www.rume.nz Like many good ideas, this one started between two friends with a mutual love for beautiful objects, thoughtful design and interiors that felt as good as they looked. We started collecting - but we were fussy, we want

ed the kind of pieces that make you do a double take and ask “where did you get that?”; We were also very particular about quality items, comfort, form and function. Over time, what began as a shared passion project naturally evolved, and now it’s just me, Shon - the face you see in store, styling new spaces, packing orders, updating the website or filming reels for Instagram; (and potentially sampling the local Pinot at one of my favourite Martinborough vineyards or at the Brewery conveniently behind the store). I’m obsessed with timeless design and well-made pieces - and that’s exactly what you’ll see when you walk into Rume. (besides rearrange the furniture constantly)
Rume is more than just a beautiful store (but it's a really beautiful store). I also offer home styling consultations - whether you’re revamping your space, setting up a new one, or just can’t figure out why your living room still feels off. Need help finding the perfect piece? I am an expert hunter, too. If there’s something specific you’re after - that just-right pendant light, the elusive dining table of your dreams - I can source it for you, even if it’s not currently in our collection. Our collection (it’s not just a phase)
The range is constantly evolving. I like to keep things fresh and curated, so what’s on the shelves today might not be here next time you visit. I follow design trends loosely but always trust my gut when it comes to what to add to the range in store and online. Every season, you’ll see a slightly new edit. I believe in quality over quantity, soul over sameness and homes that reflect the people who live in them (like you!). Drop by the shop, browse online or get in touch if you need a wee bit of help with anything styling - Everyone knows I love a chat!

It has taken me a couple of days to post this… and I may have lost it completely when I unpacked this incredible piece of art on Thursday 🥺
We lost our beautiful ginger boy, Ninja, in February.
He was a huge part of our family for almost 15 years. My boys grew up with him, and he was more human than cat… a devastating loss for us and I still can’t believe he has gone 🥺 (Sorry, I knew this would be a long post!).

I sent a couple of photos to the very talented Tim Christie, and the resulting artwork has captured Ninja in the most “purrfect” way. When I opened the box, it was so him - in all his chonky ginger glory.

I know art can make you feel things, but when it’s this personal, it evokes emotions beyond words. Looking at this piece brings back so many memories, and somehow Tim has captured not just how Ninja looked, but who he was.

Ninja will be hanging in store with me for a while, so come and see for yourself just how awesome he really is 🥰
Thank you 🫶

I did something really dumb today 🫣.
I have put together trillions of pieces of furniture in my time, including vintage pieces pulled completely apart, restored and put back together. So, when it comes to a three part coffee table, the instructions don’t even come out of the box, I know what I am doing.
How everrrr… the solid round leg on this coffee table had a long screw through it, so on it goes and with no mucking around it gets tightened… when I thought it should be tightening up there was a huge cracking sound and I instantly knew the screw had come through the top 🙄😩. In the hardware bag there was a washer, probably should have checked that.
After a call to the awesome Eddie at Ned Collections in Christchurch to confess my mistake, he came up with a solution and a new top is on its way.
All my suppliers are in New Zealand and only a phone call away, I had an overnight delivery from the coolest Naibu team in Wellington for an urgent customer order today, Two amazing suppliers coming to the rescue which inspired this post. Although I work alone, I have the absolute best teams around me.
Anyway, how cool is this coffee table!! Available in black, brown and natural 🥰

I have always said no item in Rume is a need, but this cute little Origami porcelain chopstick rest changes everything. Paired with very cool hexagonal chopsticks (dishwasher safe!) and Green Converging bowls you can get the fancy Japanese restaurant feels at home like I have 🥢🍜
