Custom Living Room Furniture

The living room is one of the most important parts of your home and should not be overlooked when it comes to décor. Furniture plays an essential role in making the space uniquely yours. Thoughtfully designed furniture brings warmth, comfort, and style, transforming your living room into a welcoming haven where your guests feel at home. At Motide, we handcraft each piece with care using solid wood and plywood, combined with steel and sometimes stone, glass or concrete to add visual interest and personality to your living room.

Bespoke Living Room Furniture for Modern NZ Homes

Modern Kiwi homes are increasingly focused on creating spaces that balance style, functionality, and sustainability. The current trend leans toward minimalist, open-plan living areas where each piece of furniture serves a purpose while contributing to the overall aesthetic. Bespoke furniture is the perfect fit for modern living rooms, offering the flexibility to craft pieces that are tailored to the unique design preferences. 

At Motide, we specialise in creating handcrafted pieces that seamlessly blend with the modern NZ lifestyle-functional, beautifully designed, and made with sustainable materials.

Sleek Custom Bookshelf

A sleek custom bookshelf elevates the look of your living room, serving as the perfect display for your treasured books, vintage pieces, and personal collections. At Motide, you’ll find a custom-made bookshelf made in Raglan, NZ. Whether you prefer a minimalist design with clean lines or a more intricate piece with built-in storage, we create custom bookshelves that seamlessly blend into your living room’s aesthetic. 

For larger spaces, we can design floor-to-ceiling shelving units that make a bold statement while offering ample storage. Looking for something more unique? Consider floating shelves for an airy, open look, or a bookshelf that wraps around a doorframe for a creative use of space. 

We can also design built-in shelving that doubles as a media unit. If you have an awkward corner, we can create corner bookshelves that make the most of every inch of your living room. We also offer modular designs that allow you to change the configuration based on your needs.

One-of-a-kind Coffee Table

A coffee table is the centrepiece of any living room, serving as both a functional piece and a design statement that ties the room together. At Motide, we create one-of-a-kind coffee tables that reflect your unique style and elevate the aesthetic of your living space. Whether you're looking for a sleek, minimalist design or a rustic, organic feel, we can craft coffee tables using solid wood like NZ Kauri or Rimu timber each offering its own warmth and texture. For a more contemporary look, plywood can be used to achieve clean lines. We work with different types of Plywood. You can choose from Birch, Walnut, Meranti, Gaboon, laminated plywood in various colours and more and natural wood stains and oils that enhance the beauty of the grain. 

We also offer custom shapes-from round tables that soften the room's edges to rectangular or asymmetrical designs that add a unique flair. With a variety of finishes, from polished wood to natural matte, your coffee table can be customised to complement the overall decor of your living room.

Elegant Plant Stands

Elegant plant stands are a perfect way to bring nature indoors while enhancing your living room décor. At Motide, we craft unique timber plant stands that not only showcase your plants but also add warmth and character to your space. Each stand is designed as a one-of-a-kind piece, using beautiful offcuts of hardwood and reclaimed timber from our other custom furniture projects.

Whether you prefer the rich tones of reclaimed Rimu, the sleek beauty of Blackwood, or the lighter, natural feel of Ash or Beech, our plant stands can be customised in different materials and sizes to make them truly unique.

Transform Unused Corners with Wooden Wall Shelves

Does your living room have those awkward, overlooked corners that you want to decorate for a cohesive look? These spaces are full of untapped potential and you can transform them into functional and stylish areas. At Motide, we create custom shelving units that fit even the trickiest corners, bringing life and personality to previously neglected spaces.

Consider adding sleek floating shelves in a corner near your sofa to display your favourite books or decorative pieces, creating a cosy reading nook. A narrow, vertical shelving unit can be placed beside a window to hold plants, adding a natural, airy feel to the room. For a more dynamic look, staggered corner shelves can add dimension to an empty space, perfect for showcasing unique sculptures, framed photos, or vintage finds.
