January 2025 Furniture Tips Archive

Welcome to the January 2025 roundup from Bamboo Tiger. This month we packed the blog with advice that helps you store, choose, and style furniture without the headache.

Smart Storage and Protection

If you’ve ever left a sofa in a garage, you know temperature swings and humidity can ruin it. Our guide on storing furniture in non‑climate‑controlled spaces shows you how to pick the right covers, ventilate properly, and position items to avoid warping. We also covered shrink‑wrapping – it can keep dust out, but it isn’t a cure‑all, especially if you trap moisture.

Preventing mold got its own spotlight. A quick read on preventing mold on stored furniture explains why desiccants and airflow matter more than pricey chemicals. Pair that with our tips for protecting outdoor cushions from rain, and you’ve got a full toolkit for keeping both indoor and garden pieces in top shape.

Living‑Room Essentials: Sofas, Coffee Tables & TV Set‑ups

Choosing a sofa isn’t just about style. Our deep dive into the true cost of a high‑quality sofa in 2025 breaks down price drivers—from frame material to upholstery durability—so you know when a premium tag is worth it.

Once you have the sofa, where does the coffee table go? We mapped out the perfect coffee table placement for comfort and flow, plus a separate piece on matching a coffee table with a reclining sofa. Both articles give clear distance measurements and shape recommendations.

TV lovers got a double treat. One post explains how to measure the leg distance for a 65‑inch screen and pick the right stand, while another warns against common mounting mistakes like placing the screen over a fireplace. Follow the advice and you’ll avoid glare, neck strain, and tangled cables.

Grey sofas are still a bestseller, and we explored why they’re timeless, how to pair them with colors, and what shades work best for a corner sofa. If you love a pop of color, check out our guide on the best colors for corner sofas and the best colors to pair with a gray couch for a fresh look.

Bookshelves and bookcases also made the list. A quick read on top competitors of HomeGoods for bookcases helps you compare style and price, while another article breaks down affordable bookshelf pricing so you can budget wisely.

Office ergonomics didn’t get left out. We explained why investing in a high‑quality office chair boosts productivity, and gave a step‑by‑step guide on choosing the perfect office chair for lumbar support and comfort.

For the budget‑savvy, our smart strategies for buying furniture without breaking the bank cover financing options, seasonal sales, and how to slice costs without sacrificing quality.

Lastly, we took a quick look at niche topics like Japanese futons, the cozy kakebuton for sofa beds, and why sofa beds often carry a higher price tag. Each piece is short, practical, and ready to apply.
