If there’s one thing we all love doing at the end of the year, it’s a good ol’ retrospective. And here at Murphy Home, we’re no different. Just, instead of your most-played songs, we’re focusing on your most-loved furniture pieces. Because we make furniture, not music. Obviously.<\/p>\n
From comfort-first sofas to timeless dining tables, this years favourites all shared something in common; great design. So much so, it was definitely tough to narrow down our clear winners! But nevertheless, we have, and so here they are;<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This one comes as no surprise \u2014 seeing as it was also the top favourite in 2024! This sofa is a modern ode to mid-century design. And, honestly, if 2025 had a comfort category, the Fontella topped the charts in that one too. The tall, tapered legs of this sofa and distinctive slanted armrests are a nod to a retro aesthetic, while the clever head tilt and reclining mechanism allow for easy relaxation. Of course, with handy USB charging ports that mean a dead phone is never on your horizon, it’s no wonder this sofa is everyone’s favourite this year.<\/p>\n
Available in beautiful blue leather or a gorgeous grey fabric, this sofa is an easy winner.<\/p>\n
Another repeat from last year, and it’s easy to see why; the Ellis dining collection is a firm favourite for many reasons. Expertly crafted from strong and durable acacia wood, it’s a perfect choice for families and busy households. The retro-inspired wire brush finish makes for a clean, modern design that’s always on trend, but timeless enough to remain the focal point of your dining room for years to come.<\/p>\n
Available as a 1.8m static table, or extendable up to 2.6m, it’s an easy choice. Pair the matching bench or chairs, and you have a fantastic centrepiece! And if you’re a fan of a cohesive look, the sideboard rounds it all off perfectly.<\/p>\n
A new winner in the bedroom category, but not for no reason! The Shelly Bed Frame combines style and storage without sacrificing either! These beds are upholstered in a rich velvet fabric, so they just exude comfort. The padded headboard makes for a comfy reading spot, and the winged headboard adds a touch of drama to it all (and I think they look like cute little cat ears, so it’s another pro in my book). Beyond its striking look, this bed has a convenient lift-up mechanism hiding a huge storage space under the mattress. This is a great spot for storing bedding, linens, and even clothes you don’t wear, but can’t throw out.<\/p>\n
This bed frame is available in a range of colours, so there really is something for every bedroom vibe. I’m partial to the gold, but the green and taupe are stunning too!<\/p>\n
If there was ever a furniture collection designed with classic lines and tradition in mind, it was the Kingston. Ths vast living range is crafted from solid oak, with a warm natural finish that enhances the warm tones and distinctive grains of the wood. This, simply put, is furniture done right. It’s no wonder it was so popular! This range offers storage without being bulky and taking up too much space \u2014 and if you’re furnishing a home for the first time, or refreshing for the first time in years, makes for the perfect choice.<\/p>\n
From coffee tables to TV stands, or bookcases to console tables; this range really has it all, so don’t hesitate to check it out and see what the hype is all about!<\/p>\n
If 2025 had a ‘most replayed’ category for sleep, the Respa Ardmore would win, and easily too. This mattress is forever a popular choice among our customers, and it’s no surprise! Combining sophisticated design with advanced technology, this mattress is designed to provide an unparalleled sleep experience. The innovative pocket spring system distributes weight evenly across the mattress, for a structure that ensures both comfort and support. The reduced motion transfer and Sleepfresh technology that helps to keep you cool all make for an undisturbed night’s sleep. What more could you want?<\/p>\n
Looking back, this years favourites all showcased an obvious trend; our customers have really great taste. If you added any of these to your space this year, don’t hesitate to let us know \u2014 we’d love to see a picture of them in their new homes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If there\u2019s one thing we all love doing at the end of the year, it\u2019s a good ol\u2019 retrospective.
