What’s really exciting is that these are not low-quality copies but interesting pieces, and great examples of design in their own right. It’s easy to be a snob about design, but beautiful stuff can be found here; and what’s great is that (like many chainstores) Kmart is quick to react to trends and collections ahead of the realization that they’re exactly what your home needs at that moment in time.
Best for tableware, baskets, lighting, furniture, (plates, bowls, desk lamps, chairs, ottomans, stools,), planters to bowls, cannisters, tea towels, pillowslips, and throw rugs. All in classic materials (cotton, concrete, ceramic, metal, timber, leather, cork and glass).
The fusion of fashion, homeware and good living is a heady one. Beware…you’ll want everything. Autumn 2018 is shaping up as Kmart’s best season yet.
