Discover how this woman dramatically transformed her living room using simple Kmart styling techniques
- Replies 2
If you’re looking to give your living room an upgrade but don’t have the budget for any major changes, take some inspiration from this shopper who created a stunning living room transformation with a few smart styling tricks and affordable Kmart products.
In a recent post on social media, the savvy homeowner shared a photo of her newly-styled living room shelves and explained that her hubby had made and installed the timber shelving himself with a messmate purchased from a local timber yard.
For the styling, she had sourced most of her products from Kmart’s Home & Living range, and her eye for design had taken the room from drab to fab in just a few hours. With a few clever styling tricks, she integrated surface finishes, textures, and colours to turn a simple shelving unit into something that could easily grace the pages of a style magazine.
The photo of the stylish living room was shared on a popular Facebook group for Kmart fans and quickly garnered plenty of praise from the members, who were quick to applaud the woman for her impressive styling skills. They were particularly impressed with her ability to turn low-cost finds into something so stylish.
'So many of the things in here are from Kmart–wood-look box frames in various sizes, tasteful coffee table books, artificial plants, ceramic vases, and an eclectic mix of decorative ornaments,' one group member said.
'Props to The Reject Shop for their home decor offerings too,' another member said. 'They have some beautiful things in there at the moment.'
Other Budget-Friendly Home Decor Tips
Keeping the transformation trend going, there are many other ways you can spruce up your home without splashing the cash. Here are additional budget-friendly tips that can maximise your home's potential while keeping costs low.
One of the cheapest ways to change the entire look of a room is by simply changing the colour. A new coat of paint can make a room look cleaner, bigger or even warmer, depending on the colour you choose. It's a resourceful way to freshen up your space, and it only takes a weekend. Look out for sales or deals at your local hardware stores to maximise your savings.
Second-hand shops and bargain stores are treasure troves of inexpensive and unique items that can be used to decorate your home. Don’t overlook items that may seem a bit worn out. With a bit of creativity and DIY, you can refurbish these objects and bring them back to life.
Maintaining a theme can also help cut costs. Rather than buying an assortment of random pieces, try and stick to a particular theme or colour palette. This ties the room together visually and gives it a more sophisticated look. And remember, less is always more. A clutter-free, minimalist approach to home decor never goes out of style.
And let's not forget the power of natural elements. Plants can bring life to any room, improve air quality, and act as natural decorative elements. They’re also relatively inexpensive, especially if you propagate them from cuttings from your garden or friends and neighbours.
Remember, elegance does not always have to be expensive. These budget-friendly techniques could have your home looking magazine-worthy in no time! If you haven’t seen the latest products from Kmart yet, check out Kmart’s stunning new Living range for August!
