Office Desks That Steal the Show (and Where to Find Them)

A well-designed desk can change how you work If you’re feeling bogged down with work or study in your usual workspace setup, it might just be the environment itself that's getting you down. As the saying goes, “a change is as good as a holiday”, and maybe upgrading your desk is just the thing to help you get back in the swing of things with renewed focus and motivation. Getting yourself organised with a new office desk in NZ could improve clarity, minimise those habitual distractions and help you get stuff done like a boss. At Urban Sales, we have some of the coolest home office desks NZ has to offer. Let us tell you a bit about them. Sit-stand desks that do more than move Who says you need to sit at your desk? Only sit? If you’re nimble on your feet and like the idea of standing tall even as you work, a sit-stand desk may be the way to go. Because we all like options, and a better posture doesn’t hurt either. With our sit-stand office desks NZ customers love, height adjustment is simple. Just operate with easy-to-use controls and minimal cables. Check out our electric height-adjustable desks like Linspire Ascend and Linspire Lumen for a nifty, minimalist look. Up, down, any which way. Your desk should (literally) rise to meet you, and not the other way around. Linspire Lumen Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Riser Stand Linspire Ascend Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk 1.2m, White Compact desks that keep things tidy and calm Even if you’re living in squeezy quarters, there’s no reason not to have a desk. No matter if you’re renting a studio, living in tight student quarters or working in shared spaces, there’s no need to hijack the dining table. Laptops, cables, chargers, pens, papers and staplers don’t clear up that easily off your dining table when you need space for a pizza. A desk marks your personal workspace, a place where you get things done. Choosing a compact desk keeps your things clutter-free and your mind calm, giving you more mental space. Besides, those little desks pack a big punch. They have all those handy features like slim drawers for your pens and pencils, hidden storage to tuck away extra cords and papers, and pegboard panels if you want to use up some vertical space and hang up inspo quotes, pooch photos, scissors and tax receipts. It’s a way of clearing up your desk surface while still having those things on hand. And speaking of inspo, take a look at our Bailey Desk with its clean, Scandinavian vibe and discreet, slimline drawers, handy for keeping things close by, but out of sight. If you’re short on room but want to use vertical space, check out the Linspire Ascend Desk with Shelves, which has it all. Shelves for storage and a pegboard for attaching hooks, cups and you-name-it. “But I truly have no space for a desk”, you may say. One look at our MODE Larkin Minimalist Folding Desk and you may think otherwise. If you’re wondering, “Where can I buy an office desk?”, you’ve just found the answer. Linspire Ascend Desk with Shelves, Natural & White Loft Ensio Desk, 1.4m, White Solidwood Bailey Desk with 2 Drawers, Natural Desks with built-in storage that still look sophisticated No matter how big an office desk is, a clever design will do a lot for you. Big or small, the right desk keeps you comfy, organised and far from losing your keys in a paper pile. Take our Linspire Lumen Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Riser Stand, for example. It’s your absolute bestie for keeping your posture in check while you pretend to be super productive. No more hunching over like a cave troll, because this baby brings your screen to eye level and maximises desk space for all those coffee cups that mysteriously multiply during work or study hours. Then there's the Linspire Slate Dual Study Desk. This one’s a game-changer. It's like a desk that plays nice with others. It’s great for families or couples who want to work side-by-side (or engage in a friendly competition of ‘who can avoid work the longest’). And let’s not forget the Linspire Noble Desk with Shelves. This beauty has a place for your screen right in front of you, with shelves that look like they’re ready to hold your favourite books, or a collection of impulse buys from online shopping. Plus, there’s an additional cupboard that’s just begging to house all the snacks you're secretly stashing away. Oh, and one more thing. If you’ve got a smidge of space next to your desk (or even a little nook under it), why not think about adding a workspace drawer unit or two? Some of these are taller to match the surface height of a sitting desk. And then there are those nifty little ones on castor wheels that you can slide right under. You can easily wheel them out when you need to stretch your legs, then pop them back underneath to reclaim that precious space, just like a desk Tetris. It’s about getting clever about saving space. Just something to think about. Loft Ensio Desk, 1.4m, White & Light Wood Linspire Noble Desk with Shelves, Natural & White Linspire Slate Dual Study Desk, Grey & White & Yellow Linspire Amie Desk Finish your space with a desk that reflects you So, you’ve figured out your practical needs. Nice job. Now comes the fun part: picking a desk that speaks to your vibe. You want something that showcases your unique style, maybe a warm Nordic look, sleek’n’minimal, or going all out with contemporary flair. After all, it’s not just about sitting, it’s about feeling inspired while you (pretend to) work for hours. Our desks are made from engineered timber with those lovely white-on-wood finishes and calming tones. They’re practically calling out to help you create a serene workspace. And don’t stop there. If you’re wondering how to make your office desk look nice, consider pairing your desk with some handy shelving units, bookshelves, a nice-looking office chair, and lighting to complete that dream workspace you've always wished for. No matter if you're shopping for an office desk in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or hiding under a rock anywhere else in New Zealand, Urban Sales has got your back. We’ll deliver it right to your door. And if you stare at it and think, “nope, this isn’t my vibe”, you have seven days to return it (unopened and unassembled, of course). Just make sure it’s in resaleable condition, so it can find another home. Solidwood Norway Bookcase, 85x32CM, Oak Hjem Design August Shelving Unit, 94x27x114cm Linspire Haze Office Chair, Grey FAQs What is the difference between a sit-stand desk and a regular desk? Instead of being stuck at the same height like a regular desk that has a set height, a variable-height sit-stand desk gives you the option of shimmying up when you’d like to work while standing tall and moving on down when you’re in the mood to work sitting down. Wondering, “How high should an office desk be?” Well, that really depends on you. Are you Team Sit or Team Stand? If you’re like most of us, you probably juggle between the two. It’s the classic office tango. The beauty of adjustable desks is that you can customise the height to fit your body like a glove. It's like having a desk that says, ‘I get you!’ Just remember, either when sitting or standing, don’t forget about that posture. We want you looking sharp, not twisting yourself like a pretzel to ‘fit’ yourself to your desk So adjust away and find your perfect groove. Are these desks good for small spaces? Absolutely. We’re all about turning tiny corners into productivity powerhouses, and our desks are no exception. Just make sure to whip out that measuring tape before diving in, unless you enjoy playing a game of ‘Will it fit?’ Choose one of our compact desks for that perfect snug fit. Plus, some of our desks come with drawers, shelves, and sneaky storage options, so you can stash away your clutter and make the most of your little workspace. This just proves you can be small and mighty. Can I use one of these desks as a makeup table? Fantastic idea. You can turn one of our study or work desks into your very own glam station. It's the perfect backdrop for your morning beauty ritual. Just plop down a freestanding mirror (make sure the light hits your face just right), and stash your makeup, hairbrushes, and any other grooming must-haves in those handy storage drawers. And if you're really feeling the need for a dedicated makeup palace, also check out our dressing tables. They might just become your new best friend for getting ready. Do you offer NZ-wide shipping and returns? We’ll deliver the goodies right to your doorstep, no matter if you’re nestled in the heart of Auckland or chilling in the corners of the countryside. And if you decide the item isn’t the star of your show after all, no worries. Just send it back our way, unused, unassembled, and still in its original packaging, within 7 days of it crashing your party. No hard feelings, just a chance for a fresh start. Can I claim the desks for a home office set up during tax time? Who would have thought that tackling your to-do list could also line your pockets a bit? If your new desk is your income-generating sidekick, you might just be in luck when tax season rolls around. That trusty desk of yours can actually score you some sweet depreciation deductions. And let’s not forget about a new office chair. Maybe an upgrade is in order here as well. After all, a new chair could sway things your way come tax time, too.

