What We Shared in August 2025

Hey there! If you’ve been scrolling through our blog, you probably noticed a handful of fresh posts this month. We covered three topics that many homeowners ask about: whether corner sofas still feel modern, how to recognize those tiny furniture mites, and the best ways to keep your lawn happy when you have patio furniture. Let’s break down the key takeaways so you can put them to use right away.

Corner Sofas – Still a Smart Choice?

First up, the corner sofa debate. Some say it’s a throw‑back piece, but we found it can actually anchor a living‑room layout when you play it right. The trick is to choose a design with clean lines and neutral upholstery, then add a pop of colour with cushions or a rug. We also suggest pairing the sofa with a low coffee table to keep the space feeling open. If your room feels cramped, try pulling the sofa a few inches away from the wall – it creates a breathing zone and makes the whole area look larger.

Spotting Furniture Mites – What They Look Like

Next, those pesky furniture mites. They’re tiny, almost invisible to the naked eye, but you can spot the damage they leave behind – fine specks of dust, tiny webs, or a slight itch after you sit on a couch. The best defense is regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter and wiping down surfaces with a mild detergent. We also recommend rotating cushions every few weeks; it disrupts mite habitats and keeps your furniture fresh.

Finally, we tackled outdoor concerns: protecting grass under patio furniture. Heavy chairs and tables can compact soil, leading to brown patches. A simple solution is to use outdoor rugs or interlocking plastic tiles. They distribute weight evenly and let grass breathe. If you prefer a natural look, spread a layer of wood chips or pebbles around the legs – it adds drainage and looks tidy.
