For many living in New Zealand, small homes are a way of life, and so is small living room storage. The right space-saving furniture can change your lounge from cluttered and cramped to functional and stylish. In this resource, we’ll look at some of the best compact furniture NZ has to offer, helping you use every little nook and cranny while staying comfortable.
Space-Saving Coffee Tables
Coffee tables with hidden storage or lift-up tops can work as both a workspace and a place to tuck away remotes, books, or throws. In small Kiwi homes, furniture often needs to do double duty.

Clever Sofas with Storage
Under-seat storage compartments—whether in modular sofas or sofa beds—add hidden capacity and make guest stays easier, without introducing bulky furniture.

Vertical Storage Solutions
Where floor space is scarce, go up. Floating cabinets, slim bookcases, and wall-mounted shelves transform “dead” wall area into hardworking storage. Perfect for apartments in Auckland or Wellington, where every square metre counts.
