Inside Kmart Australia’s surprise new home collection – and the $39 item set to be the ‘buy of the season’
Kmart Australia is set to launch one of its most trend-led home collections yet, with the upcoming August Living range packed with vibrant colours, versatile staples, rich timbers and cosy hero pieces.
Due to launch in-store and online from Thursday July 24th, the playful collection has been designed to ‘inspire creativity and self-expression in every space’.
Every piece has been developed by the store’s in-house design team in Melbourne and reflects some of the season’s hottest trends including sage items, statement ceramics and handy kitchen gadgets.
Among the must-haves is the gorgeous new Charles Side Table ($39) which boasts round feet and a minimalist wooden finish; a similar version sells on Temple & Webster for $599.
The Nate Rage, which includes the Charles Side Table, has now been extended and reimagined in black, too, with slatted panelling and lozenge shapes.
Other items likely to sell out fast include the Wave Bedhead ($139), Como Chenille Lounge Chair ($169) and the Mali Lounge Chair ($179).
These are a major highlight this season, in addition to exciting new innovations like compressed lounge chairs that expand to full size and a cohesive aesthetic across colours, shapes and finishes.
In addition to the sage and tan aesthetic are a range of striped items, which remain a key motif throughout the collection.
