We’re excited to announce...
The launch of our new Design Services Division! (Led by our Design Manager Dorothy Li) 🥳
We’ve noticed a growing need for a more bespoke experience when it comes to the design process. For some clients, getting this right before anything else is crucial – we get it!
Learn more about our Design Studio and Service Packages here:

They’ve been online, flicked through magazines, pinned a bunch of Pinterest posts, and even put together their own concepts or drawings. But they needed expertise to bring it all together cohesively—ensuring it’s practical, every option is considered, and the design truly reflects their vision.
Your Personality. Our Design Expertise.
Imagine having a home that truly reflects your style, without the headaches of project complexities. Our expert design team will work with you every step of the way to create a space you’ll love.
Here’s why this might be valuable to you and your renovation process:
👉 You’re ready to update your home, but the design process feels overwhelming and time-consuming. It's important to you to have guidance through this process.
👉 You’ve spent hours searching for inspiration, but nothing seems to fit. Or perhaps you've tried to put designs together yourself, but they didn’t quite work out.
👉 Our design team will work with you step by step, from selecting fittings, finalizing colors, and exploring layout options, to showroom visits. At the end, you'll receive a full design package with a detailed breakdown—quote-ready (with confidence, without second guessing)!
How is this different from our usual concept plan?
The free concept plan you receive is a rough sketch based on one site visit (alterations are charged afterward). It follows our standard process, where clients still need to choose their fittings, tiles,
finishes, etc. But if you’re looking for a more bespoke design and a comprehensive approach to creating your space together, this service is for you.
Our Promise Is Simple.
We put you at the heart of everything we do. Our team combines creativity, expertise, and a passion for making homes truly special.
We’re not just about following trends; we’re about creating spaces that work for you and your family. With our extensive experience, unique project management system, and a network of trusted industry leaders, we ensure that every renovation is a success.
We’ve renovated hundreds of homes in Auckland, but we treat every project like it’s the first—because for you, it is.

Have you ever wondered why cuddling up next to your partner feels so dam good?

The Science … View moreHave you ever wondered why cuddling up next to your partner feels so dam good?
Well, besides the obvious warmth and affection, there's actual science behind it!
Buckle up as we explore how snoozing with your significant other can improve sleep quality and much more.
The Science Behind Sweet Dreams
Ever heard of REM sleep?
It's that magical phase of slumber where dreams take centre stage.
Research suggests that when couples sleep side by side, they tend to spend more time in REM sleep and experience fewer disruptions throughout the night.
That means deeper, more rejuvenating rest for both of you. Who knew sharing a bed could be so beneficial?
But wait, there's more!
Studies have also shown that co-sleeping can lead to increased levels of oxytocin, aka the "love hormone."
This natural chemical not only promotes feelings of bonding and trust but also helps regulate stress levels, making it easier to drift off into dreamland.
The Power of Pillow Talk
It's not just about the Zzz's—sharing a bed can also work wonders for your relationship.
Feeling emotionally secure and connected to your partner can help reduce stress levels, paving the way for a peaceful night's sleep.
Plus, there's nothing quite like waking up next to the one you love, ready to tackle the day together. It's like having your own personal cheerleader 24/7!
But here's the kicker: Studies have shown that couples who share a bed report higher levels of relationship satisfaction and intimacy.
That's right, folks—snuggling up together isn't just good for your sleep, it's also good for your love life!
Syncing Up for Sweet Slumber
Ever notice how you and your partner seem to fall into the same sleep rhythm?
That's called sleep synchronisation, folks, and it's a real game-changer.
When your sleep cycles align, it can lead to smoother transitions between sleep stages and fewer disturbances throughout the night.
In fact, couples who sleep together often experience a deep sense of emotional connection and understanding.
It's like your bodies and minds are perfectly in tune, creating a harmonious atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Talk about a match made in sleep heaven!
Practical Tips for Pillow Partners
Now that we've discussed the perks of co-sleeping, let's discuss some tips for making the most of it.
Here are a few tips to help you and your partner make the most of your shared sleep space:
Invest in a quality mattress. A comfy mattress is key to a good night's sleep. Check out Beds4U's collection of mattresses for the ultimate in comfort and support.
Customise your comfort. Whether you prefer a firm mattress or a plush pillow top, Beds4U has options to suit every sleep style.

Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Police believe this scamming method could find its way to New Zealand and we are urging people to be vigilant.
The gift will have the recipients address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift.
The QR code allows the offenders to then access any and all data on your phone or device you used to scan the code, including financial information such as your bank account login details, and personal data.
Police are urging anyone who receives one of these gifts not to scan the QR code, the gift can either be kept or discarded, but do not scan the QR code.
Please report information to Police online at www.police.govt.nz... or call Police on 105.
