Garden ornaments are the perfect foundation for your outdoor decoration. Not only can they express your personality, but they can provide structure and texture. Whether you’re into creating the zen of a far eastern paradise or want to hark back to a traditional English cottage garden, outdoor ornaments are a great way to start your garden decorating ideas. Prime has the widest range of garden ornaments on the market, at easily affordable prices.
Why you need garden ornaments
As well as expressing your taste, personality, and creating visual interest, garden ornaments play an important role in how to decorate your garden.
Add structure and interest to a garden
They can add structure or interest by creating a focal point. If you have a large lawn, the expanse of grass can be broken up by a stone or terrazzo statue.
Alternatively, another garden ornament idea could be to create a scene or setting by grouping certain ornaments together. You could even take a walk on the wild side with some jungle creatures.
Highlight or disguise certain areas
Garden ornaments can also be used to draw attention either to or from an area. If you have a slightly more rundown patch of garden, where bushes or plants haven’t properly grown in, you could aim the garden’s focus at a statue or ornament on the other side of your space.
A patch of grass or dirt that won’t grow uniformly could also be concealed by a large plant pot as an ornament, a decorative sculpture, or a beautiful bird bath.
Express your personality
As with all decoration ideas, garden ornaments are there to express your personality. If you are an animal lover, why not reflect that through some of our affordable animal statues?
Alternatively, you can bring the animals to you with a bird bath to draw native wildlife to your garden. Or if you prefer a Grecian vibe, make the most of large Grecian-style urns and plant pots to bring a Mediterranean look to your home?
Define the style of your outdoor decoration
When it comes to how to decorate your garden, there are a few factors to bear in mind. While you don’t have to make all of your garden ornaments matchy matchy, it makes sense to define the style of your outdoor decoration before you buy lots of ornaments.
Are you going for a minimalist look, or do you want to fill your garden with life? Will you choose one type of material for your statues and ornaments, or lots of different ones? Try and have some garden design ideas before you begin. It’s easy to adapt them, and nothing has to be set in stone. Unless you want it to be…
Consider the size of your garden
Another thing to bear in mind when it comes to garden ornament ideas is the size of your garden. Too many ornaments in a smaller garden space may look cluttered, while not having enough statues and decorations in a bigger garden might make the pieces you do have look out of place.
What material appeals to you?
There are no hard and fast rules about the type of material you want to have in your outdoor space, but it makes sense to choose hardy materials that can stand up to the elements. Solid sturdy materials such as stone or concrete are hardy and will stand the test of time in your garden, as well as being inexpensive to purchase and maintain.
Choosing durable, hard-wearing materials
Durable, hard-wearing materials like stone, such as terracotta or terrazzo will be able to deal with excess sunshine or rain. While you can easily move smaller statues inside, larger ornaments will be harder to move and it’s easy for certain materials to age if they’re left out too long. For those who like a more historic, aged worn feel to their ornaments, this could be an added benefit.
Picking the perfect position for your garden ornaments
Use your garden ornaments as focal points; you chose them for a reason. Make sure that the grass, shrubs and flowers around your statues and ornaments are trimmed back so they can be shown off to their best advantage. Place them so they’re facing the direction of your house is one thing to bear in mind, as is taking into account how the statues relate to and are positioned near each other.
Combine practicality with aesthetics
Combining practicality with aesthetics isn’t as sensible as it sounds, we promise! It simply means getting double use out of your ornaments by incorporating decorative flower pots, bird baths or water features into your garden decoration ideas.
Bird baths
Bird baths are a beautiful way of decorating your garden. Not only do they provide a focal point, but the birds they attract will bring even more colour, life and noise to your outdoor space. In addition to the natural beauty that they will draw in, bird baths are also a fantastic way to control garden pests. The birds you attract will feed on the insects that might attack your flowers and plants. The sound of birds splashing can also create a relaxing atmosphere in your outside space for you to enjoy.
Water features
Incorporating a water feature is another good way to combine function and beauty for your garden. Prime Liquidations has a number of stunning water features that will refresh your garden, provide a home for wildlife and potentially be a talking point for guests.
