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.

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 TwistA 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 RoomContemporary 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 PaletteA 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 RoomsA 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 BeautifulA 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 WallAn 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 RoomA 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 RoomFor 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 AccessoriesAccessories 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 ColorConsider 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.

1. Determine Your Living Room SpaceSpace is the most essential aspect of a living room. Whether you want a coffee table or end tables, or consoles, you need to buy one that fits comfortably without overwhelming the space. Your living room table should provide the look of spaciousness. If you have a large living room, you can comfortably go for chunkier pieces or even both consoles and coffee tables. So, start by planning where you need a table to assume an appropriate size that’ll fit beautifully within your sofa or living room set up.
2. Consider Your NeedsIt is vital to consider why exactly you need a coffee table. Is it for storage? Or is it for serving food or drinks to guests? Or maybe just to accompany your sofa to the side? Answering these questions will help you choose the right one. For instance, a coffee table or side table is highly functional. You can use them to place books, snacks, or your TV remote so that you can reach them easily. Then, we have console tables. A console table is mainly a decorative piece that you can place against a wall or behind your sofa. And then there are buffets, used as both a storage and decorative piece of furniture. Ottomans are also excellent choices that you can use as a centrepiece and leg rest. There are also storage ottomans.
3. Consider the Architecture of Your Living RoomAs living room tables are a make or break situation, you need to choose one that flows with the architecture and theme of your living room. It includes your windows, columns, existing sofas or couches, shelves, wall decor and other elements. It also covers colour coordination. Matching them takes time but is not impossible as living room tables are available in different shapes like rectangular, circular, square, or oval. They also come in different sizes and materials. So, choose an accent table that resonates with the decor elements of your living room.
4. Know Your SofaWhen buying a living room table, make sure you know the shape, size and colour of your lounge or sofa to choose a table easily. Most modular lounges pair well with modern oversized coffee tables. Also, consider the seating arrangement. For instance, for an L-shaped sofa, a rectangular coffee table is perfect. And end tables are ideal choices for chaise lounges. If you consider end tables, you should choose ones that do not exceed the height and depth of your sofa’s arm.
5. Know Your StyleFinally, it’s time to consider your style. Whether you like it sleek, wooden piece, a glass top, or a metallic chrome frame, colourful or playful, an accent piece or minimalist – it’s all your choice. The thumb rule is just make sure you don’t overdo your living room.