Sofa Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right One for Your Space

A sofa is like a good friend. The one that always returns your calls. It’s a haven. A place to feel cosy, safe, and nurtured. A place to tell stories, deliver big news, unwind, reset, cuddle the ones you love, and a place to snooze on a Sunday afternoon. When it comes to how to pick the right sofa, it’s about really tuning in to how you want it to feel, how you’re going to use it and what’s going to suit your space. So, pull up a cushion and get comfy, our sofa buying guide will take you through the A’s to the Z’s of buying your ultimate sofa. How to Choose a Sofa That Fits Your Life? Know Your Non-Negotiables From cosy chats to cocktail-clinking dinner party banter and family movie nights, how to choose a sofa is about working out how you want to use it. In order to zero in on the best sofa for your lifestyle, you first need to decipher the way it fits into your space, your comfort preferences and functional needs. Here are some key questions to ask yourself: Who’s using it daily? Is it just you? Do you have flatmates? Furry friends? Kids? The answers to these will not only help you determine the size of sofa you need to buy, but will also help you decide on the best fabric types for your sofa and durability needs. How will you use it? Think about how you will use your sofa. Do you mostly lounge or watch TV? Do you nap on your sofa? Are there occasional house guests who need somewhere to snooze? Are you hosting? Or all of the above? The answers to these questions will help you decide on your size and configuration needs, and whether or not you need special features, such as reclining functionality or a sofa bed style. How is the space arranged? Consider the size of your space. Is the sofa meant for open-plan living or a closed-off lounge room? Larger spaces can handle big, sprawling sectional or modular set-ups with room to stretch out. Smaller spaces, on the other hand, tend to shine more with clever chaise styles or two-seaters with slim arms and raised legs. Best Sofas for Small Spaces & Apartments Not all of us live in a sprawling home with room for a sectional 12 seater and a grand piano. Some of us (hi!) are working with compact apartments where every centimetre is valuable real estate. In these spatially challenged homes, choosing the best sofa for small spaces can make all the difference. 2-seaters, Loveseats, and Chaise sofas 2-seaters, loveseats, and chaise sofas are ideal for tight spots. These small space superstars offer the ideal middle ground, big enough to stretch out and read a good book and small enough not to dominate the room. Chaise sofas are like a power move for the space-conscious lounger. They are particularly good at making good use of space, with their lovely L-shape, they can hug the wall while giving you the option to put your feet up. Space-saving design features Little tweaks in sofa design can make a big impact on the look and feel of a smaller room. Slim arms - Slimline arms not only look sleek and modern but can save valuable space in your living room, allowing room for bigger sitting space. Raised legs - A sofa that’s slightly raised off the floor keeps the room feeling airy and open. Sofa beds - Multifunctional design at its best, sofa beds provide dual-purpose magic. A good-looking sofa, and also a comfortable bed fit for your overnight guests. Placement Once you’ve selected the best sofa for small spaces, the right placement is key. If possible, float your sofa slightly off the wall to help the room breathe. Consider placing a lightweight coffee table or side table in front of your sofa to complete the space. If things are really tight, consider nested tables or stools that can double as extra seating. MODE Cielo 3.5-Seater Sofa with Chaise, Oatmeal MODE Cielo 4.5-Seater Sofa with Chaise, Blue Grey Modular, Recliner, or Sofa Bed? Find What’s Best for You When it comes to choosing the best sofa for your lifestyle, you can have the cosiness, the striking design and the stretch-out-and-snooze potential without overcrowding your living room. Think clever designs, flexible layouts and features that work hard while still looking good. Modular Sofas Modular sofas are your ticket to living room freedom, made to be pulled apart, flipped, shifted and reconfigured on a whim. Want a corner set up today and an open-ended chaise tomorrow? That’s the magic of modular. These sofas are ideal for small or large spaces because they allow you to work with your layout and change