The best buys from Kmart Home’s first 2018 drop

January 31, 2018 4 Comments

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Kmart‘s February Living 2018 range dropped this week and, like every other collection, it’s almost certain to start a stampede. There’s plenty of blush pink (seriously, millennial pink has to be one of the most enduring trends right?!), moody giant florals, a smattering of cobalt blue and plenty of texture too.

“We’re so excited to see this beautiful, new range come to life. With luxurious velvets, woven fabrics and natural look materials, the latest range is all about texture and our customers can get really creative and change the look and feel of any room,” says Julie Miller-Sensini, Kmart’s general manager of Living.

Kmart velvet occasional chair in blush: Kmart always seem to produce one standout chair per collection and this time it’s this. Expect a waitlist. $49.

Kmart large floral print: At a metre wide, this statement print lets you dip your toes into the moody oversized floral trend without breaking the bank. $19.

Kmart salt and pepper grinder: I love a bit of ombre and this black and white number has classic good looks. $9.

Kmart timber A-frame rack: Portable clothes racks used to be so ugly but this is anything but. $39.

Kmart Indi oblong tray: I love the curves of this piece and cobalt blue is tipped to be big for winter. $7.

Kmart brass look shaded lamp: A little touch of luxury for the bedside table and priced at a mere $20.

Kmart shapes framed print: A neutral abstract design, this print would look great in a gallery wall setting. $10.

Kmart pot with acacia stand: This is the latest iteration of a design that’s been available at Kmart for a while now – the blonde wood has been replaced with something more masculine. $15.

Kmart pink ombre vase: This pretty pop of coloured glass would look fab on a window ledge with some greenery and it’s perfect for gifting flowers too. $5.

Kmart decorative metal ladder: Ideal for the bathroom, or as magazine storage, this is a great example of just how on-trend the mega store can be. $25.

One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavet One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavetimeforthis, turns out former Neighbours actor @gemma_peanut is even more multi-talented than we thought! Will you check out the joyful and colourful reno of her holiday home (and airbnb) @yo_caba_caba?!

Head over to the blog via link in bio to read all about why she went bold and full of pattern in this project, which is a stark contrast to her zen and neutral Northern Beaches abode.

There's also plenty of details about where things are from etc.

"I’m not an interior designer so I just chose what I liked and followed my gut. Ultimately this home has been an opportunity to explore my alter ego – it allowed me to do things that I wouldn’t normally do.”

Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial family category and they're a special gift. So ends three weeks with @danisteve81 who left her husband and son in the UK (I'm forever grateful they lent her to me!) to come and cheer me up and help me in the most practical ways after I spent Christmas and New Year in hospital. There were tears and I miss her so much already but how amazing to have had all that time together as adults. Such a rare treat and would never have happened without having been through something so challenging. Silver linings and all that. So many other friends have also been incredibly thoughtful and kind. There aren't many times I'd say this without cringing but I am 100% blessed!

I still cannot believe we have been friends since we were 12! 12! Are you still close with your childhood besties?
The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_ho The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_house is a work of art and while almost every surface was updated, the decision to keep the original slate floor was genius if you ask us. 

Owner @clarehillier__ says: "With its purple, pink, red and brown tones, the slate was the starting point for our interior palette."

Come and check out the before and afters via link in bio now and read the reno story. It's a real beauty.

And you can book it for your next holiday too!

Hello friends! Just thought I'd say hi. Two weeks Hello friends! Just thought I'd say hi. Two weeks since leaving hospital and I'm doing much better than I expected to be at this early stage. A long recovery road ahead but making progress in how much I can move my arm and although I drag myself through some days non-stop yawning, others I can go for a little walk or out for lunch before collapsing on the couch! I can now tie my own hair back and put on a real bra which is very exciting 🤣 Having my bestie here to help us with the boys, drive me places and just be brilliant positive company is the best thing I could have asked for not to mention the many Dinner Ladies vouchers from friends! Thanks for all your kind messages, cards, flowers, gifts and offers of help ❤️
I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping I definitely feel like a statistic now but hoping to raise some awareness off the back of my misfortune (and also very lucky escape).

@newsouthwaleshealth have just put out this warning about a rise in serious bacterial infections. iGAS (invasive group A streptococcus) is what caused my necrotising fasciitis and sepsis.

Apparently there's similar happening in VIC too.

It's extremely rare but very serious nonetheless so please have a read and be aware of symptoms. I've linked to the article from a button via my link in bio.

While new technologies continue to shape the inter While new technologies continue to shape the interior design scene, one that has been getting a fair bit of traction of late is marble-look porcelain. A cheaper alternative to natural stone, the latest printed porcelain tile technology makes it difficult to distinguish from the real thing.

Founded by husband and wife duo Anton and Rita Bourtsev, Sydney’s @kaolintiles has a unique offering in this space with over 100 different marble-look tile designs in small and large formats.

    It is so funny, I have had pink in my house for years in fact my house is painted a pinky colour. I grew up in a pink house, with a velvet lounge of plum and pink. Love all pastels. So glad that it is in. You can have what you want and love in a house without keeping up with the lastest fashion. But I do love all the gorgeous choices you have today at a great small price.x

    Kmart rubbish …. not everyone wants it! Unless you have no class! They sell “land fill”
    Parrots in design … why not create something original. Business like yours ruin the retail industry and insult interior designers who have a real talent of creating an individual theme.

    Imagination is greater than knowledge for without it there would be no knowledge.

    I would think twice before decorating your home with all Kmart parrot look land fill.

      Hi Ericka
      We feature many different brands and highlight so much Australian independent design too. We let our readers decide what they want and can afford and sometimes it’s a bit of both. I don’t feel it’s our place to judge but we certainly don’t ruin the retail industry, we heavily support it and Australian designers and design.

      I agree with Tilly. These ‘affordable’ mass produced copies completely cheapen the designers work and brand, are made for a season – thus contributing to land fill. We need to think outside the box, look after the environment and reduce, reuse, recycle! Supporting local retailers and Australian designers and promote eco friendly products and not feeding the