Plant pots
Plant pots can brighten up any area, by bringing the foliage out of the garden and onto a patio or deck, as well as being features in themselves. Use them to line pathways, draw attention to specific areas, or even store tools, seeds or potting soil.

At Prime Liquidations, we have so many fresh and unique garden ornaments at every price point to suit every style. Why not contact us or come into the showroom to check out a cheap range that’s sure to put a spring in your step.
Bamboo is an easy and affordable way to decorate your home. With a focus on eco-friendly products and sustainability becoming increasingly important, bamboo allows you to update your home and garden quickly and cheaply. With a few key pieces, such as bamboo screening or fencing, or a stunning Bali hut or gazebo, you can create an entirely new look, in an array of different styles.
What are the advantages of using bamboo?
Bamboo has a number of benefits. As well as its eco credentials, bamboo as a material is durable and built to last. It can also be stylish and functional, either inside or outside your home. Which is exactly what we expect from the pieces we buy for our homes.
Sustainable and eco-friendly
Bamboo is one of the world’s most renewable resources, as it grows so quickly, so it can easily be replenished. One of the real benefits of bamboo is that it thrives without need for any artificial pesticides or fertilisers, which means it’s great for the environment too.
Affordable and durable
While you might expect bamboo to be weak due to how light it is, it’s actually surprisingly durable. It is naturally almost as strong as a hardwood like oak but it’s flexible so it can stand stress well without snapping. This makes it perfect for outside use. If treated properly and looked after, bamboo furniture can last for many years.
What are the best ways to use bamboo?
In addition to its eco credentials, bamboo is incredibly versatile. It can be used inside or outside your home. Inside, bamboo screening or bamboo screen panels are a stylish way to divide rooms or make a wall feature, while outside, their natural place is by the pool or water feature, with bamboo gazebos increasingly popular.
Bamboo panels or bamboo privacy screens
Bamboo makes excellent fencing or panelling due to its size, length and strength. Whether you’re looking to fence off your garden from your neighbours, contain a smaller area such as a flowerbed or vegetable patch, or cover up an unsightly area, a bamboo screen can be trimmed to size, and is sturdy enough to stay put.
You could also consider bamboo screen panels around a pool area to cordon off a changing area for privacy, or protect a seating area from the sun. Inside your home, bamboo can make a fantastic feature on or against the wall in a living space, or bamboo screen panels could stylishly divide off an area that you don’t want little paws or feet to go to. The opportunities are endless.
Bamboo gazebos or Bali huts
Bamboo gazebos and Bali huts are becoming increasingly popular. Not only does a Bali hut recreate that holiday fee but they’re also an affordable way to create a changing or relaxing area by your pool. We have a number of bamboo gazebo designs in all shapes and sizes. An outdoor bamboo gazebo is a useful and timeless way to extend the use of your garden, through all the seasons.
Garden greenery
Planting some bamboo in a statement pot or planter is a great way to brighten up a porch or patio area or bring some natural life inside your home. Bamboo is low-maintenance and easy to care for, which makes it a great home addition. Its warm, earthy trunk will bring natural beauty into your home, without any effort. It also gives you the chance to bring the focus to a statement pot too.
How can you best style your bamboo gazebo?
Bamboo’s neutral shade makes it extremely versatile. You could give your Bali hut a holiday vibe, with ocean hues and bamboo outdoor furniture. Accessorising with bamboo with rattan is also a great combination, and will give your gazebo or Bali hut an eco feel. While it can be tempting to leave a bamboo gazebo as simply a place to change or leave towels, putting furniture in there will expand its use and connect poolside entertaining with being dining and enjoying a few drinks.
Maintaining bamboo to expand its lifetime
As with everything, if you want bamboo to last, you’ve got to look after it. Although it’s relatively low maintenance, it benefits from regular cleaning.
How to clean bamboo
You can clean bamboo furniture using a small broom and duster to get rid of any loose dirt. Then, we suggest applying a soft towel and a very mild soap. Be careful about using anything too harsh; you don’t want to scratch it.
Can you stain bamboo furniture?
