1. Room screen bedhead hack
Struggling to find a bedhead for her super-king size bed, Ceryce had this bright idea! She took 2 Kmart room screens, removed the ends and popped them together to create this fabulous new look! So creative and clever!
2. Placemat and bath mat cushions
Who would have thought you could get such great results from using placemats and bath mats (yes, bath mats!) to make cushions?! Renee is the clever mind behind this Kmart hack, taking 2 jute placemats and 2 bath mats and turning them into these fab looking cushions.
3. Stylish bookcase makeover
We love this one! Simone has taken the Kmart storage bookshelf and given it a complete transformation. She has how-to instructions on her Instagram page to show you how she made this unique piece of furniture.
4. Sideboard turned kitchen cabinets
Wow! There are some seriously creative thinkers out there! We love this idea of using the already fabulous Kmart rattan sideboard, and using them as cabinetry for the kitchen! A great way to breathe a bit of new life into a tired space with this on-trend look.
5. Chalk-painted vases
One of our fave ever DIYers, Geneva from Collective Gen, recently shared an amazing chalk paint. She has inspired SO many people to take old (or in this case, new!) vases and pots they love the shape of but not so much the colour, and give them a new lease on life.
Just like Lauren who took this trio of Kmart vases and painted them to suit her colour scheme. So pretty!
6. Canister lid turned draw handles
Have you ever thought about using canister lids as draw handles?! No, us either! But the ever so clever Pheonix Project team did, and the results are brilliant!
7. Rattan sideboard upgrade
Dani has taken the gorge Kmart rattan sideboard to a whole other level (literally) with this clever hack. She added a second one on top to create this beautiful piece with ample storage and all the style.
8. Arch mirror makeover
We know paint doesn’t really make it a hack, but when a paint job is this pretty, we’ll allow it! Ashlee has given the Kmart arch mirror a stunning makeover, using brass-look paint to match her dreamy interior style. Swoon!
9. Round hanging shelf gets an upgrade
The Kmart round hanging shelf has been around for a while now and we’ve seen it featured in plenty of clever hacks. This one from Lauren really caught our attention with her addition of a rattan backing.
Hanging in her daughters room, we think it adds a beautiful boho touch to an otherwise simple Kmart shelf. Love it!
10. Hanging pendant lights
Basket pendant lights are popping up everywhere, and along with it comes plenty of DIY hacks! Nicole has taken the base of the Kmart rattan table lamp and turned it into this fabulous hanging pendant! She shares tips, tricks and how to’s over on her Instagram page the.elanora.
11. Dinosaur draw pulls
Stylish door pulls can cost a fortune but Erin has found an affordable solution for her dino-mad child. Some simple spray paint, a packet of Kmart dinosaur figurines and you’ve officially won the best parent of the year award!
12. Serving board side table
Using a wooden serving tray and readjusting the legs to fit your couch arm, and voila! You have the perfect side table for coffee, tea, chocolate, or wine 😉 .
13. Rattan planter becomes a dolls bed
The boho style is more popular than ever — and this extends to children’s bedrooms. Chantelle, the talent behind Olive and Miles, has created a sweet boho-inspired doll bed using the Kmart planter. Too cute (and she has an Etsy store, too!)
14. Total sideboard transformation
Taking two Kmart sideboards and doing some serious hacking (pun totally intended) Clare has created a custom piece of furniture. If this look is your vibe, she’s even created a handy how-to YouTube video.
15. Room divider to on-trend bedhead
Curved, rattan-style bedheads are everywhere at the moment, and some come with quite the price tag. If this is your dream style, why not take a tip from Janika who took the Kmart room divider, and simply placed it behind a bed to create a stylish new bedhead!
16. Hessian table runner pendant light
Who knew a hessian table runner could create something this cool?! Interiors lover Natalie got handy with her plain black pendant light and turned it into a real statement piece using the Kmart hessian table runner. A clever and very cost effective hack!
17. A coat of paint to the rattan cabinet
We love the impact of black and Jen has given the Kmart rattan cabinet a luxe makeover with just a simple coat of paint. Don’t act like you’re not impressed (and kinda inspired!).
18. Toy box upgrade
Carlie took this simple Kmart toy box and made it loads more fun with a padded top and personalised name. She even used a Kmart single bed underlay to create the padding and the Kmart hot glue gun to fix it all in place!
19. Flower wall decor
Shon took the Kmart paper flowers from the party section and added them to her daughter’s bedroom wall. We love this simple but sweet (and super cost effective!) wall art idea!
20. Toy wooden camera makeover
Not so much a hack as a makeover, but this is one we really loved. This toy wooden camera is cute already, but just look how great Lucia has made it for her little man, Luca?! We love the neutral boho tones!
