Kmart has officially launched its most extensive homewares collection to date, sending budget-conscious shoppers into a home refresh spiral. The February Living range, now available in stores and online, represents the retailer's largest-ever homewares release and is already proving a massive hit with Australian consumers.
Aesthetic Aligned With Australian Tastes
The comprehensive collection spans furniture, decor, bedding, kitchenware, and cleaning essentials, with entry prices beginning at just $1.75. Kmart has carefully curated this release to align with the aesthetic preferences Australians have been quietly embracing throughout recent seasons.
The collection leans heavily into warmer neutrals, chocolate browns, muted greens, serene blues, and sculptural shapes that feel elevated without tipping into luxury pricing. This timing proves particularly strategic, arriving as many households plan their January reset and contemplate home updates for the year ahead.
Bargain Buys Under $10 Steal The Show
Remarkably, some of the most popular items in the entire collection come with price tags under $10, making home refreshment accessible to virtually every budget. Kmart buyer Sarah Dummett revealed her personal enthusiasm for these affordable finds.
'Even as a buyer I still have my own list of items I can't wait to add to my home from the range,' Dummett explained. 'Some of my favourites are the small items that can really refresh a space without breaking the bank.'
Among the standout budget-friendly pieces are stripe mugs priced at $5 and coordinating hand towels for $6, which add a retro feel to any home. The chrome look vase at $10 provides a pop of disco-inspired glamour, while the green glass trinket box ($6) and pistachio glass candle ($7) work beautifully together to introduce subtle colour accents to dining or bedroom spaces.
Mediterranean-Inspired Dining Range
One of the most visually striking elements of the collection is undoubtedly the Mediterranean-inspired dining range, perfectly timed for summer hosting and long lunches. This section channels Capri-in-summertime energy through bowls and plates decorated with tomatoes, lemons, chillies, olives, sardines, and pasta motifs.
Sets of four pieces retail for $12, with coordinating placemats available for $3, cushion covers at $7, and novelty tomato-shaped salt and pepper shakers priced at $6. While ideal for summer entertaining, the range maintains year-round appeal, particularly for Australians dreaming of European summers.
Candles, Chrome, And Viral Lighting
Kmart has significantly expanded its candle offerings within this collection, introducing new ranges featuring glass vessels from $7 and novelty ceramic candles scented like sweet caramel popcorn and vanilla ice cream for $13.
Meanwhile, the retailer's already cult-favourite Nico Portable Rechargeable Lamp returns in trending new colourways including chocolate, pink, blue, and berry, each priced at $19. This product taps into the broader interior design shift toward chrome finishes and richer tones, offering an affordable way to experiment with colour without committing to expensive furniture purchases.
Practical Upgrades Meet Design Trends
Beyond purely aesthetic considerations, the collection includes genuinely useful products designed to enhance daily living. The new Multi Head Spin Mop, priced at $50, features dual mop heads for extra shine and represents a smarter, more efficient cleaning essential.
In the bedroom category, the Reversible Linen Quilt Cover Set at $62 embraces the enduring stripes trend, launching in Tan and White, Lilac and Green, and Blue stripe combinations. This signals that classic patterns with modern colour twists continue to dominate home styling preferences.
Luxury Looks At Accessible Prices
For those pursuing high-end bedroom aesthetics without the corresponding price tag, the new Claire Marble-Look Bedside Table offers a compelling solution at $65. Featuring a marble-look top, walnut-style ribbed detailing, and a streamlined silhouette, this piece mirrors far more expensive designer items.
This product exemplifies a broader trend Kmart is embracing: creating furniture that mimics premium materials like marble, walnut, and velvet at prices accessible to renters, first-home buyers, and anyone redecorating without a renovation budget.
The Tipped-To-Sell-Out Goldie Lounge Chair
Perhaps the breakout star of the entire collection is the Goldie Lounge Chair, priced at $155. This softly distressed beige chair is already being touted as the next major Kmart furniture obsession, following in the footsteps of last year's viral Chenille Como expandable chair that repeatedly sold out after social media exposure.
Described as a 'goes-with-everything' hero piece, the chair features textured fabric, a relaxed silhouette, and a warm neutral tone designed to work across minimalist apartments, cosy family homes, and modern rental spaces.
Kmart buyer Nicholas Holmes noted that early interest suggests the Goldie could become one of the year's biggest sell-outs. 'The chair of the season last year flew off the shelves and took social media by storm,' Holmes observed. 'This year, we're tipping the Goldie chair to be one of the standout pieces of the range.'
Interior experts suggest the chair taps directly into the growing appetite for softer, grounding interiors—a distinct shift away from stark minimalism toward warmer, more comforting spaces that feel lived-in rather than showroom-perfect.
With its combination of trend-aligned aesthetics, practical upgrades, and accessible pricing across hundreds of new products, Kmart's February Living collection represents more than just another seasonal launch—it's a comprehensive home refresh solution arriving at precisely the right moment for Australian households.