Bamboo furniture can be stained, but we recommend sanding it lightly before you apply the stain. Make sure to use sandpaper, so you can control how hard you’re scrubbing rather than a machine that might be too vigorous. Always use a water-based colour or stain, and start slowly. You can always add more coat and layer the colour up, but once it’s been stained, you can’t un-stain it. When you’re happy with the shade you’ve achieved, apply a finish to seal it and make sure the colour stays even.
How long does bamboo furniture last?
How long bamboo furniture lasts depends on how it is cared for, as well as the quality of the bamboo. If it’s been well-crafted, like the range at Prime Liquidations, and it’s treated and cared for properly, your bamboo furniture will last for generations, depending on whether you’re keeping it inside or outside. Harsh weather conditions, overuse, or using the wrong chemicals on bamboo will shorten its lifespan.
We have a huge range of cheap and versatile bamboo furniture in our showroom. Contact us or come down in person. We’d be happy to help you. If you’re interested in bamboo furniture in Perth, we’re confident we’ll have something to suit you.
A daybed is one of the most multifunctional pieces of furniture available. Whether it forms a focal point of your room, partitions off a section of living space, provides a place to sit and read, or helps with seating when entertaining visitors, sleeping is probably the last thing you’ll end up doing on a daybed.
What is a daybed?
A daybed is a comfortable seat for the inside or outside. Its uses are endless. Whether you want a simple wooden daybed, or one that’s covered in pillows and soft furnishings, a daybed will be a vital part of your home, both inside and outside. Prime Liquidations have a beautiful supply of water hyacinth, seagrass and teak, so there should be a wood that suits your comfort and style needs.
Where should you use it?
You can use a daybed as a couch in one of the high-traffic areas of your home, like your living room. Alternatively, you could make it an outdoor daybed, with space for reading the weekend papers or entertaining friends. Or, if you prefer a more ornate look, you could make a carved wooden daybed a feature of your room.
Couch
In a small space, a daybed can serve as a great replacement for a couch. Using a daybed as a couch also provides the easy option of transforming the daybed into an actual full-size bed, should any guests need to stay the night.
Reading nook
Daybeds can offer a cosy place for family members to retreat to, particularly if they’re positioned away from a main living or seating area. Putting a daybed by a window to maximise a view or in a hallway for a piece of calm throws up a whole new range of functions. A daybed could become a reading nook or, in a hall or entranceway, could become the place where the family and visitors remove shoes and leave their bags.
Partition rooms
Similarly to a bookcase or screen divider, a daybed is a great way to partition a room. Due to its low-slung nature, a daybed is an easy way to separate spaces without making a room feel cramped, while providing extra seating at the same time.
Fill an empty corner
A daybed can also be used to fill an awkward space, brighten up an empty corner or cover up something architectural you don’t want on view. If you are placing a daybed in an empty corner, you could also use it for storage, storing books, music or games on top of it.
Outside use
A daybed really comes into its own outside. Unlike a traditional material couch, a daybed can withstand the elements. Unlike soft furnishings, it won’t fade in the sun, or get saturated in the rain. A daybed outside gives off a lazy days holiday vibe while doubling as extra seating for visitors.
How can you style it?
How you choose to style your daybed will depend on the aesthetic of the rest of your home. It’s a versatile piece of furniture that can be styled up with soft furnishings or left unadorned.
Soft furnishings
When it comes to soft furnishings, there’s no limit to what you can throw at a daybed: multiple cushions, rugs, blankets, the lot. As a daybed is a simple, single-level structure, you can use different textures and colours to make the daybed as inviting as possible.
Side tables
While a daybed can be a statement piece on its own, you can also coordinate it with matching side tables or even a coffee table. This works particularly well for an outdoor daybed when you have more space for entertaining. Regardless of where you place your daybed, a side table gives you the chance to style the area with plants, candles, ornaments or pictures and also provides a place to store a drink or a book for your own comfort and convenience.
How to make it comfortable
It’s important to make your daybed comfortable, whether you’re using a daybed as a couch, or even considering the possibility of using your daybed as a bed. The best way to do this is to choose a comfortable mattress (if you want the daybed to have a mattress). Opt for a few supportive cushions and pillows or bolsters in different shapes and sizes, and add a throw blanket to layer it up.
