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 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.

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 Our Collection Of Modular Sofas in Bendigo

Treat your living space and adapt to your needs with quality modular sofas from our furniture store at Bendigo. Valentines Furniture has the largest collection of world-class modular sofas from renowned brands such as Lazyboy, Stressless and IMG to bring the ultimate luxury and comfort to your Bendigo home.

Choosing the Perfect Modular Sofa From Our Furniture Store, Bendigo

Going for modular sofas has more than one benefit. They are versatile, highly functional, and elegant and make the most important decor element in the lounge or living room. To get all the benefits, you must choose the right modular sofa. So, when you shop for a modular sofa, make sure to choose one based on the factors given below.

Comfort

Comfort is the most important factor that you should never overlook. Comfort includes everything from seating options to the cushioning and fabric used in the sofa.

A perfect modular sofa must have generous space for your whole family to snuggle in and relax. If your living room is spacious, consider buying one with extra seating or storage options to meet your future needs.

Also, keep in mind to check for other things like backrest height, cushion filling, seat height and depth to ensure the sofa is comfortable. The best way to decide this is by comfort testing. Comfort test the modular sofa by sitting or lying on it to check if it meets all your comfort needs before purchasing.

Aesthetics

Since sofas make the most of living rooms or lounges, it is essential to consider the aesthetics. So, make sure the sofa matches and coordinates with the other decor elements and furniture that’s already existing in the living room.

Your sofa must match the colour scheme and tone of your interior decor. Alternatively, if you are going for a bold look, then contrasting colour and design is totally fine. Go for neutral tones like cream, grey or brown that are perfect for all kinds of colour schemes and interior decor.

Size also matters in aesthetics. Modular sofas are big, and it’s a no-brainer that some models can be too big for your family— so choose the right size according to your family’s needs, or else they may overcrowd the space and look cramped.

Brand

Another important factor to consider is the brand. A modular sofa from a trusted and renowned brand, for instance, Stressless sofas and Lazyboy sofas, will not only look good, but you can expect quality and performance in every aspect.

Modular sofas from trusted furniture brands will last for many years. They also come with warranty periods and hence are worth investing in them. So, check the brand before purchasing.

Budget

With modular sofas, there’s no need to buy additional chairs or seating, which saves you money from spending on additional seating options.

To treat you with some offer, before purchasing, check if modular sofas from your ideal brand are on sale in our furniture shop at Bendigo.

Maintenance

Maintenance is an essential aspect to consider when choosing a modular sofa for your home. Depending on the fabric and finishes, some models require more maintenance than others. This affects the look and life of your sofa when you have pets and kids.

At Valentines Furniture, we offer a range of materials and fabrics to choose from to suit your needs. We also have high-quality furniture care products to help you maintain your upholstery. We also offer reupholstery services.

Comments Off on A Guide to Choosing the Right Modular Sofa for Your Home

Modular sofas are gorgeous and super comfortable sofas. They add a beautiful purpose to your living room or lounge, painting them with modern aesthetics. They also come in a myriad of colours, designs, shapes, styles, upholstery, and fabrics, making it harder to choose the right one for your living room. Before you head out to a furniture store, go through our brief guide to help you choose the right modular sofa for your home.

What Is a Modular Sofa?

Modular sofas are more like regular sofas but offer more comfort and flexibility. Most importantly, a modern and streamlined look.

How are they flexible? Modular sofas are perfect room-fit comfy seats. You can configure them to your needs and the way you want. You can adjust them according to the layout of your room and size.

They typically come in L shape and U shape, which you can rearrange as long sofa or individual stand-alone pieces. Modern modular sofas also provide reclining options taking your seating experience to the next level. You can also go for chaise lounges to snuggle down with your family and friends.

Things To Consider Before Buying a Modular Sofa

Since sofas make the most part of any living room, you should consider certain things before buying one.

Space

The most important factor of consideration before buying a sectional sofa is to know your space. Your space is the deciding factor to tell how big or small you can go with a modular sofa in your lounge room. Though modular sofas offer endless personalisation options, they are not the right choice when it comes to super-narrow and small living areas.

As lounge rooms are the primary space for entertainment and relaxing, you cannot consume all its space with bulky seating. Some oversized modular sofas with wider armrests, high backs and seats can overwhelm the room space, making it uncomfortable to move around and overpower the other elements. Nevertheless, you can use modular sofas as ideal corner sofas for smaller rooms to save space and add elegance.

Measure your lounge room space before you start looking for modular sofa models. It gives you a rough idea about what type and size of modular sofas can fit perfectly in your lounge room.

Sofa Material and Look

If comfort is your priority, make sure you look for fabrics that provide optimum life and comfort. If you are a high-time sofa person, look for feather filled cushions, reclining and chaise options to enjoy the full benefit of modular sofas. Leather is the most durable that lasts for many years. Then there are cotton and linen fabrics that are also equally comfy and long-lasting.

When you are buying a sofa, you should also consider its looks. These days furniture shops are full of modular and sectional sofas that look great in tricky and complicated areas. However, you should choose one that will look good and match your interiors. You shouldn’t compromise comfort when buying modular sofas. Whether you prefer to lie down or socialise with family and friends, choose ones that’ll better suit your needs. Go through some of our best selling modular sofas here.
