Like you needed an excuse to do another Kmart order.

1. Jazz up an ottoman

If you've been on TikTok lately you've probably seen this one. Turn this pink storage ottoman into a chic bedside table with nothing but a coat of paint. Add bicarb soda to your paint if you want a cool textured look — full tutorial here.  

2. Make a statement lamp

This lamp has been absolutely hacked to death on Instagram and TikTok, but that's just because it's so damn versatile. Paint it with bicarb soda paint for texture, add a new fabric to the shade, or paint it bright purple as a statement piece.

3. Hide your stinky kitty litter

Turn any cabinet or storage box into a kitty litter hider. Just cut a hole into the side panel, or take it off entirely. If you don't have power tools, you can get a plastic drawer stack and cut into it with a sharp knife.

4. Make your pot plants more interesting

Ever heard of rust paint? It's a quick and easy way to make a simple Kmart pot look like your bought it at some exclusive garden emporium.

5. Add a tabletop to your lounge

Don't have a coffee table? Are you constantly balancing your wine glasses and mugs on the arm of your sofa? Turn a serving tray into a custom lounge table with nothing but a drill.

6. Get inventive with bedroom furniture

As Jess Saolele pointed out in a Kmart lovers Facebook group: Why not use these plant stands as bedside tables? So much more surface area!

7. Don't overlook a dog bed

Turns out a big dog bed and some pillows make for a perfect outdoor couch, especially if you've got a palette or slab to put it on. 

8. Use wallpaper to spruce up old furniture

Did you know that Kmart sells self-adhesive wallpaper? It can be used for so many different things — like reviving an old bookshelf, making your table or desk way more interesting, or just as real wallpaper.

9. Or use it to class-up a shoe cabinet

Use glue, nails or staples to fix the wallpaper sheet in behind the slats of this shoe cabinet.

10. Make donuts in the sausage roll machine

Some genius figured out that you can pour doughnut mix into the Kmart sausage roll maker and get a damn delicious result. You could do something similar in the pie maker too. 

11. Revamp a side table

Make a boring side table way more interesting by just slapping some plaster on it. It's one of the easiest ways to make cheap furniture look like it belongs in an Architecture Digest video. 

12. Then use the same plaster to DIY some modern art

It's so damn easy to make your own modern minimalist art out of a Kmart print or canvas. Just whack some plaster on top and scrape it into a pattern.

13. Take your side tables to a whole new level

This one does need power tools, but the results are pretty damn good. Here's the original table and here's the full tutorial.

Here's a cute hack on Kmart's Hugo side table which is a little more novice-friendly.

15. Aaaaaand here's some inspiration if you don't want to do the whole thing

Can't be bothered adding that dowelling to the whole piece? Just go for an accent drawer and paint the rest.

16. Leave the legs off your cabinets to make a good wall unit

Can't find a wall unit that fits your home? Just get a bunch of Kmart cabinets, leave the legs off, and there you go. Add a lick of paint to match them to your living room decor.

17. Make a terrarium from a lamp

Kmart's glass base lamp can be turned very easily into a cute little terrarium — and the lamp still works! That particular lamp isn't in stock right now but you can find alternatives. 

18. Elevate your photo game

Don't take pictures on ugly white backgrounds for a second longer! A TikTok user realised you can use the Kmart cardstock as a staging tool for photos, particularly good if you've got a small business!

19. Display your plant collection

If you've got lightweight pots and hanging plants, Kmart's coat/hat hooks are actually a kind of brilliant way to display them.

20. Turn an ottoman into a functional table

Kmart's round serving trays are the perfect way to add a stable surface to a regular ottoman.

21. And finally, combine the tray with a wire stand

The same serving platter can be painted and glued to a Kmart plant stand to make a cute end table for your hallway or living room.