Prime Liquidations has a large selection of daybeds at affordable prices. Call us or come down to our warehouse to check out our range of different sizes and styles and find the perfect, cost-effective daybed for you.
Christmas is quite simply the most wonderful time of the year. The days are lighter and longer, the breeze is pleasant and warm, the end of the year is fast approaching and, grinches aside, everybody is in a good mood. It’s the perfect time to entertain. So here are some of our best festive entertaining ideas for you to make sure you have a very merry Christmas.
Make the most of the outside
While the weather is this good, it makes sense to make the most of outside. Set up outside tables and chairs, to maximise any outside space, although we recommend creating some cover in case of extreme weather.
If your Christmas entertaining is more informal, why not lay out rugs and floor cushions to open up your home to more friends and family.
Weather contingency
One thing to remember when it comes to festive entertaining is to have a weather contingency. Western Australia is generally blessed on the weather front, but Christmas can get very hot, so it’s worth factoring a covered entertaining area into your Christmas hosting, to make sure Santa doesn’t get sunstroke.
Make everyone comfortable
This can be a stressful time of year. While it’s easy to get caught up in the importance of a table plan, or let your budget run away with you, let us remind you that the most important thing is making everyone comfortable.
Seats and space for everyone
Invest in an outdoor furniture set with space for extras. We have a range of stylish benches that can be added to one side of a table to create extra seating. You could also look into storing extra stools and chairs in a garage in case you need them for larger gatherings.
Depending on the size of your garden (and your gathering), you might want to consider setting up two separate areas, with at least one of your garden entertaining areas shaded, so that there’s enough space for everyone.
Let them linger
Why not set up a couple of daybeds, allowing guests to relax and linger over your food and drinks. They could prove to be the perfect fallback, if any elderly relatives need a little Santa siesta, after a busy day of festive entertainment. Daybeds also provide the perfect backdrop for decoration. Why not decorate them with tinsel and other Christmas cheer, or opt for some of our bright but inexpensive cushions to make them comfortable and stylish?
No such thing as too much decoration
Whoever said less is more clearly wasn’t into Christmas. When it comes to Christmas entertaining in a beautiful place like Western Australia, why not make the most of the great outdoors and really go for it with your Christmas outside decoration ideas.
You could string tinsel along the hedges and perimeters as Christmas fence decoration, hang outside baubles from your trees and decorate your front door and bushes and trees with red ribbons. Whether you decide to go OTT or just have a tasteful wreath, Christmas yard decorations are an essential part of the silly season.
Make your Christmas entertaining easy for yourself
While you want your guests to have a great time, don’t neglect your own needs. This means preparing everything as much as you can in advance, so that you can really enjoy hosting Christmas on the day.
Preparation is key
Commandeer family members or neighbours to help you move furniture where it needs to go before guests arrive. This might mean transporting a coffee, dining table or bar from inside to outside, or grabbing a few chairs from another living space.
Accept help
It can be tempting to want to do everything yourself, but remember even Santa has elves. Accepting help when people offer to bring a plate, or help with a starter or a dessert will make everyone feel good.
Why not think about setting up a makeshift bar outside that will allow your guests to make their own drinks as well – it will get the festive mood flowing, and take the weight off of you.
The importance of good lighting
Good lighting is important for two reasons. Firstly, creating a warm glow for evening entertainment through the use of downlights, fairy lights or spotlights will create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere for your guests. You can also use the right lighting to accentuate any water features, statues or unique plant arrangements in the garden itself.
Go green
Another way to add an extra element to your Christmas entertaining is to make use of the greenery in your garden. If you have a large lawn, you’re perfectly placed to hold a garden party. You could have lawn games like jenga or croquet, depending on size, or serve tea, cakes and other drinks on trellis tables.
Plants and plant pots to create privacy
Even if your garden is more compact, you can incorporate greenery into your celebration. Bringing plant pots and decorative urns onto your patio or deck is a great way to section off areas and create structure, as well as helping to brighten up a space.
Create shade
Don’t forget how punishing the sun can be. Make sure you invest in sun umbrellas and consider a Bali hut, or create a seated area under shade, so that anyone who needs a break from the sun can relax and sit down on a chair or daybed too.
