May 2025 Furniture Insights – Trends, Tips & Buying Guides
Welcome to the May 2025 archive. We’ve gathered the most useful articles from the last month so you can get quick answers on everything from the hottest couch styles to keeping your furniture mold‑free.
What’s Hot in Furniture Design
First up, colour. Our "Most Popular Furniture Color in 2024" piece revealed that a muted teal is stealing the show, and the follow‑up "Most Popular Couch Style for 2025" shows that low‑profile modular sofas are now the go‑to for modern living rooms. If you’re thinking about a refresh, start with a neutral sofa – think slate grey or soft beige – and add accent pillows in that teal for instant impact.
Speaking of sofas, we broke down the differences between a regular couch and a sofa bed. The "Is It Okay to Sleep on a Sofa Bed Every Night?" article explains why a sofa bed can be a decent temporary solution, but it won’t replace a proper mattress for long‑term comfort. We also covered how to pick a couch that fits around a corner without turning moving day into a nightmare. Measure the hallway width, add a couple of inches for clearance, and use a simple rectangle‑to‑L‑shape overlay (we’ve included a free template on our blog).
Practical Care & Buying Advice
Storage woes? Our guide "How to Protect Furniture from Mold in Storage" gives step‑by‑step tips: keep humidity below 55 %, use silica packets, and wrap each piece in breathable cloth. The same moisture‑related knowledge powers the article "Do Couches Get Moldy in Storage?" – we explain why a damp corner can turn a couch into a mold magnet and how to spot early signs before the smell hits.
If you’re budgeting, you’ll love the "Expensive Sofas: Are They Really Worth the Money?" piece. We compare frame materials, cushion density and warranty length, so you can decide whether a £2,500 sofa is a smart investment or just a status symbol. For those who love a good bargain, the IKEA post uncovers the truth behind those iconic bookcases – they’re Swedish‑designed but largely manufactured in China, which explains the price balance between style and cost.
Office workers, don’t ignore your chair. Our "Is It OK to Sit on a Chair All Day?" article shows that even the best ergonomic chair can’t fix a sedentary habit. Small moves – stand up every hour, adjust lumbar support, and use a footrest – make a huge difference in comfort and productivity.
All of these articles are linked in the May archive, so you can jump straight to the topic that matters most to you. Whether you’re redecorating, buying new furniture, or just trying to keep your current pieces in top shape, this month’s collection has practical advice you can apply today.
