s Furniture, we only stock the highest quality, expertly designed sofas, made with comfort in mind. With brands like Lazy Boy, Avenger, Cambridge and more, you are guaranteed to get comfort like never before!

Longevity

Purchasing a sofa is an investment and you always want to choose something that will last as long as possible. Higher quality materials such as leather are always going to last longer than cheaper, synthetic materials. The leather is known for being resistant to tears, holes and other damage.

Maintenance

Leather sofas are the perfect choice for families. When children and pets are involved… so is a mess! They are easy to clean when compared with fabric choices, as they only require a simple wipe down when spillages occur.

Appearance

There is something sleek and classic about a leather lounge. They add a sense of elegance and class to a room in a way that fabric cannot. If you are after something timeless, that will never lose its charm, then there is no looking past a luxury leather sofa.

Health

Leather sofas are hypoallergenic, and they don’t accumulate dust mites or pet hair, making them the ideal choice for people with allergies.

La-Z-Boy has been the trusted name in recliner chairs since 1928.With 70 years of experience in designing and manufacturing furniture, they have certainly got it down to a fine art and are now the most trusted name in recliner chairs around the world.

La-Z-Boy is Iconic

Whilst La-Z-Boy was founded in America, its still a largely iconic name here in Australia. When most Aussies think of recliner chairs, La-Z-Boy is usually the first name that comes to mind. Why? Because reclining chairs were invented by the two cousins who started La-Z-Boy in1928! In 1961 however, the business really took off when the La-Z-Boy brand introduced recliners that not only reclined but rocked too. That year, sales went from around $1 million a year to over and above $52 million in the following 10 years. From there the La-Z-Boy brand introduced other types of furniture such as reclining sofas, fold-out sofa beds, and modular sofas.

Quality is Paramount

La-Z-Boy is well known for the quality of their recliners. Each piece is carefully and thoughtfully constructed with comfort and durability in mind. Every recliner is made from the highest quality hardwoods and reinforced with steel for strength. They also have a patented 4-sided ‘Unibody design’ which can only be found in La-Z-Boy recliners.

This means everyone who sits in a La-Z-Boy recliner will experience full body support with a focus on lumbar comfort, regardless of their seating position. Many other recliner brands construct their chairs with the back separate from the seat which results in a loss of lumbar support.

The Best La-Z-Boy Prices

La-Z-Boy is a family owned business just like us here at Valentines Furniture. So, for the most competitive La-Z-Boy furniture prices, contact Valentine’s furniture in Bendigo today.

If you’ve been looking for a new recliner to incorporate into your home or office space, one that provides pure, honest comfort and welcomes you into relaxation the moment you sit down, then look no further than the Stressless recliner chair.

Not only are the Stressless recliners the most comfortable seating experience on the market, they also offer flexibility with a range of colours and materials to choose from and have been expertly crafted with sustainability and eco-friendliness in mind.

The Stressless recliners consist of beautiful, sustainably sourced leather; soft, luxurious fabrics and strong, European Beechwood. The leather and fabrics come in a range of colours and the Beechwood comes in different finishes, allowing you to select the perfect look for your home or office.

These recliners also comprise of a multifaceted set of springs and a soft, quality foam that gently supports your entire body as you sink into it. All aspects of the Stressless recliner have been assembled with the highest level of comfort and enjoyment in mind.

Our Stressless range also consists of a free-standing ottoman that we believe makes a big difference to your seating experience. The ottoman is key to comfort and relaxation. When you fully relax into your recliner, your legs naturally move forward, leaving the ottoman to support them with its built-in glide function which gives a feeling of complete weightlessness.

In today’s stressful world, we seldom have time to sit down and relax so when we do, we want maximum comfort. The Stressless recliners have been expertly engineered from the inside out with this in mind. Whilst we take pride on the sleek and modern designed of these recliners, it’s the work that has been put into the internal aspects of the Stressless that really make this recliner unlike anything else on the market. With its advanced lumbar support technology that moves with your body, rather than against it, the patented ‘glide’ technology which allows you to adjust your position effortlessly, the headrest to support your tired head and neck after a long day, and the intelligent 360-degree swivel system; there’s simply nothing else that compares.

