nood — the name is short for New Objects of Desire — is a New Zealand furniture and homewares brand, and the nood Wellington Outlet in Porirua City is the capital's outlet destination for the range. You'll find the store at Shop 1.11, 2-10 Semple Street, where the breadth of the nood catalogue meets clearance pricing, floor stock and ever-changing hot deals.
The range runs deep. Seating spans two-seat and three-seat sofas, modular designs and sofa beds, alongside armchairs and ottomans. Room by room, you'll find coffee and side tables, cabinets, sideboards and shelving for the living areas, bedroom furniture, dining tables and chairs with bar stools and benches, desks and office chairs for the home office, and outdoor pieces for the deck. Rugs come in sheepskin and round styles, and a dedicated Elements collection covers coordinated furniture and home décor.
Layered over the furniture is a broad homewares edit: cushions and throws, vases, wall art, mirrors, clocks, ornaments, plants and planters, baskets and storage, lighting, home fragrance, and kitchen and dining pieces from plates and bowls to glassware and serveware. As an outlet, it's also the place to hunt the Clearance and Hot Deals collections — discounted sofas, rugs, cushions, dinnerware and accessories — plus floor stock. Kids' gifts, games, gift wrap and digital gift cards round out a browse that works whether you're furnishing a whole home or picking up a present.
Step into the nood Wellington Outlet and you're stepping into one of New Zealand's best-known furniture and homewares brands at its most accessible. nood — the name is short for New Objects of Desire — has built its reputation on furniture and décor with a bit of personality, and this Porirua City store is the capital's outlet destination for the range. You'll find it at Shop 1.11, 2-10 Semple Street, where the full sweep of the nood catalogue meets clearance pricing, floor stock and ever-changing hot deals.
nood trades from stores around New Zealand as well as online, and the website doubles as the full catalogue — every collection, from sofas to serveware, can be browsed digitally. The Wellington Outlet adds the thing a screen can't: the chance to sit on the sofa, sink into the cushions and see fabrics and finishes in real light before you commit.
Like any good furniture store, it starts with the sofa. The seating range covers compact two-seaters for apartments, full three-seaters for family rooms, modular sofas that can be reconfigured as your space changes, and sofa beds that pull double duty when guests stay over. Armchairs and ottomans complete the lounge picture, and the Elements collection offers a dedicated line of furniture and home décor for easier, coordinated styling.
Whether you're furnishing a first flat, upgrading a family home or refreshing a rental, the range is organised so you can shop room by room — or mix pieces across collections if that's more your style.
Beyond the lounge, the store maps neatly onto the rest of the house. The living room edit includes coffee and side tables, cabinets and sideboards, and storage and shelving. Bedroom furniture gets its own department, while the dining range brings together dining tables, dining chairs, bar and counter stools, and benches. Working from home is covered too, with desks and office chairs in the home office line-up, and there's outdoor furniture for the deck or courtyard. Furniture care products sit alongside it all, so you can look after what you buy.
What turns a furniture shop into a proper browse is everything around the big pieces, and nood's homewares edit is broad. Rugs come in sheepskin and round styles; soft furnishings span cushions and throws; and the décor shelves hold vases, wall art, mirrors, clocks, ornaments, plants and planters, baskets and storage, and general home accessories, with lighting to set the mood. The kitchen and dining side covers plates, bowls and mugs, glassware and serveware, while home fragrance adds scent to the mix.
Because this is the outlet, some of the best finds live in the Clearance and Hot Deals collections — discounted sofas, modular sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, rugs, cushions, home accessories and dinnerware — along with Floor Stock. Stock varies, which is rather the point: regulars tend to drop in to see what's landed.

One practical note: this page doesn't publish opening hours for the Porirua outlet, so it's worth checking nood's store locator or calling the support line before making a long trip. Once you're there, give yourself time — between the furniture floors, the décor shelves and the clearance racks, it's the kind of store where a quick errand has a habit of becoming an afternoon.