it up anytime to keep your space fresh. Recliner Sofas Perfect for movie marathons, power naps, or just kicking back after a long day, recliner sofas give you full-body bliss with the touch of a button. And for those of you thinking of recliners as giant overstuffed sofa-thrones taking over your floor plan, think again. Today’s recliner sofas are sleek, modern and wonderfully unassuming. Sofa Beds For apartment dwellers and spare-room-less hosts, a sofa bed is nothing short of a miracle. By day, it’s a chic little perch for coffee sipping and contemplating life, by night, a comfy bed for overnight guests. If you’re looking for the best sofa bed for NZ, here’s what to keep in mind: Go for one that’s easy to unfold and put away. Look for designs that blend with your style. Concealed storage is a bonus. Linspire Don 2-Seater Sofa Bed, Off White Hjem Design Maine Sofa Bed with Armrest Linspire Don 2-Seater Sofa Bed, Grey What’s the Best Fabric or Material for a Sofa? Choosing the best fabric for a sofa is all about your lifestyle, tastes and tolerance for cleaning. Take into account your usage habits. Do you have children or pets? Do you have the ability to handle spills without bursting into tears? (If so, we’re jealous.) Leather The ultimate in luxury, leather sofas are sleek, durable and excellent at handling the chaos of family life. You can wipe spills clean, and the best leather sofas tend to age beautifully. The downside? It can feel a bit cool in the winter months and isn’t quite as cosy as a fabric sofa can be for snuggling up on. Fabric Fabric sofas are typically warm, inviting and tactile and span a wide variety of finishes and blends. Fabric sofas can be more high-maintenance than leather, depending on the material, and some fabrics cling to pet hair. The best couch fabric for families or pets is tightly woven fabrics like performance blends or microfibres that are stain resistant, easy to clean and don’t give fur a lot to cling to. Avoid anything too textured, like chunky weaves or velvet finishes. Colours Lighter shades such as creams, greys and soft pastels can make your space feel more open and breezy and are great for smaller spaces, but they can be more high-maintenance unless you opt for a stain-resistant fabric. Darker colours like charcoal, navy and dark green can be moodier, cosier and a little more forgiving of spills. If you’re making a style statement, go for a bold hue like mustard or teal so your sofa can be the star of the room. MODE Marco 3-Seater Sofa Hjem Design Tampa 3-seater Sofa Solidwood Seattle 3-Seater Sofa,201x80CM, Beige/Oak Linspire Moss 3-Seater Sofa Sizing Guide: Will Your Sofa Fit Within Your Space? You’ve chosen your sofa, amazing! Our sofa size guide can help you confirm if your new sofa will work in your space. Measure everything Grab your tape measure and jot down the dimensions of the room, length, width and height. Don’t forget to measure doorways, stairwells, hallways, elevators and any area your sofa will need to pass through on its way to your living room. Visualise it Use masking tape or painters’ tape to outline the sofa’s dimensions on the floor; this helps you see exactly how much space it will use and how much you have left to play with. AR (Augmented Reality) tools can also help by letting you ‘drop’ an image of the sofa into your living room picture using your phone camera. Allow space Even the comfiest of sofas need room to shine. Allow enough room for walkways so people can move comfortably around the space without having to turn themselves sideways. Coffee tables should ideally sit about 45-50 cm from the front of the sofa, and ottomans need enough clearance so you can comfortably stretch your legs out. Build a Living Room You’ll Love Coming Home To Build the ultimate living room space by pairing your sofa with ottomans, bean bags and side tables, the secret sauce for both cosiness and practicality. Finish it off with textured throws, cushions, feature lamps and meaningful art to create a personalised and cohesive look. Add a rocking chair in the corner as a gorgeous reading nook finishing touch, and you’re happy to be home. Your Perfect Sofa Is Waiting: Let’s Help You Find It When you arrive home to your perfect sofa, the world can wait. You can unmask, unwind and exhale the day away. No matter if you’re after a reclining couch to kick back on, the best sofa bed for surprise guests or a cosy settee for Sunday naps and cuppas, Urban Sales has got the perfect setup to transform your living room. Let’s get comfortable.