In order to be completely comfortable in a seated position, we need freedom of movement. Our bodies are constantly readjusting and have a natural resistance to being in one position for too long. The 360 Swing component of the Stressless recliner allows you to swivel a complete 360 degrees whilst you are seated. This also means that once you have found your most comfortable position, there’s no need to get up when you need to face another direction. With the slightest movement of your foot, you have complete control of your orientation.

The glide system incorporated into each and every one of our Stressless Recliner chairs was designed to give you maximum flexibility in your movement and position, with very minimal effort. The glide system gives you the freedom to smoothly adjust your position, simply by shifting your body weight.

The Plus System was designed to allow you to adjust the position of your head and neck, all the way down to your lumbar area simply by leaning backwards or forwards. We have studied the way the body moves to ensure the headrest and lumbar areas move in complete synchronicity for the perfect reclining experience.

Open plan living is perfect for families and couples who want to bring the main living spaces of the home together as shared spaces. Open plan allows for each area to interact whilst still having its own unique and defined purpose.

An L-shaped space is one of the easiest open plan living area to break up into the three primary living parts of a kitchen, lounge room and dining room. Here’s some ideas on furniture placement in your L-shaped space.

Usually, the L-shape will result in an outdoor area of the home being exposed to the indoors. Having the lounge suite facing the outdoor area, be it a nice garden, a view of the city or mountains or simply a pretty courtyard, really opens up the space even further. You’re options for lounge suites and sofas in this space are pretty broad so you can use your imagination with modular, sofas or recliners with the outdoors as the focal point.

Dining rooms in an L-shaped open plan area should follow the same principle as the lounge area, in that we are keeping the outdoors as the main focus. Positioning dining tables so you and your guests can admire the outdoors creates a great feel.

Most often the kitchen will be the room in the L-shape plan that is off to the side and it’s recommended that it’s joining to the dining room. However, this won’t stop you from creating an openness between the three areas. It’s here where islands and sinks added to benches facing outwards from the kitchen really allow you to feel like it’s one area.

Valentine’s Furniture in Bendigo has the most prestigious range of top designer brand furniture. Our sofas, lounges and dining room tables will create the impeccable accessories to your L-shaped open plan living space.

Open plan living spaces are the perfect way to create multiple spaces that work in harmony together. With the right layout of furniture and homewares you can bring each area together whilst still making each space its own.

Creating an open plan living environment within a square space can come with extra challenges. The space doesn’t break up neatly into three spaces as it does with a long or L-space. Here’s some ideas for laying out your square open plan living space.

Lounge Room

The best way to divide the square open plan area is to spill it in half, with one half the long rectangle lounge, and then split the other half between the kitchen and dining. In this kind of space, the perfect sofa or lounge suite will be something long that can complete and fill the space so it doesn’t feel empty. A long L-shaped or modular sofa will serve the space well. Alternatively, one long with recliners and armchairs that allow for scattered placement will fill the space and make good use of the room.

Dining Room

In your dining room you’ll have the option of using a rectangular, square or round dining table. If you choose a rectangular dining table then it’s best to place it parallel with the kitchen bench or island. You can create boundaries with the kitchen through benches but it can be more difficult defining the line between the lounge and dining. You can create the illusion of lines between the spaces with the placement of the furniture and the use of side tables and rugs.

Kitchen

A kitchen in a square space can really work to combine the kitchen with both the living and dining rooms. You can create a cohesion across the different spaces through shared color schemes and décor. Whilst you can divide them with cleverly placed bench tops and islands.

At Valentine’s Furniture in Bendigo, we carry some of the leading designer brand furniture. Our exquisite pieces will help you to create the perfect square open plan living.
