Kmart’s Expanded Furniture Collection
In response to growing demand, Kmart has expanded its range of statement furniture pieces. The collection now includes larger furniture items, such as entertainment units and TV cabinets, allowing shoppers to fully furnish a room on a budget. “Furniture has been part of our range for a long time,” says Nicholas Holmes, “however customers are looking for, and we want to be able to offer, the complete solution for the home.”
The range focuses on providing functional pieces that help customers finish their living spaces. As Holmes explains, “With the cost of things being so high at the moment, the areas we can expand into help the customer finish spaces and create functional spaces with us.” The goal is to offer a comprehensive solution for those looking to refresh their homes without the hefty price tag.
Styling Tips for Your Home with Kmart’s New Range
When it comes to styling your living spaces with the February Living Range, Kmart has some helpful tips. For the living room, Nicholas Holmes recommends following the rule of three or five when arranging decor items. Using odd numbers creates a more curated and balanced feel.
Mixing and matching cushions and throws in different sizes, shapes, and textures is essential for achieving a layered, inviting look. Artificial plants are also becoming more popular, and Kmart has introduced a collection of faux greenery that can be mixed with real plants to enhance the room’s atmosphere.
In the kitchen, Kmart suggests adding small, functional decor items such as mini framed art pieces for a pop of colour. The $7 mini framed art can serve as a great alternative to bulky cookbooks. To add balance, pair tall objects with smaller items, such as storage canisters and glass jars filled with fresh herbs.

The dining room remains a popular space for hosting gatherings, and grazing tables continue to trend. Kmart’s new range offers plenty of pieces to help style these tables, including the $10 Natural Stripe Tablecloth. This simple yet effective piece adds contrast and dimension to the table, creating a stylish focal point.
Kmart’s expanded collection of serving boards makes it easy to mix and match different timbers, allowing customers to create a visually appealing and functional dining setup.
The Future of Kmart’s Homewares Range
Kmart’s February Living Range marks a significant milestone in the retailer’s ongoing commitment to making stylish, functional homewares accessible to all Australians. As Holmes explains, “So what’s been really popular about this chair is… it’s a very familiar shape coming through trends, so high contrast between the natural cushion and the black frame.” The new range is expected to continue evolving, providing affordable options for Australian homes as the cost-of-living crisis persists.
