May 2025 Furniture Tips & Trends Archive

May was a busy month at Bamboo Tiger. We answered questions about senior recliners, broke down the best sofa colors for Gen Z, showed you how to avoid mould in storage, and gave practical advice on TV and coffee‑table placement. Whether you’re redecorating a living room or looking after a beloved piece, you’ll find a quick tip you can use right now.

Top Picks for Living Room Comfort

Comfort starts with the right chair. Our guide on senior recliners explains why lift‑assist mechanisms matter and which features reduce back pain. If you’re buying a new sofa, the corner‑sofa colour trends article highlights why Gen Z loves deep greens and bold navy, while our beige‑sofa 2024 check‑in shows how neutral tones stay versatile.

Watching TV should feel effortless. We compared TV‑stand size to screen size, pointing out that a stand a little smaller than the TV can be safe if you use proper brackets. For optimal viewing distance, we gave a simple rule‑of‑thumb: divide the screen’s diagonal by two and add a few inches. That works for everything from a 55‑inch set to a massive home‑theater screen.

Never underestimate coffee‑table height. A table that matches the seat height by 1–2 inches keeps legs relaxed and makes reaching for a mug painless. Our quick‑read on ideal coffee‑table height walks you through measuring your sofa and picking the perfect size.

Smart Storage and Maintenance Hacks

Mould is a real threat in damp containers. We broke down the science of humidity, showed you which materials (like bamboo) resist moisture, and gave three steps to keep your furniture dry: ventilate, use silica packs, and wrap in breathable cloth.

If you need to stash a couch for months, seal it properly. Start by cleaning the fabric, then wrap it in a mattress‑protective cover followed by a heavy‑duty tarp. Tape the seams and store the bundle upright to avoid pressure marks.

Old wardrobes have interesting histories, but modern fitted wardrobes can be pricey and inflexible. Our article on fitted‑wardrobe downsides warns you about future remodel costs and limited redesign options, helping you decide if a freestanding piece might be smarter.

Finally, we answered a quirky question: does vinegar really kill wood mould? The answer is yes for light growth, but deep‑set mould needs professional treatment. Mix equal parts vinegar and water, scrub gently, and let dry completely.
