Why Compact Sinks Are the First Choice for New Zealand Kitchen Upgrades

With the average kitchen size in New Zealand homes shrinking by 12% (NZIA 2025), it's time to rethink your sink. Traditional double sinks take up 0.72㎡—enough room for two air fryers! Enter NZ Homeware’s compact sinks: a smarter, space-saving alternative for modern kitchens.
