Cosy, Comfy, Cuddly!
These three C’s play a crucial role in selecting furniture for your living room during winter. As the days get shorter and nights get longer, we all wish to come home to a living room that’s both warm and inviting. Our cosy and comfortable furniture inside makes up for the chilly, cold weather outside.
Picture this – you are sitting on a plush sofa with soft cushions in your living room. There’s a warm rug spread underneath and you are sipping hot coffee by the fireplace. It can’t get cosier than this. At Valentines Furniture, that’s how we help you embrace winter. Here are some furniture design ideas to transform your living room in Bendigo into a haven of comfort and style.
Push For Plush UpholsterySofas, chairs, and recliners prepared from soft fabrics like velvet, wool, chenille, or thick cotton make your living spaces warm and inviting. Besides adding a touch of elegance, these opulent fabrics are known to retain heat. This brings an additional layer of comfort to your seating arrangement as it stays warm and cuddle-worthy during the winter months.
Fabric sofas or well-cushioned sofas are synonymous with snugness. Extra padding equals extra comfort. They also come in multiple colours and styles, giving you ample options to choose from according to your taste and budget. Choose from our exclusive range of sofas and recliners. Our quality is unmatched and they will suit your décor to the tee.
The Leather FactorNothing stands the test of time better than leather furniture. It’s a classy option that is timeless, sophisticated and highly durable. There is a misconception that leather sofas become quite cold during winter. Leather furniture tends to feel cold at first, but they tend to absorb and retain heat.
There’s nothing warmer and more comforting than snuggling up in your leather recliner or sofa. It also adds to the aesthetic appeal of your living room. Contact us today to learn about our exquisite range of genuine leather sofas, recliners and accent chairs.
Go The Modular WayAs the winter sets in, the fireplace in your living room becomes the focal point. We rearrange our furniture to get access to the best spot in the room – the one closest to the fireside. This is where modular furniture comes in handy. It offers better customisation, and flexibility and adds a modern touch to our indoor space.
They are easy to assemble and can be accommodated in any given space, making it a customer’s top pick while redesigning or moving furniture. Our Modular sofas are popular pieces in Bendigo homes. They can be customized and are crafted to perfection to suit your space, style and comfort. Mix and match till you find the ideal combination for your living room.
At Valentines Furniture, our modular furniture is available in a variety of materials. This includes beautiful soft leather upholstery and quality fabric designs. Upgrade your abode, and switch to modular mode!
Details Do MatterLittle things matter more and the same holds good for furniture as well. Appearances are important but we have to look beyond that to ensure complete comfort to combat the cold.
While choosing a sofa or chair, ensure that it has a deep seat or plenty of back support. This makes it the perfect refuge for long, lazy and cosy winter evenings. If you have extra space, utilise it by buying a recliner. It is relaxing and gives you a cocooning feel.
Accessorise AppropriatelyFurniture without the right accessories can be a disaster. They enhance both appeal and comfort factor. Pick warm accessories like fluffy cushions or plush velvet throw pillows. Add in some thick, faux fur blankets and layered rugs for extra warmth.
Choose your materials carefully – go for woollen options to complement the weather outside. Incorporate warm wood accents to evoke a rusting charm in your living room. Opt for soft lighting line warm-toned lamps to add to the cosy factor. Warm colours create a sense of intimacy in the room.
It’s important to strike the right balance. Do not over-accessorise, and at the same time don’t leave out the essentials. Get in touch with our experts at Valentines Furniture. Make your home visually inviting and winter-ready.
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.
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.

Consider investing in a sofa with bright and bold patterns, or soft creams and white upholstery to bring in the essence of Summer. Blues, soft creams, and bold colours are all the rage this season. They add a splash of colour, or soothing beach feel, and create an inviting atmosphere.
2. Homewares with EleganceHomewares are the heart and soul of any room’s décor. Adding the right accessories can make a difference when it comes to Summer. Valentines Furniture offers artwork, a range of rugs, and lighting and lamp options to help you spruce up your living room.

When you have a big family, finding the perfect sofa that accommodates everyone comfortably becomes a top priority. As the heart of your home, a sofa must be more than just stylish. It should withstand the test of time, bustling gatherings, and the occasional mishaps that come with a large family.
This article explores the essential factors to consider when choosing the right sofa for your large family.
Size and Seating CapacityWhen you have a big family, size matters. A bigger family will require a sofa with ample seating space to accommodate everyone without feeling cramped.
First, measure the dimensions of your living room and evaluate how much space you can dedicate to the sofa. You want your sofa to stay in the room and, better, fit. Opt for sofas with deep cushions and a wide seating area to ensure maximum comfort.
Furthermore, focus on the seating capacity of the sofa. A sofa that comfortably seats four people may not be sufficient for a family of six or more. Look for large sofas like our Memphis Modular from Valentines Furniture Bendigo that can accommodate the entire family with additional space for guests.
Durability and Sturdy MaterialsWith a big family, your sofa will likely endure more wear and tear than usual. To withstand the rigours of daily life, opt for sofas constructed with sturdy and long-lasting materials. High-quality fabrics or microfiber are excellent choices as they are resilient and easy to clean, making them perfect for families with children and pets.
