During Australia’s winter season, there are incredible opportunities to snag deals on home furnishings. From June to August, the colder weather presents a great time for home remodelling projects, and retailers offer great deals on quality furniture and decor items.

Note: We specialize in selling second-hand and seconds furniture, but we do not purchase pre-owned furniture.

Importance of Winter Sales for Australian Homes 

Australia’s winter season brings the new tax year, presenting many opportunities for home repair projects. In addition, the new furniture’s humidity in many areas makes delivery and installation simple, while shopping and decorating become a pleasurable activity due to the moderate weather. 

Key Winter Sale Advantages: 

• Maximum markdowns from end-of-financial-year clearances 
• Shopping made easier with low temperatures, and home improvement less strenuous 
• Retailers clear inventory before the spring shift in collections 
• Additional tax refund boosts spending

Considerations During Australian Seasons  

Furniture needs to respond to the diverse climate zones in Australia by adapting to the different weather conditions throughout the year.

Climate-responsive Features Include:

• Regions with a tropical and subtropical climate have moisture-resistant finishes. 
• For temperature-responsive materials for different seasonal conditions, the fabric has to be regulating.  

Timing Purchases Around Major Sale Events:  

• During winters, most regions experience reduced delays due to external weather conditions. Thus, winter delivery is preferred.
• Installation timing aligned with seasonal weather patterns 
• Assembly services for intricate pieces
