Welcome to the August roundup from Sofa Design Hub. In just one month we covered everything from how to keep your coffee table looking fresh to which couch colors are ruling the living room. Grab a coffee, skim the highlights, and walk away with quick tips you can try today.
First up, coffee tables. We broke down the best materials and pads to place under the table legs so you avoid scratches and add a touch of style. A thin felt pad or a rubber coaster can protect hardwood floors while giving the table a sleek look. If you’re wondering whether a rug belongs beneath the table, the answer is yes—just pick a size that leaves a few inches of floor visible on all sides. That balance keeps the room feeling open and prevents tripping hazards.
Color matters too. Our "Most Popular Couch Colors" post reveals that muted greens, warm grays, and deep navy are the go‑to shades for 2025. Pairing these hues with textured throws or contrasting cushions creates depth without overwhelming the space. And if you’re worried about spills or pet hair, a simple couch cover does wonders. A well‑fitted slipcovers not only protects the fabric but also lets you switch styles on a budget.
When it comes to sofa longevity, sag‑free designs are a game changer. Look for a solid hardwood frame, eight‑way hand‑tied springs, and high‑density foam cushions. Those features keep the seat firm for years, saving you from a saggy sofa that looks cheap.
Small apartments love daybed couches. They double as a seat by day and a sleeping spot by night, making them perfect for guest rooms or studio spaces. Choose a low‑profile design with a sturdy mattress layer for comfort without sacrificing style.
We also examined Ethan Allen’s claim to luxury. While the brand offers solid craftsmanship, the price point sits between premium and high‑end, making it a solid value rather than an ultra‑luxury label.
Finally, storing furniture doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Keep sofas and tables out of damp basements, wrap them in breathable covers, and use pallet blocks to elevate pieces off the floor. These steps prevent warping, mold, and unwanted scratches while your items sit in storage.