Avoid delicate materials that fray easily or get damaged by spills and stains. Above all, consider the frame material; hardwood frames, like oak or maple, are known for their strength and durability. On the other hand, metal frames provide excellent support and are less susceptible to warping or bending. They are known for their durability and can ensure your sofa lasts many years.
The Martelli Modular sofa from Homewares Bendigo is ideal for big families with its spacious design, robust frame, and stain-resistant fabric.
The 2/3rds RuleWant to make sure your sofa looks perfect in your living room? Follow the 2/3rds rule for a harmonious alignment.
According to the 2/3rds Rule, the length of your sofa should not exceed two-thirds of the total length of your living room walls. This way, you can prevent the sofa from overpowering the space and maintain a balanced and visually appealing environment. It also leaves enough space for movement and other furniture pieces.
When considering the 2/3rds rule, consider other furniture and elements in the room, such as coffee tables, side tables, and entertainment units.
Modular or Sectional SofasSectional sofas or L-shaped designs can be excellent choices for big families, offering generous seating arrangements. Their adaptability and versatility allow you to create various seating configurations that fit your family’s needs and available space.
With modular sofas like our Sienna Modular, you can rearrange individual pieces to form different layouts, ensuring everyone has their spot on the sofa. Furthermore, these sofas are great for optimising space, as you can customise the size and shape to fit any room, whether large or small. The ability to add or remove sections makes them an ideal solution for growing families.
Concluding ThoughtsChoosing the right sofa for your big family takes more work. It involves thoughtful consideration of various factors. From spaciousness to durability and flexibility, finding the perfect fit requires informed decision-making.
With modular sofas that grant endless adaptability, create a symmetrical arrangement that resonates with your family’s unique dynamics.
Investing in a quality sofa will enhance your family’s comfort and enjoyment. So, take your time, explore various options, and select the perfect sofa that brings joy and togetherness to your big family.
Mastering the art of maximizing small spaces is a skill that involves creatively utilising every available inch of room to create a functional and visually appealing environment. With urban living on the rise and cozy apartments becoming the norm, selecting the right furniture can make all the difference. Whether you’re in a snug studio or a compact apartment, strategic furniture choices can create a sense of openness and functionality.
Keep it SimpleWhen it comes to furnishing a small space, simplicity is your best friend. Opt for sofas with skinny arms and a tight, upholstered back. Say goodbye to the bulky, fat-armed couches of old; Sleeker options like our Arna Lifestyle 3 Seater not only save space but also exude a modern charm.
For dining tables, look for designs with slender legs that take up minimal visual weight. The Adele Dining Table, with its simple and practical design, ticks all the right boxes.
Built-In StorageSpace-saving furniture should be as practical as it is stylish. Seek out pieces that offer built-in storage solutions. The Storage Ottoman with hidden compartments provides a clever way to stow away items. This keeps them out of sight and frees up more floor space.
Furthermore, tables with drawers or shelves can hold daily essentials without cluttering the surface. Our Manto Coffee Table is not only a sleek addition to your living room, but it also holds enough storage.
Multi-Tasking FurnitureIn small spaces, every piece of furniture should earn its keep. Embrace multi-functional designs that serve more than one purpose. The York – Sofa & Sofa Bed, for example, serves as a comfortable seating area during the day and transforms into a pull-out bed when guests stay over.
Get creative with your choices; a dresser can double as a nightstand, and a storage cart can become a mobile kitchen island. Along the same line, our Brooklyn Hall Table, with its black iron frame, fits in any room seamlessly, from the kitchen to the living room.
By integrating these versatile pieces, you’ll make the most of your limited space.
Low-Slung FurnitureFurniture with a low profile is a smart solution for small rooms. Low-slung pieces like the Adele Coffee Table create the illusion of higher ceilings, making the space feel airier.
This design trick not only opens up the room visually but also provides a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Remember, it’s not just about how much floor space you have; it’s also about how the space appears and feels.
Stackable PiecesWhen floor space is at a premium, think vertical. Opt for stackable furniture that can be easily stored when not in use. Stools and dining chairs that stack neatly can be pulled out when needed and tucked away when the dining area is not in use.
Our Vico Dining Setting, compact and modern, can be a great solution for maximising small spaces. Its stackable stools and dining chairs provide flexible seating options that can be stored away when not needed.
Move it to the WallsOne of the golden rules for furnishing small spaces is to move furniture toward the walls. This tactic leaves the center of the room open, creating an illusion of more space. Install bookshelves directly on the wall, maximising vertical storage without encroaching on the floor area.
Or you could move the table directly to the wall. Made from American Oak, the Adele Buffet, with its sleek frame, could be pushed directly to the walls.
Revitalise Your Living Space with Valentines’ Furniture!Discover the art of maximizing small spaces and creating functional havens with our expert tips. Whether it’s cozy apartments or snug studios, the right furniture transforms your environment.
Embark on a journey into a realm of refined designs and unmatched comfort, meticulously curated to harmonise with your unique lifestyle. Your home, a canvas waiting to be adorned with both style and practicality, is just a step away from its transformation.
Seize the opportunity to turn your living space into a symphony of sophistication and functionality. Visit Valentines Furniture Shop today and let your home reflect the art of living beautifully.
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 FurnitureWhen 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 FurnitureProportion 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 StylesThe 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.
SectionalsSectionals 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 SofasThe 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.
ReclinerRecliners 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 RemarksOversized 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.
