Transform Your Living Room with This Genius Kmart Side Table Trick for Just $16!

As we all know, a touch of creativity can go a long way, especially when it comes to home decor. And for those of us who love a good bargain and a DIY project, Kmart has become a treasure trove of possibilities. It's not just about what the products are intended for, but what they could be with a little imagination. That's exactly what one clever Kmart shopper demonstrated with a 'clever' DIY side table hack that has taken social media by storm.

The savvy shopper shared her innovative idea in a popular Facebook group, igniting the interest of fellow Kmart enthusiasts. Her creation? A stylish and practical side table made by combining two affordable items: Kmart’s $20 38cm Linear Plastic Pot and the $16 Large Acacia Round Serving Tray. The result is a chic piece of furniture that not only adds a touch of elegance to her living space but also cleverly doubles as storage for blankets and throws.


The process is delightfully simple: the tray is placed neatly on top of the pot, which is available in both sage and white, creating an instant side table. The poster showcased her new furniture piece adorned with a diffuser and a plant, proving that style doesn't have to be sacrificed for functionality.

The beauty of this hack lies in its versatility. Other shoppers chimed in with their praise and questions, with one curious about whether the tray needed to be glued to the pot. The original poster was reassured that it sat snugly on top without any adhesive, allowing for easy access to storage.


However, not all experiences were the same. Another user shared their modification to the hack, drilling pieces of wood into the bottom of the tray for added sturdiness. This tweak was a response to the pot's flexibility, which could cause the tray to fall in if bumped – a lesson learned the hard way when a coffee spill incident occurred.

The side table hack didn't just make waves on Facebook; it also went viral on TikTok. Pro-cleaner Ange McKenzie (@_ange_mckenzie_) shared a video that garnered almost 400,000 views, where she praised the hack for its hidden storage capabilities. Her followers were quick to express their admiration, calling the hack 'so cute' and 'so clever,' with many inspired to try it out themselves.

The hack's appeal is its simplicity and effectiveness, with potential uses ranging from hiding toys to serving as a neat bedside table. It's a testament to the fact that with a bit of ingenuity, you can transform your living space without breaking the bank.
