Living at Home is a home furnishings retailer based at 419 Remuera Road, right in the heart of Remuera Village, specialising in curtains and blinds, bedspreads, cushions, lampshades, furniture and upholstery.

Services and what is on offer at Living at Home

For families renovating or refreshing a Remuera home, Living at Home’s combination of curtains, blinds, furniture and upholstery under one roof means several different home furnishing needs can be addressed through a single trusted local supplier, rather than juggling multiple different specialists across Auckland. For Remuera families who’ve used Living at Home for a previous project, returning for a new one, whether a different room or an entirely new home, offers the advantage of working with a business that may already understand your taste and preferences from earlier conversations. For a suburb like Remuera, where property presentation matters considerably to many families, whether for personal enjoyment or eventual resale value, professional quality curtains and furnishings represent a genuine, worthwhile investment in the home.

Hours and how to book at Living at Home

Run by owner Lindsay Chemaly, the shop has served Remuera families with home furnishing projects for years from its Remuera Road storefront. Living at Home’s opening hours, Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm, suit families wanting to browse over a weekend or fit a visit around a working week, worth planning ahead for since the shop keeps somewhat more limited hours than some larger retailers. Families are encouraged to bring photos or measurements of their specific space when visiting, helping staff offer more tailored recommendations rather than a generic suggestion that might not suit the room’s particular light, size or existing decor. For families wanting to future proof a nursery as a child grows, discussing versatile, adaptable furnishing options directly with Living at Home’s team can help avoid needing a complete refresh again in just a few years.

What visitors mention

A local specialist like Living at Home, with direct knowledge of the suburb’s typical housing style, is well positioned to advise on solutions that suit these older properties specifically. For families wanting to see examples of the shop’s work before committing, Living at Home’s own image gallery, published through the Remuera Business Association’s directory, gives a useful sense of the styles and finishes on offer, worth a look before an in person visit. Living at Home’s location on one of Remuera’s busiest and most walkable retail stretches means passing foot traffic naturally introduces new customers to the shop, alongside the steady base of returning local families who’ve used the business across multiple projects over the years.

Planning the visit

For families furnishing a nursery or a child’s bedroom, Living at Home’s range of cushions, lampshades and soft furnishings offers a considered, local option for finishing touches, rather than needing to source these items from a bigger, less personal homeware chain elsewhere in Auckland. Remuera’s genuine mix of larger character homes and more compact modern apartments or townhouses means Living at Home’s range likely spans styles and scales to suit both, worth discussing directly with staff about your own specific space and its particular quirks. For Remuera families wanting to preserve rather than replace a heritage feature, working closely with a supplier who understands character homes helps ensure new furnishings complement rather than clash with existing architectural details.