Prepare your spare room
Our final festive tip: it might be worth preparing your spare room, in case any of your guests get carried away in the Christmas spirit. Setting up water and aspirin on the bedside table and making sure a bed or daybed is made might be the very best gift you give someone this Christmas.

With the weather warming up, and the garden our new go-to place to be (hello spring), there are plenty of ways that you can maximise your outdoor space. That doesn’t mean you have to neglect the inside of your home either; a well-chosen ornament or sculpture can bring a whole new personality to a familiar room.
How can a garden statue elevate your home?
A garden statue is the perfect way to add some interest to your home. No matter how big or small your home or garden is, the right home ornament or garden statue can brighten up a space or create an inviting, inspired space for you to enjoy or entertain in.
Where should I put a statue in the garden?
Where a garden statue should be situated depends on a number of factors. Just like a new family member or pet, you have to make sure it fits in with its surroundings. That means considering things like size, colour and vegetation, as well as deciding more practical things, like do you want to see the statue in the garden from inside the house or is it something better for a private nook or enclosed space.
Consider the plants
While a garden statue can be the hero piece of any outside space, it makes sense to consider the plants. Be sure to give them enough space to flourish and be appreciated. Your statue also allows you to be playful; instead of wondering where to place a buddha statue in your home, why not place your buddha outside near the pool as though contemplating the water. For those seeking guidance on gautam buddha placement, turning the statue towards your home is supposed to bring prosperity, while facing the buddha to the east and the rising sun to activate its energy. Setting a buddha on the ground is seen as disrespectful; why not consider a plinth or pedestal for your statue instead?
Rabbits or gnomes can be hidden amongst flowers, while other animals like hippos, lions, tigers or monkeys could be placed in jungle groupings. It’s your statue and your garden – let your artwork be a reflection of that.
Consider the scale
A statue should draw the eye, but for the right reasons. This means that size matters. If your garden is on the snug size, consider a small statue or ornament. If you have a larger space, it might be worth having multiple statues in the garden, so that a single piece doesn’t get lost.
Feng shui
For those who are interested in Feng Shui to harmonise their surroundings, you can definitely use your garden statues to channel Feng Shui (which roughly translated means the flow of energy to boost well-being and prosperity). You could use your statues to incorporate the five Feng Shui elements (water, earth, wood, fire and metal) or use a statue as a focal piece to direct the flow of energy.
Different designs and materials
Colours, designs and materials are where your statue can really allow you to put your own stamp on a space. Natural colours of stone might suit a more earthy, traditional garden, while those looking for a modern feel might like to consider terrazzo, a contemporary blend of stone and marble.
Do you have a theme?
Are you trying to create a zen oasis, or an English cottage feel? You can use your statues to enhance existing features, such as fountains, pots and vases or water features, or use them to create something entirely new and fresh. You can also always move your statues around if you want to inject new life into a space, which makes them one of the most cost-effective home design pieces.
How can I incorporate statues and home ornaments into my home design?
Incorporating statues and home ornaments into your home design is really just an extension of your existing design style. You might like to enhance an existing style, or play around with heights and textures to draw some more interest. Home ornaments can be used as a focal point or to draw the eye away from an empty space.
Make sure you choose things that have some real meaning to you, and be sure to take care of them, so that people notice them for the right reasons.
How to look after your statues
How to look after your statues will depend on the material you’ve chosen. Every statue should be dusted regularly to ensure their longevity.
Try to avoid you or any guests overly handling or touching statues or ornaments – this can be easier said than done with younger visitors. For garden statutes that might face exposure to cold weather, consider a sealing spray or perhaps even moving the statues inside over the colder, wetter weather.
We are more than happy to advise you how to best look after any of our products, so feel free to ask.
Prime Liquidations is the premier place to purchase garden statues in Perth. We have a huge range of statues and ornaments for inside and outside your home, and they’re available at a range of prices. Contact us or come into the store today to find out more.
The sunshine in the mornings and the temperature on the dial don’t lie; spring has finally sprung. It’s time to put that winter wardrobe away and welcome a dose of Vitamin D into your home, along with a fresh new look. It’s not just your wardrobe that might need a sunny update; it’s your home too.
