Black Friday 2025: Home Renovation Wishlist

  • 3 min read

Black Friday: the perfect time to refresh your home

Every November, Australian homeowners look forward to Black Friday, not just for tech deals, but for a rare chance to invest in their homes. Whether you’re planning a full renovation or simply want to refresh your space before summer, the Black Friday sales are the ideal time to buy design-forward, lasting pieces at a better price.

The truth is, you don’t need to rebuild to reinvent your home. Small, smart upgrades, like new handles, statement lighting, or updated fixtures, can change how your rooms look and feel, often in a single weekend.

Why Black Friday is the Best Time to Renovate

For renovators and interior lovers, Black Friday 2025 offers more than discounts. It’s a chance to buy quality items you’ve had your eye on all year, the solid brass handles, the handmade ceramic sink, or the statement pendant that ties everything together.

With summer approaching, lead times improve, trades are easier to book, and shipping delays tend to ease. It’s the perfect window to make design decisions and get your new pieces installed before Christmas.

If you’re planning to shop, think of it less as impulse-buying and more as investing: upgrading the details that add daily enjoyment and long-term value to your home.

Your Black Friday Renovation Wishlist

Here’s how to make the most of the sales, room by room, with a mix of local Australian brands that combine craftsmanship, quality, and style.

1. Hardware that transforms – Manovella

Start with the details you touch every day.

At Manovella, our locksmith-designed handles are made with precision, strength, and style in mind. Swapping out tired knobs or handles for modern brass, nickel, or matte black finishes instantly lifts a kitchen, bathroom, or hallway.

These small changes often give the biggest visual return, and Black Friday is the time to invest in hardware that’s built to last, not just to look good.

2. Statement furniture – En Gold

A renovation isn’t complete without a hero piece. En Gold is known for its soft, sculptural furniture made from natural stone and travertine.

Their handcrafted consoles, side tables, and plinths bring warmth and organic texture to minimalist homes. Paired with Manovella’s metallic finishes, you’ll create an elevated balance of simplicity and character.

3. Lighting that sets the mood – Lode Lighting

Lighting changes everything. Lode Lighting curates pendant lights, sconces, and lamps that turn everyday rooms into thoughtful spaces.

A well-placed wall light or pendant over the dining table not only adds depth and warmth but also helps highlight the textures of your furniture and fixtures.

4. Ceramic touches – Mud Australia

In kitchens and bathrooms, texture makes all the difference. Mud Australia creates handmade porcelain pieces that are minimalist, tactile, and quietly luxurious.

Whether you’re styling shelves with their ceramic bowls or choosing a soft-toned basin for a vanity, these pieces add subtle beauty and a distinctly Australian feel.

5. Furniture and joinery – Jardan

When it comes to craftsmanship, Jardan leads the way. Their made-to-order furniture combines sustainability with timeless design.

A locally made sofa or dining table from Jardan becomes a long-term feature, especially when styled with thoughtful accessories and high-quality fixtures.

6. Finishing touches – Weave Home

Texture brings comfort. Weave Home offers soft furnishings that complete a room, think pure linen cushions, wool throws, and handwoven rugs.

They’re ideal for tying in colour tones from your hardware and furniture to create a cohesive, welcoming space.

How to Shop Smart this Black Friday

  1. Make a wishlist early. Decide what you genuinely need, hardware, lighting, furniture, and save the products you love ahead of the sales.
  2. Check stock and lead times. Premium brands often work to order, so early research avoids disappointment.
  3. Compare Australian retailers. Supporting local businesses often means better shipping and service.
  4. Look for bundles or upgrades. Some brands offer free shipping or complementary custom options during sale events.
  5. Plan your installation. Book trades early to ensure your renovation doesn’t stall once your new pieces arrive.

Bringing it all Together

Refreshing your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming, or expensive. With the right upgrades in the right places, you can achieve a designer look that lasts well beyond the sales period.

Start small, think quality, and build your wishlist around pieces that bring both function and joy to everyday life.

This Black Friday 2025, explore Manovella premium handles and hardware and create a home that feels uniquely yours, one beautiful detail at a time.
