As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, it's the perfect time to refresh our homes with cozy and stylish touches. And who better to turn to for affordable home decor than Kmart, the beloved retailer known for its trendy yet budget-friendly finds? The latest buzz among home decor enthusiasts is all about a charming $15 item from Kmart's new living range that's causing quite a stir on social media – and it's easy to see why.

Zoe Gilpin, an expert in affordable DIY and home styling who shares her tips under the handle @thediydecorator on Instagram, has highlighted her top picks from Kmart's fresh collection. Among these, the $15 Puddle Mirror has caught the attention of many for its versatility and on-trend design. 'The puddle trend is huge at the moment,' Zoe explains, 'and Kmart has ticked the boxes, providing a variety of puddle-style pieces, including floor rugs & mirrors.'


This delightful Puddle Mirror, which can add a touch of whimsy to a bedroom or makeup desk, doubles as a chic makeup tray when laid flat. Its unique shape and functionality make it a must-have for those looking to inject a bit of personality into their space without breaking the bank.


The excitement doesn't stop there. TikToker Shelly, known as @saeshell to her followers, took to the platform to share her excitement for Kmart's new furniture and homewares. In her video, she walks through the store, showcasing her favourite finds. From the $7 Rib Soap Dispenser in adorable pastel hues to the $12 Bow Wavy Bath Mat, Shelly's enthusiasm is palpable as she declares, 'Kmart, you're killing me, this is too good.'


But it's the range of mirrors, including the Wavy Mirror, Puddle Mirror, and Two Tone Arch Mirror–all priced at just $15–that truly captivates her. 'So many adorable, aesthetic options... I'm obsessed,' she gushes.

Shelly's followers are equally enamoured with the new range, with comments ranging from the humorous 'Don't let my wife see this' to the aspirational 'I wish I had 100 houses to decorate just with Kmart things.' The sentiment is clear: Kmart's latest offerings are irresistible, and fans are eager to incorporate these pieces into their homes.

Kmart's Home Buyer, Nicholas Holmes, acknowledges the current economic climate, stating, 'We recognise Australians are still experiencing the cost of living pressures, and we are proud to be launching a range that offers our customers accessible ways to refresh their space at an affordable price point.' With the introduction of larger statement furniture pieces like buffets, side tables, and occasional chairs, Kmart aims to alleviate the burden of purchasing big-ticket items for the home.


It's evident that Kmart's living drops are highly anticipated events, with social media buzz growing as shoppers get their hands on these on-trend pieces.