Luckily, Prime Liquidations has loads of easy and cheap decoration ideas for spring, and how to get your home ready for sunny days, and the visitors that come with them.
How can I decorate my home for spring?
Decorating your home for spring is easy and you can do as much or as little as you like. Think spring colours, textures and of course everyone’s favourite part of spring: the plants and flowers. And have fun while you’re doing it.
Spring colours
A splash of spring colour could mean adding some soft pastels to your home. Think lavenders, mints or pale pinks. Or it could mean taking inspiration from the fresh pinks, reds and yellows blooming in gardens around Perth. Remember, adding colour doesn’t have to mean new wall colours or carpets; bright coloured furniture definitely sings out spring too.
Spring texture
Adding some texture into your home is an easy decoration idea for spring. Not only will it create warmth and interest, but if you choose some of the natural woods, like teak that we have available then you’ll create that sense of growth in the natural world that we associate with spring.
Spring flowers
And of course, everyone’s favourite part of spring – all of the amazing blooms out there. While fresh flowers will fill your home with colour and scent, for longevity, why not invest in some lush, vibrant fresh living plants as well? You can then reinforce those spring textures and colours with a well-chosen plant pot or vase too. And don’t underestimate the power of quality artificial plants and flowers. We have a wide range of realistic, well-priced artificial plants and flowers, including spring favourites, the tulip. These ones will last you the whole season.
What is considered spring decor?
How to decorate for spring is an entirely personal choice; there are no rules. Generally speaking, spring decor might reflect those feelings of renewal after a long winter. Whether that means a home full of flowers, plants and natural elements or cheerful new garden furniture to make the most of the sunshine is up to you.
Does it have to be expensive?
Spring house decor ideas do not have to be expensive. The good thing about dressing your home for the season should be that it can be done in an affordable way, which is where we come in, with our range of cost-effective and reasonably priced decor.. Brightening up a room with a quirky seasonal pot, or a colourful new piece of furniture doesn’t have to break the bank. It does have to make you smile.

At Prime Liquidations, we have so many fresh and different pieces of furniture at every price point to suit every style. Why not contact us or come into the showroom to check out an affordable range that’s sure to put a spring in your step.
Multifunctional furniture means furniture that can fulfil more than one purpose at the same time (like a table that can also function as a desk or a daybed that can become a space to sleep). As space at home becomes a premium, multifunctional or dual-purpose furniture is getting more and more popular. Why spend money on a piece to fulfil one role, when it can easily do two?
What are the benefits of multi-functional furniture?
Whether you’re looking to save space, and money or build a sense of your own style, multi-functional furniture has a number of benefits:
-
Space
The big one. Multi-functional furniture means you can maximise the space you have, and reduce clutter. If you’ve got a daybed that can function as a sofa or bed or a table that can be worked at, eaten on, or relaxed around, your room and your home is going to look and feel a lot bigger. It also allows you to go to town on your artwork and hanging decor, meaning you can make the most of ornaments and items that reflect your personal style without worrying about a room looking too busy.
-
Reduced maintenance
Less furniture means less cleaning, and who can argue with the benefit of that? Having fewer pieces means you can spend the time you need caring for and maintaining them, particularly wooden furniture, which may require a specific type of cleaning.
-
Minimalism
Living minimally can make you feel more relaxed, as you won’t be distracted by clutter or furniture that might need dusting, moving or packing away. In addition to making you feel more relaxed, investing in dual-purpose furniture items means that what you do have won’t compete with each other, allowing you to make bolder, larger choices if you like.
-
Storage opportunities
If you ask homeowners what they’d like more of in their home, almost all of them say storage. You almost don’t realise how many things you have until you try and fit them all into one space. And while every home comes with its own storage opportunities, furniture that has built-in storage opportunities, like cupboards, shelving or drawers is a big benefit.
-
Cost
Multifunctional furniture is a cost-effective way to decorate your home, as it allows you to focus on what you really need and what kinds of things can add more value. Having to buy fewer things allows you to allocate your budget where you really want it to be, while still having a versatile, stylish home.
What works well as a dual-purpose piece of furniture?
While many pieces of furniture can be given a dual purpose, some items are better suited for multifunctional furniture ideas than others.