Decorating Tips & Trends

Scandinavian Bedroom Design Ideas for a Balanced and Breezy Atmosphere

The bedroom is about more than simply a place to sleep—it’s a sanctuary where we can connect with our innermost selves, escaping the stresses and demands of life. Getting deep, restorative rest helps us present our best selves, for our own sake and the benefit of others (because there’s almost nothing worse than sleep-deprived gremlins). For those trying to create a peaceful, functional retreat without feeling overwhelmed by design choices, you’re not alone. Finding the right balance between style, serenity, and practicality can be tricky. So, let’s draw inspiration from the Scandinavians, who mastered the art of creating a cozy indoor haven despite their often dark, dreary weather. This bedroom style guide offers a simple, fun, step-by-step approach to transforming your space with Scandinavian bedroom ideas that promote restful moments while beautifully reflecting your personal taste. How Scandinavian Bedroom Design Can Work For You: Function Meets Tranquillity Embrace Simplicity with Purposeful Design Life is complex enough, so the fundamental principle of Scandinavian design focuses on simplicity, where each element serves a purpose. It’s all about steering away from visual clutter that can overload our minds. Start with a fresh, blank slate and adopt the mindset of choosing only practical elements that enhance both form and function—items that are visually serene while still offering practicality. This mood board showcases the types of pieces you might want to incorporate into your Scandinavian-style bedroom design, offering inspiration for creating a calm, functional space that works for you. Scandinavian-Inspired Bedroom Mood Board Soft Japandi Aesthetic for a Modern Bedroom Natural Materials for a Calming Atmosphere The Scandinavians have mastered the art of bringing warmth to their homes during their often-gloomy climate. Their secret? Natural materials like light wood, linen and cotton. These materials are staples in Scandinavian design for good reason. They promote a sense of tranquility and create a grounded, reassuring ambience that is especially well-suited to bedrooms. So, as you put together your own Scandinavian bedroom with new furniture, bedding and décor, be sure to also incorporate natural textures to create warmth and comfort so you can bring this peaceful vibe into your own space. SAVONA Nova Duvet Cover Set SAVONA Chantel Bedspread Lots of Light, Neutral Colours for a Serene Space To complement the natural materials in a Scandinavian-style bedroom, a neutral colour palette is essential. Think soft whites, warm greys, subtle beige and brown tones, and gentle pastel greens. These calming colours can be woven through accessories like cushions, wall art, and throw blankets. Even if your bedroom doesn’t get much natural light, these light, neutral shades will work their magic to create a sense of brightness, spaciousness and peace. By embracing the calming effects of nature and bringing those muted hues into your room, you’ll create an environment that’s conducive to rest and relaxation. Linspire Whisper Bedside Table Loft Ensio Chest of 6 Drawers Enhance Function with Thoughtful Furniture Choices While serene and beautiful, Scandinavian furniture is designed to be functional and space-efficient, with a particular emphasis on multi-purpose pieces that make the most out of your space. Think of a floating dressing table with drawers that provides ample storage and pivots out to double as a desk—or bedframes that come with storage headboards that help to keep your space clutter-free. Even mattresses inspired by Scandinavian design offer adjustable firmness to suit your preferences, ensuring your comfort is always a top priority. By investing in quality furniture, you’re bringing style and practicality to your bedroom, creating a versatile space that will keep you comfortable for many years to come. Linspire Aspire Small Queen Bed Frame with Storage Headboard Linspire Fresko Wardrobes with 2 Doors + 2 Drawers Bring Scandinavian Style to Life with These Bedroom Ideas 1. Small Bedroom Design Ideas to Keep Things Organised Scandinavian style is ideally suited to small bedrooms, allowing you to make the most of the limited space you have. The furniture pieces mentioned earlier help keep visual clutter to a minimum with smart storage solutions. Their multi-purpose design gives you more versatility using fewer furniture pieces, and the light colour palette naturally creates a roomier feel in your bedroom. This is also the case for other areas in your home, including small space living rooms. Linspire Juniper Extendable Dressing Table with Cabinet Linspire Juniper Small Double Bed Frame with Shelving Unit 2. Large Bedroom with Space to Play With If you’re lucky enough to have a larger-sized bedroom, don’t feel like you have to hold back on the furniture. Leaving too much space can actually make a room feel a bit too empty. Instead, use your extra space to create additional zones where you can relax and enjoy your bedroom retreat. Depending on your room, choose furniture and décor that are proportional to your space and cohesive with the rest of the design. A great way to do this is to carve out a chill-out zone with comfy armchairs, side tables and footrests; perfect for winding down with a good book or enjoying a warm cup of chamomile tea or cocoa before bed. You can differentiate the sleeping (bed) zone from the relaxation (armchair) zone by using two separate floor rugs beneath each one. This not only defines the spaces, but adds an extra layer of warmth and texture to your Scandinavian bedroom. 3. Layering Textures for a Cosy Scandi Bedroom Take a leaf out of professional interior designers’ bag of tricks to create a luscious, super-cosy space by layering textures. By incorporating subtle contrasts in textures (such as smooth versus rustic, soft versus hard, and pattern versus plain) and colours (lighter versus darker), you create a calming, inviting atmosphere. This includes using soft rugs that are lovely to walk on barefoot when you get out of bed (even if your bedroom is already carpeted). Natural, breathable linen bed covers in soft pastel colours are as beautiful to look at as they are lovely to the touch and will contribute to your peaceful night’s sleep. Knitted throws will add yet more warmth, comfort and visual appeal to top off your welcoming, Scandinavian-inspired bedroom. DreamWeaver Oasis Machine Washable Rug, Arches Cream, 160x230cm DreamWeaver Essence Machine Washable Rug, Beige, 150x220cm Styling is Key to Bringing Your Scandinavian Bedroom Together Now for the fun finishing touches! Focus on Simple, Yet Personal Décor While Scandinavian design embraces simplicity, it also promotes personal touches in your space. So go ahead and include family photos, favourite artworks and décor items that are meaningful to you. But as with anything, moderation is key, so incorporate items that bring you joy without overcrowding your space. If there are simply too many cherished items to choose from (we get it), you could store some of them in a storage cupboard and rotate the items displayed on a monthly—or seasonal—basis. This is an excellent way to keep your space feeling fresh, too! Try Not to Undermine How Lighting Can Make a Room Feel When it comes to creating a dreamy, relaxing ambience in your bedroom, gentle lighting is a must. Use soft ambient lighting as a lead-in to your nighttime routine, signalling to your busy mind that it’s time to slow down and relax. Create a warm, inviting bedroom atmosphere with Scandinavian-style lamps and pendant lights. As the evening wears on, gradually switch the lamps off one by one so it’s increasingly darker. It’s a great way to create a prelude to a deep, relaxing night’s sleep. Add Plants to Connect with Nature The finishing touch for creating a stunning, Scandinavian-style, nature-inspired bedroom is to bring real nature indoors. Incorporating plants into your bedroom enriches its serene, natural atmosphere. And as a bonus, plants also improve the quality of the air you breathe throughout the night!

How to Set Up the Perfect Home Office, Consider Your Productivity: Inspired!

