September 2025 Furniture Guides: What You Need to Know

We posted four fresh pieces in September that tackle everyday decisions around seating, entertainment setups, and long‑term care. Whether you’re re‑thinking your living‑room layout, hunting for a comfy recliner that won’t break the bank, or wondering if a wall‑mounted TV is worth the hassle, we’ve got straight‑forward answers.

Two Sofas vs. One Corner Sofa – Which Fits Your Space?

First up, we broke down the classic debate: two separate sofas or a single corner piece? We looked at room size, traffic flow, and how each option affects seating capacity. Two sofas give flexibility – you can push one against a wall or pull both into the middle for a chat zone. A corner sofa, on the other hand, maximizes floor space and creates a cozy nook, perfect for movie nights. We also added price ranges (typical UK cost: £800‑£2,000) and styling ideas, like pairing a corner sofa with a slim side chair for extra flair.

Recliner Buying Guide – How Much Should You Spend?

Next, we tackled recliner pricing for 2025. A good recliner now lands between £400 and £1,200, depending on features. Manual recliners sit at the low end, while power‑adjustable or lift‑assist models push the price up. We highlighted three must‑have specs: smooth reclining mechanism, sturdy frame, and breathable upholstery. Avoid cheap dead‑bolt joints and look for a warranty of at least five years. The guide also compares popular brands, so you can spot value without sacrificing comfort.

Our third post warned about the hidden downsides of wall‑mounting a TV. The clean look might be tempting, but we uncovered risks like cable strain, limited adjustability, and potential wall damage. We broke down the real cost: a decent mount starts around £50, but professional installation and reinforcement can add £150‑£300. Instead, we suggested alternatives such as low‑profile stands, swivel media consoles, or modular TV furniture that keeps wires tidy while staying flexible.

Finally, we answered the big question on La‑Z‑Boy durability. The average lifespan for a well‑maintained Lazy Boy recliner sits at 10‑15 years, with some owners reporting 20‑year runs when they follow simple care steps. Keep the mechanisms lubricated, tighten screws annually, and protect the fabric with a breathable cover. Most models come with a three‑year limited warranty, but we recommend checking for extended plans if you plan to keep the piece long term.

All four articles share a common thread: practical advice you can act on right away. Use the sofa comparison to map out your room, pick a recliner that matches your budget and needs, reconsider a wall‑mount if you value flexibility, and give your Lazy Boy a few minutes of TLC each year to stretch its life.