Coffee table as a storage option
As the heart of any home entertaining, a coffee table already has a number of functions; it can be a home for books, magazines, drinks, snacks, TV remote, a place to put your feet up.
How about using it as a storage option? Coffee tables with built-in drawers are a fantastic way to store things when you need to spruce the place up, and can be used to keep photo albums, coffee table books or board games, among any number of other household items. If you prefer to have more things on display, coffee tables with shelves are a space and cost-saving way to create extra space for extraneous items.
Bookcase as a room divider
Bookcases make fantastic room divides and allow you to zone various sections of your room. You could place a bookcase near a corner to section off a study nook to function as a home office or place for teens to study. Alternatively, a bookshelf is a good way to carve out an entrance or hallway if your front door opens straight into your living area.
End table as a desk
A hall or end table has a great role to play as a piece of multifunctional furniture. It can also be a place to display ornaments, family photos, or art, and it can be transformed into a desk when required. The right end table could also be used as a dressing table or make-up area if it was moved from the living area to a bedroom. The joy of multifunctional furniture is that their roles can be simultaneous, or they can evolve, as your lifestyle and needs develop.
Chairs and sofas as daybeds
Selecting a daybed in place of a chair or sofa is a clever way to maximise space in your place, and give it a feeling of comfort and cosiness. Daybeds are an excellent place to relax, read a book, or entertain during the day. They are much like sofas, but they transform from day to night much more easily, creating the perfect space for a guest to spend the night.

We have everything you need to make sure your home reflects your personality, and every room sings with your style. Whether you’re looking for a solid wood finish, or a more subtle cane feel, we have an amazing array of cost-effective room screens and dividers. Our products come in a variety of different finishes, from whitewash to beach colours, and they can be ordered in a variety of shades to enhance your home, with plenty of ideas on how to style them.
Room divider screen
A room divider screen is essentially a moveable wall. It can be made from a multitude of materials, but usually wood, which can be sectioned off to create zones or distinct living spaces. With a range of styles to reflect a wide variety of tastes and unbeatable prices, our room dividers and screens are some of the most cost effective in Perth.
Functional purpose
A room divider or screen isn’t all style; it’s got substance, too. Although they are a great way to reinforce a theme or add some flair to your home, they also have a number of functional purposes:
-
Section off a part of the room for privacy or space
You can use a room divider screen to section off a part of your room or space in the house to create space. This is particularly effective in more compact spaces, where you might have a single area with competing needs. You could create a snug to relax in front of the TV or screen off a quiet corner as a home office or study area for the kids.
-
Create an entranceway
First impressions matter, so why not dress your home with a room divider screen? If your front door opens into your living room, you can use a screen to create a makeshift entryway to give your house the style it deserves, and set the tone for the rest of your home.
-
Hide unsightly detail like household goods or architectural oddities.
Screens can hide a multitude of sins. If there are items in your home – like a rogue pipe or an unsightly a/c unit – that you’d rather be covered up, why not use a decorative screen to remove them from view? Even something as day-to-day as children’s art supplies or house items can be covered up with a room divider which can make a storage corner into a feature, rather than something that begs to be tidied away.
Add beauty and create style
Where there is function, there can also be form, and room dividers or screens are also an incredible way to showcase your own style:
-
Liven up an empty corner
While fresh white walls create a fantastic blank canvas for showing off your style, implementing an intricate folding screen or antique divide can transform a space. You can use a screen to change the dimensions of a room and break up any uniformity by introducing something timeless and unique.
-
Showcase art
While a room divider or screen can be a piece of art in itself, it can also provide a place to hang art too. Rather than displaying a favourite picture or piece on the wall, you can bring it out into the room by featuring it on your screen. A screen also makes a great backdrop for family photos, or memories of a special trip. Or you could consider using the screen to hang a mirror, to make your room look larger.

Reinforce a colour scheme
Using a room divider or screen to complement wall colour or pick up on accents or splashes of colour in your soft furnishings is another good way to tie your room together and make sure your style is working for you without having to spend thousands. One of the biggest benefits of integrating a screen or room divide into your room is how versatile it is, which is great for your taste, and will fit any budget.