Let’s get real: home is now the setting for most offices. We all know working from home means juggling Zoom calls while trying to look somewhat presentable and hoping your colleagues don’t realise you’re wearing pyjama bottoms. But no matter if you're hunkered down in a spare bedroom, nestled in a hallway nook, crammed in a closet or elbow-to-elbow with your significant other in the living room, your workspace should still feel like a million dollars. At Urban Sales, we’re not just about redesigning workspaces; we’re veritable magicians at helping you turn your space into an oasis of productivity. So, grab your organic latte (or matcha) and dive into our home office furniture guide. We're about to transform your makeshift home office setup into a place that boosts your productivity and gives off some seriously feel-good vibes. Your Workspace Design Can Enhance Productivity It’s not just your genius qualities that make you good at what you do. Your physical environment affects your mental clarity and work quality. But when you’re trying to get things done among piles of laundry while your neighbours decide to jackhammer their driveway and your cute new puppy decides to do zoomies among your tangle of power cords, the calmness of home life doesn’t sound so great. We can’t help you with the jackhammering or puppy crazies, nor get your laundry done for you, but we can share tips to set up a serenity zone where you have a fighting chance to regain your calm and get on top of things. Planning Your Office Setup: Think Space, Light, Layout and Of Course, Design Before diving headfirst into your home office design, let’s chat about location. Where’s the best, quietest spot for your command centre? The living room? A corner of the bedroom? Or maybe even that unused stairway nook? Whatever you choose, don’t let your cat take it over. When you’re mapping out your setup, pick a spot that basks in natural light. Positioning your desk with your back to a window isn’t ideal. You don’t need your screen glaring back into your eyes, amplifying the sun's rays behind you. And if you find yourself in lots of video calls, try to make your background less of a reality show and more like a magazine spread. Your coworkers don’t need to see your pile of laundry or your unmade bed peeking out in the background. Let's keep it, you know, professional. Compact Yet Functional or Statement Pieces? You can level up your home office setup by selecting well-made pieces that are also functional. That way, you don’t have to hunt down your ruler in a cluttered mess. It's all about snagging those chic yet functional pieces that can also do double duty. Think of your workspace as a puzzle: everything should fit together snugly. When it comes to home office desks, think compact, L-shaped, or height-adjustable, making your workspace as flexible as your schedule. For home office chairs, go for ergonomic designs that won’t leave you feeling stiff as a board at the end of the day. You can remain friends with both comfort and style, choosing flexible, ergonomic designs that also dazzle as centrepieces in your home. Loft Ensio Desk, 1.4m, White Linspire Noble Desk with Shelves Linspire Slate Dual Study Desk, Grey & White & Yellow Linspire Perch Office Chair Linspire Lumina Ergonomic Office Chair Linspire Haze Office Chair, Grey Storage Can Be for Office Supplies & Décor When you're setting up your office space, think of it as your professional style statement, mixing office supplies with a touch of flair. You can look up and see beauty even if you’re drowning in an ocean of spreadsheets. Grab some bookshelves or floating shelves to keep your stuff off the floor and away from your desk. These are great for books, papers and supplies, but even better if you leave some room for décor. That’s because incorporating those personalised items (like family photos, little plants or flowers) will bring joy and colour to those otherwise underwhelming report-writing-filled days. While you’re at it, don’t forget the filing cabinets, desks with drawers, and desk organisers to keep that clutter at bay and give everything its own ordered space, so you’re not having to fumble around. Solidwood Pittsburgh Corner Bookcase, 40x40x180cm, Oak Loft Kiri Bookcase with 8 Doors, 1.2m, White Linspire Ventus Bookcase with Glass Door, Large Linspire Lumen Desk Riser Stand Loft Kiri Drawer Unit on Castors Increase Work From Home Privilege and Comfort with Ergonomic Chairs & Desks Before you dive headfirst into that mountain of work, let’s ensure your home office setup is as comfy and inviting as your favourite armchair. First, let’s get that desk and chair height sorted. Adjustable height desks and chairs are great at giving you extra height if needed, or lowering down to prevent your legs from dangling like a pair of long earrings. But if you’re on the shorter side, don’t worry if you love a chair that’s too high for you; footrests are here to save the day. Since you’ll be spending a chunk of your life in this workspace, make some adjustments for the sake of your back. Investing in ergonomic chairs and desks is definitely worthwhile. Feel free to tinker with everything until it’s just right. Your future self (the one with the happy posture) will appreciate you taking the time. Linspire Ascend Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk 1.2m, White Linspire Lumen Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Riser Stand, 1.4m Linspire Ascend Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk 1.4m, Natural Just Because You Work in Corporate Doesn’t Mean You Don’t Have Style. Your Home Office, Your Vibes When you design your home your way, you’re not just throwing some bits of furniture together. It’s your chance to flex your creative muscles and make the place feel like you. So let’s not forget to extend this sentiment to your home office design, because why on earth would you mimic your corporate cubicle’s vibe? That place is about as inspiring as an old-school fluorescent light. You need a workspace that makes you want to go above and beyond, something that fuels your motivation rather than sucking the life out of you. If you’re channelling Scandi serenity, bold modern vibes, minimalist magic, or a maximalist wonderland, make it personal to you. Let your personality shine far brighter than your computer screen. Solidwood Bailey Desk, Two Drawers, 120x53CM, Walnut Linspire Amie Desk Linspire Edmond Solid Wood Desk, 120cm Solidwood Bailey Desk with 2 Drawers, Natural Fit Out Your Home Office with Urban Sales At Urban Sales, we're all about curated inspiration and believe you don’t have to go broke to have a home office that could. It's not just doable, it's enthralling to put together a workspace that makes you feel like a boss (even if you’re not the boss). It’s so worth it, you’ll thank yourself later. You may even want to share the results on social media. So, get in and shop around like the design aficionado you truly are.

