Samsung brought some seriously impressive smart-home tech to the Auckland Home Show! 👀 The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo packs a huge 19.5kg washer and 10kg heat-pump dryer into one machine, with AI Wash & Dry+, a 7” touchscreen and even a Super Speed cycle that can wash and dry a small load in around 69 minutes. No swapping clothes between two machines — it handles the whole job from start to finish.

And check out Samsung The Frame 📺🖼️ — a TV designed to look like a piece of artwork when you’re not watching it. The interchangeable magnetic bezels simply snap on and off, so you can change the frame to suit your room, while Art Mode turns the screen into your own digital gallery. The 2026 NZ range includes The Frame Pro in 55”, 65”, 75” and 85”, plus The Frame in 43” and a massive 98” version — the giant one we saw on display at the Auckland Home Show!

🔥🍕 Pizza night just got an upgrade! We checked out the Ooni pizza oven range available from Mitre 10 New Zealand at the Auckland Home Show — with options ranging from compact 12-inch ovens right through to larger models for serious backyard pizza sessions. These ovens can hit temperatures of around 500°C, with some capable of turning out a fresh stone-baked pizza in as little as 60 seconds.

Choose the Koda range for the simplicity and temperature control of gas, or go for a Karu multi-fuel model and get the best of both worlds — cook traditionally with wood or charcoal, then add the optional gas burner when you want the speed and convenience of gas. 🍕🔥 One oven, different ways to fire it up!

Not every backyard – or every shed – is the same. 🏡 The The Shed Shop⁠ specialises in custom-built sheds designed around your space and what you actually need, with no penalty for going “off plan”. Choose your dimensions, roof style, door position, windows, ventilation, shelving, workbench and storage options – even tricky narrow or irregular sites can be catered for.

Then choose the finish that suits your home. Their timber-clad sheds use treated timber framing with 12mm timber-clad ply and can be painted, stained or left natural for a warmer garden look. Or go for pre-painted steel, a durable, low-maintenance option available in a range of colours, with timber framing/rails adding strength inside. Either way, these aren’t flimsy kitsets – The Shed Shop builds, delivers and installs its sheds, backed by a 10-year guarantee. 🔨🏠

There are chopping boards… and then there are TuckerCraft chopping boards. 🪵🔥 Handmade right here in New Zealand by Ross Tucker, these incredible end-grain boards combine premium hardwoods with intricate 3D, brick and geometric designs — creating what Ross describes as “functional art” for the kitchen. They’re designed to be durable, knife-friendly and beautiful enough to leave permanently on display.

We caught up with Ross at the Auckland Home Show to take a closer look at the craftsmanship behind TuckerCraft. From statement butcher blocks and chopping boards to charcuterie boards and completely bespoke creations, every piece is individually handcrafted and finished with food-grade mineral oil and beeswax. If you appreciate genuine craftsmanship and something made to last, these are seriously impressive. 🇳🇿👌

If you love the ocean, these are seriously cool. 🌊 We caught up with Matt from Tides Out Maps⁠ at the Auckland Home Show, where he showed us how they turn real ocean-depth data into beautiful 3D layered wooden maps, revealing the underwater contours normally hidden beneath the waves. Each piece is handcrafted here in Auckland using layers of sustainably sourced timber.

From the Hauraki Gulf and Coromandel to Marlborough Sounds and coastlines around the world, there are 150+ locations to choose from — and Matt and the team can even create a custom map of somewhere that means something special to you. A brilliant piece of wall art for surfers, divers, boaties or anyone who loves the coast. 🇳🇿🌊

This isn’t your average off-the-shelf sauna. Bayther founder Tim Jeffries brings a builder’s eye for detail to every part of the design — from 38mm thermally treated Finnish spruce with continuous-length boards and no glued joins, to stainless-steel fixings, weather-resistant roofing and a genuine Harvia Finnish heater delivering traditional 70–95°C heat.

Built specifically to handle New Zealand conditions, Bayther’s barrel saunas are about doing the fundamentals properly: quality timber, solid construction, great heat retention and a finish designed to look at home in your backyard for years to come. In the video, Tim takes us through the details that make a Bayther sauna a very different proposition from a typical mass-market kit. 🔥🧖‍♂️