Decorating Tips & Trends

Create Your Perfect Contemporary Style Living Room

So, you’ve finally decided to tackle that living room makeover. Maybe you’ve just moved into a fabulous new place, or you had a life event that screams, “Treat yourself!”. Or maybe the in-laws are coming to visit soon, and you simply must wow them (is there ever really another option?). Whatever the reason, it’s high time to dive into some interior design creativity. If you’re gearing up to entertain some guests or just want a cosy nook that feels distinctly you, creating a contemporary-style living room is all about getting practical and having a blast while you’re at it. If you’re itching for some inspiration on contemporary living room design ideas that make your space feel fresh, inviting, and truly yours, you’ve hit the jackpot. Get ready to get the lowdown on choosing foundational pieces, picking fabulous materials, and mastering the art of putting it all together like you’re the next Kelly Wearstler. What Makes a Living Room “Contemporary”? When you think of modern interior design, picture your campy great-uncle who still wears those artsy turtlenecks, has a vinyl collection and swears by the '60s vibe. It’s all about clean lines, functionality, and that neutral colour palette that makes you feel like you’re living inside a chic, minimalist museum. Now, contemporary design? That's the cool kid at the party who has a knack for changing up their style. They incorporate the cool great-uncle’s style, but take it further; they’re bold, more colourful, and don’t shy away from experimenting with quirky shapes and comfy vibes inspired by what’s happening in contemporary culture. Why YOU & Your Living Room Deserves a Style Refresh Sure, that new outfit might make you feel like a million bucks. But have you thought about sprucing up your space to make you (and guests to your home) feel amazing? As interior design guru Christina DiStefano says, “nurture your home and your home nurtures you back”. Design your space beautifully, and it’ll be as though your living room gives you a hug each time you enter it. The living room is where the magic happens. It’s your stage for Netflix marathons, chilling out while FaceTiming your bestie or just lounging with a good book and a glass of wine. So, if you’re thinking about making some changes, start right there. It’s like the head of the family, setting the vibe for the whole house. Let that living room shine as a place of comfort, connection, and self-expression. So, what are you waiting for? Your home is begging for some TLC. Capture the Essence of Contemporary Style with Our Favourite Living Room Furniture Pieces Finding inspiration for contemporary-style living room interiors can be like a treasure hunt through time, fashion, and nature. You’re curating a collection of your favourite vibes to create the perfect living room oasis. So, how do you channel those contemporary design ideas into your living room? Let’s break it down into three super-simple steps: Form Matters. When you’re scrolling through furniture photos, take a moment to think about what shapes make you swoon. Are you all about sleek lines, or do you prefer some curves to keep things interesting? Your heart knows best. Get Practical. Let’s talk practicality. How does that dream piece fit into your space? And how well does it do what it’s meant to do? Feel It Out. And let’s not forget the most important part: how does it feel? Is the seating comfy enough for binge-watching your favourite series? Does it give you the warm and fuzzies just by looking at it? At the least, you’ll want a sofa, a coffee table, and a rug, with maybe a couple of inviting armchairs to relax in. Play around with a colour palette that speaks to you. Are you into soft neutrals, striking bolds, or soothing muted colours? Mix things up with different textures, like pairing a boucle chair with a sleek wooden coffee table. And don’t shy away from creating a beautiful contrast with light and dark shades. For some serious inspo, check out our Linspire range. It includes multi-functional entertainment units that are as stylish as they are practical, sofabeds that save the day when unexpected guests arrive, and those irresistible round Lotus boucle armchairs that you’ll probably want to pet. Linspire Don 2-Seater Sofa Bed, Off White Linspire Verve Set of 9 Modular Entertainment Unit with 7 Drawers Linspire Lotus Boucle Armchair, Marshmallow When Choosing a Contemporary Sofa, Consider Your Space, Preferred Style, and Fabric When choosing your dream sofa, consider chic contemporary shapes. Who doesn't want a sofa that looks like it just stepped off a runway? Don’t forget the upholstery; what fabric do you love the look and feel of? If you love changing placements, modular sofa options can be rearranged quicker than you can say “game night”. Also, consider scale. Avoid a massive sectional in a small living room. In other words, keep it proportional. Next, add seating like armchairs facing your sofa; perfect for your next marathon chat session. Short on space? Ottomans (footrests that double as seats for guests) are your secret weapon. Linspire Oasis Recliner Chair, Oversize, Seafoam Linspire Aura Foldable Lounge Chair, White Linspire Moss Sofa, 1 Seater Anchor the Space with a Coffee Table Let’s chat about coffee tables. They’re not just for coffee or lost remotes; they're the unsung heroes of living room design. If your space feels like a geometry class with all those right angles, add a rounded coffee table to soften the look. And if your furniture is all curves, shake things up with a rectangular table instead. A coffee table lets you showcase contrasting materials, too. A wood-look, shiny metal, or sleek glass can elevate your space from blah to fabulous. And don't forget storage! Everyone needs a secret stash for random items. A coffee table with a drawer, shelf, or lift-top can keep your clutter hidden while looking chic. Linspire Glimmer Sintered Stone Table Top Coffee Table Linspire Eclipse Nesting Coffee Table with Sintered Marble Top, Set of 2, White Playing with Texture: Rugs, Throws & Cushions So, once you've wrangled those main furniture pieces into your living room, it's time to sprinkle in some personality. The secret sauce to those chic, contemporary vibes? Warm, inviting textures. You can whip this up in no time with some décor items like cosy cushions, snuggly throws, and fabulous rugs. These little gems add that all-important finishing touch of comfort. So go ahead and give your living room the glow-up it deserves. DreamWeaver Trend Medallion Transitional Rug Linspire Theola Standing Mirror DreamWeaver Toscana Geo Lines Rug, Beige Cream, 200x290cm Show Us How You’ve Curated Your Modern, Contemporary Style Living Room At Urban Sales, we’re all about bringing you affordable, quality furniture that gives you all the warm and fuzzy feels.

Dreaming of a Clutter-free Bedroom? Storage Ideas for Any Space

We get it; your bedroom is meant to be your haven. A serotonin sanctuary, if you will. But right now? It’s rocking more of a ‘floordrobe’ vibe and needs a little tidying TLC. It’s kinda hard to relax when your clean laundry pile has its own postcode and there’s a questionable number of empty water glasses on your nightstand. And hey, no judgement! Life gets busy and our bedrooms become the accidental dumping ground. We’ve all shoved things in places they don’t belong. Out of sight, out of mind, right? This blog is here to help you turn that chaos into calm with some bedroom storage ideas that are actually doable and don’t require a full reno or personality change. Whether you’ve got limited floor space, no wardrobe, or just too much stuff, we’ve rounded up our favourite small bedroom storage ideas to help declutter your bedroom like a boss, and create some breathing room, so you can actually enjoy being in your space again. Why a Clutter-Free Bedroom Feels So Good: Your Path to a Peaceful Space Is it really that surprising that Marie Kondo, the queen of decluttering, became a global icon simply by telling us how to sort out stuff? Deep down, we know clutter messes with our heads. It’s like visual noise—hard to relax, harder to sleep, and suddenly, you’re stress scrolling at 1 am, surrounded by ten doom piles. The good news is you don’t have to go full minimalism monk to get this sorted. You don’t have to be a decluttering warrior, because let’s be real: not everyone has the time, nor the desire to toss out their belongings in a tear-jerking montage. You just need a few clever ways to tuck (not shove) things out of sight. When everything has its own little spot—your TBR pile, that stack of comfy jeans, even your grandma’s vintage throw—you’re not living in chaos, you’re living in comfort. Even if you don’t have a ton of space to work with, there are plenty of storage solutions for small bedrooms that still make a big impact. Clever Storage Ideas That Make Your Bedroom Feel Spacious and Organised Let’s delve into somestorage solutions for small bedrooms and large bedrooms alike: Under-Bed Storage—Hidden but Handy for Reclaiming Your Calm Your floor space is prime real estate and that includes the area under your bed. Instead of letting it become a black hole for rogue socks and dust bunnies, put it to work. Under-bed storage drawers are your secret weapon for stashing away extra bedding, out-of-season clothes, or honestly just all those odds and ends you can never keep track of. Underbed organisation is one of the more genius bedroom storage ideas, in our opinion. It’s one of the easiest ways to maximise space and keep your room feeling tidy and easy to navigate. The other option? Skip the bins and go straight for a bed with built-in drawers. These are made for everyday convenience—no heavy lifting, no dragging boxes around. Just smooth-glide drawers that give you quick access to whatever you’re stashing. It’s one of the smartest bedroom storage ideas out there, especially if you’re working with limited space. By using the full footprint of your bed, you’re squeezing out extra storage and creating a stress-free zone. At Urban Sales, our beds with built-in drawers blend comfort with clever storage, making them a dream solution for anyone hunting for small bedroom storage ideas that actually work. Multi-Functional Furniture for Stylish Storage That Simplifies Your Life Multi-functional furniture is a total game-changer, especially if you’re tight on space. We’re talking bedside tables with secret drawers and furniture that pulls double duty without looking like it’s trying too hard. These are the low-key heroes of a well designed room. A bed that stores your off-season clothes and looks like it belongs on a Pinterest board? Yes, please. A bedside table with drawers that keeps things close at hand, while still banishing visual chaos? Total space magician. Go for the widest size your layout allows to maximise every inch—more storage, cleaner surfaces and a more elevated bedroom look overall. At Urban Sales, we’re all about multi-functional furniture that’s design-forward, hard-working and great value for money. Linspire Aspire Bedside Table, Natural Solidwood Norway Bedside Table with 2 Drawers Use Vertical Space with Wall Storage for a Bedroom That Breathes When floor space is limited, it’s time to look up. Another one of our bedroom storage ideas is to make use of wall storage. It’s your secret weapon for giving everything a place without taking over your entire room. Floating shelves are perfect for showing off your fave decor pieces. Wall-mounted hooks? Great for bags, hats and headphones (so basically all the things that end up on the floor). If you really want to level up your layout, try a hanging rack for clothes or accessories. This will help you save wardrobe space and also add visual interest. Wardrobe and Closet Hacks for a Well-Ordered Wardrobe Not blessed with built-ins? Or maybe your current closet is bursting at the seams. No worries, there are plenty other smart, stylish ways to store your clothes. Start with the basics: a freestanding wardrobe or chest of drawers gives you instant storage without the renovation. From here, you can let your creativity run wide. Clothes organisers, baskets, shelf dividers and hangers that actually do their job. Less mess = less stress. From design-forward organisers to versatile drawers and storage baskets, we’ve curated the practical tools that can help you reclaim your space without sacrificing style. Whether you’ve got a full wardrobe or a tight nook, these storage solutions for small bedrooms will mellow out that madness. Linspire Grace Sliding Door Wardrobe, 1.8m Linspire Stele 4-Door Wardrobe with Drawers & Shelf Loft Hampton Wardrobe More Than Just Storage Solutions, Here’s How You Can Keep Your Bedroom Looking Clutter Free Long Term! (With a Little Help From Urban Sales) So, you’ve transformed your bedroom into a clutter-free dreamscape—go you! Now comes the tricky part: keeping it that way. This is where clever storage really pulls its weight. Chests of drawers, peg boards and wall shelves give everything a dedicated home, so tidy-ups are quicker and your mornings are stress-free. Still, sometimes the ‘stuff’ sneaks back in. When it does? It's time to have a bit of fun and ‘game-ify’ decluttering. Try the 12-12-12 method (12 items to donate, 12 to bin, and 12 to put away) and pretend you’re on a speed round of Storage Wars. Or go full KonMari by yourself whether certain items ‘spark joy’. If they don’t, consider tossing them. There’s also the One-Touch rule you can use to maintain tidiness, where if you pick anything up, you deal with it straight away (whether it’s putting it back, fixing it or throwing it away). Tips to Choose the Right Storage for Your Bedroom: Your Personal Style Guide Transforming your bedroom into a stylish, clutter-free zone is totally doable. The trick is to think about how you use your space and what kind of storage will actually make your life easier. Our clever ideas for small bedroom storage are perfect for tight spaces, but they can sprinkle some magic into larger rooms, too. If you enjoy a little yoga in the privacy of your bedroom, make sure you’re clearing out a space on the floor to move around comfortably. When you're adding storage, start small and build up. A chest of drawers can make a world of difference—suddenly, your clothes and other treasures have a home, and your surfaces can finally breathe. From there, you can add in our other bedroom storage ideas bit by bit until you hit that perfect balance of style and function. Our Goal Is To Help You Create A Bedroom That Brings You Joy, Comfort, And A Sense Of Peace At Urban Sales, we’re all about helping you create spaces that feel just right. Whether your style is bold, minimal, cosy, or you’re still just figuring it out—we’ve got pieces to transform your bedroom into a clutter-free haven.

Buying Guide: How to Choose The Perfect Rug

Can you really call a room cosy if it doesn’t have a rug? We’d argue not. Rugs are the unassuming hero of home styling—equal parts warm hug and clever design tool. They soften noise, anchor your furniture and instantly make a space feel more like an inviting haven and less like a furniture showroom. “Okay, I hear you … but how do I kick off my search for the perfect rug?” Great question. Whether you’re on the hunt for the perfect living room centrepiece, a comfy kitchen runner or something stylish to soften your hallway stomp, we've got the tips to help you nail it. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to choose a rug that suits your space, explore the ins and outs of choosing rug sizes and the many reasons why you’ll never want to live in a rug-less home again. How a Rug Weaves Magic into Your Home Rugs are like magic carpets for your home; they possess a special flair that can transform your space in ways few other items can. If you’re still on the fence about choosing a rug, let us show you just how much one well-placed piece can change the entire feel of your space. Ace Your Base Let’s say you have an open area that doubles as a dining room, lounge, and kitchen all at once. Throw down some rugs and BOOM, you’ve created a visual divide. Now it’s super easy to see which area is which. Such ‘zoning’ works equally well in tight little apartments as it does with large open living spaces. And it brings a sense of cosiness and togetherness that makes everything feel well-coordinated. Warm It Up, Baby! Your choice: a chilly, hard floor that sends shivers up your spine or a lush, plush rug that beckons your feet to sink in. It’s a no-brainer where your toes will want to land. And as you step into the room, your eyes will be diverted towards those inviting, warm corners too. Yep, a rug can transform a space from feeling sterile and unwelcoming to warm and oh so-very-inviting. Add a Bit of Shush Whether your home is spacious or you’re making the best out of minimal square footage, one thing’s for sure: a rug can work wonders in muffling down unwanted sounds or echoes. Got neighbours below? They’ll shower you with thanks for not thudding, thudding, thudding across your hard floors (it may seem quiet for you, but a clamour for them). The fix? A great sound-dampening rug! It’s soaks up those echoes and keeps the neighbourhood vibes friendly. Create a Lotta Zhuzh And let’s not forget how much personality a rug can bring to the table (ahem!) floor. It can inject that real ‘factor x’ that makes your house feel like a home. Mastering the Fit: How to Choose the Right Rug Size Every Time Before you get swept off your feet by a charming rug and whisk it home, let’s hit pause and make sure you nail the size first. The wrong size rug (especially if it's too tiny) can end up looking like a dinky little afterthought in your abode. So, whip out that tape measure and let’s size up the situation. You may want to place some masking tape down so you can see where your rug will go. As a rule of thumb, when choosing floor rug sizing, have at least the first two feet of your furniture on the rug. And if you’re eyeing a runner, go for one that’s long enough to strut its stuff. How to Pick Rug Materials That Suit Your Space Let’s talk fibres. When it comes to how to pick rug materials, it all comes down to your lifestyle. Synthetic materials are fantastic budget-friendly choices that save you money and are often stain-resistant, so they’re a smart pick. If you're in the mood for something more natural, cotton rugs add a gorgeous softness and are easy on the wallet, too. For those busy areas where feet frequently stomp about, jute is an excellent natural material that can handle the traffic. And let's not forget wool rugs, the luxurious option worth considering splurging on, it’s a long-lasting option that feels amazing underfoot. Where Will Your Dream Rug Live? Take a moment to consider the design theme of your room. What does it need to feel just right? If you want your existing furniture pieces to shine, let the rug be a nice neutral or contrasting backdrop that frames them perfectly. Got some neutral furniture? Why not bring in a rug with a statement design to create a wow-factor? No matter what, choosing the right rug will define your space and create that cosy atmosphere we all crave. Choosing a Rug for Your Living Room The living room is where life happens—from lazy Sundays to last-minute movie nights—so getting the rug right here is a biggie. A well-placed rug doesn’t just look good, it feels good, too. When choosing a rug for living room styling, think about how your furniture is arranged and how people move through the space. You don’t want chairs teetering off the edge or rugs blocking the natural flow. The sweet spot? A rug big enough to fit at least the front legs of your sofa and armchairs. It’ll help everything feel connected, not scattered. Choosing a Rug for Your Kitchen A rug for the kitchen can play a few roles: hide a floor you don’t like, create a design statement and keep your feet comfy when you’re cooking (when you’ve thrown off your shoes). When choosing a kitchen rug, ensure it’s durable, easy to clean and of course, full of character. Choosing a Rug for Your Bedroom Transform your bedroom into an oasis of tranquillity with a soft-textured rug with calming colours. Depending on your bedroom’s dimensions, consider laying a rectangular rug either horizontally or vertically, embracing the entire bed and both bedside tables, leaving at least 50 cm of rug jutting out on each side of the bed. For a whimsical twist, add a big round rug under the bed and slightly off to the side. The Key is Matching Your Rug to Your Home's Unique Style Now for the fun part, choosing a rug that vibes with your overall interior style. Whether your design style is contemporary, traditional, scandinavian, coastal, or boho, the right rug can tie everything together in a snap. Love Your Rug for Longer with These Simple Rug Care Tips Keep the love flowing for your rug by showering it with a bit of regular maintenance. Vacuum it regularly to whisk away dirt if you have a pile rug; this also helps to fluff it up and make it look as new as ever. Got a spill? Gently press some paper towels to soak up as much liquid as possible, then use a carpet spot cleaner to do its thing. The quicker you act on those stains, the easier they’ll disappear. Also, consider giving your rug a professional carpet clean (if it's made of the right materials) every couple of years to keep it spick-and-span.

Very happy with this aluminium outdoor dining set! Very good quality! The table is very well protected in the package.Nice colour and both me and my cat love it!

Great quality for the price, genuine oak. Make nice speaker cabinets! I have a habit of turning furniture into audio gear and these worked out great!

The perfect unit for our 65" tv with some room on each side for decorations. Really like the stone top which has a nice matte texture and looks like marble. The reason we bought it was because its made from solid wood and the finish is nice, the wood colour is not quite the "light oak" look, it's a tiny bit darker and has a slight yellowish tone to it, but it still looks very nice and modern. Fits all our consoles with some extra storage space too. We've gotten a lot of compliments on this tv unit!

We love our new floating shelf unit! It is perfect for our wall and is such a modern addition under our TV in our new space.

Exactly what I wanted to stage my apartment. Excited to use this afterwards too

I recently purchased this and I am so very much happy with my order. It’s the perfect reading chair for me. It’s super comfortable and I love that it comes with an ottoman. It’s the perfect piece for our living room.

Surprised at home comfortable this is! Great for the price, very easy to put together, already everyone is fighting over it at home! Great product thanks

Great table from the Kave Home range, beautiful teak wood and just the right size I was looking for. Stylish table at a great price that complements our lounge, very happy with my purchase

Great build quality, fitted perfectly into the little spot we had for it. Modified it to mount on the wall, due to the solid joinery it should stay like this for years to come. Very happy.

The perfect addition to our play room. Beautifully made and excellent quality. The deep storage bins are perfect for toys big and small. Already considering purchasing another.

Comfy, looks really nice, and easy to assemble, all for a good price. Happy with my purchase

Great table! Very solid and looks nice!

The side tables are amazing well made, and are great for small bedrooms. I opted for the 2 draw because of the height of the guest bed. They are light easy to move, and very easy to clean. Can't wait to buy more.

This is a beautiful desk that fits perfectly in a small room. The bookshelf is divided into multiple sections, making it convenient to organize, and the drawers are great for storing small items. Most importantly, the desk height can be adjusted to two levels, making it suitable for both children and adults.

Such a great bed frame! Sophisticated, durable, safe, with a modern and airy look. Sustainable too—highly recommend!
