We just love staging our homes for sale, which is a complimentary part of our service! Not only does staging make the photos pop, but it really does help to sell your home quicker and for more! Some homes need a little staging help & some need a lot, and that’s ok! We have all of the soft furnishings such as cushions, throws, greenery, artwork and the like to make your home look amazing and stand out from the crowd.
We are always updating our supplies, much of which comes from good old Kmart!
Coming in to Autumn, I have really gravitated towards more earthy and warm tones and Kmart has once again come to the party. I absolutely love their autumn colours of rust, olive, terracotta and burgundy that you can find in a range of new cushions, throws and artwork in store. I have been using these tones in our homes for sale recently and they look so cosy & inviting but still fresh and modern!
Here are some of my top picks from Kmart that you can find in store right now!
CUSHIONS
The Sloan Cushion

The sloan cushion ($12) above has the most eclectic mix of colours perfect for Autumn. I love mixing this one up with unexpected colours like olive and rust and throwing in some textured navy & Beige patterned cushions for good measure. You will find all of these styles of cushions at Kmart and they range in price from just $8 to $12.
The Imari Cushion

Windsor Cushion

The Windsor Cushion is a beautiful velvet-like material in the shade rose with a white backing. It’s such a cute little piece that can be added to almost any surface or piece of furniture and provides a point of difference from your typical square shaped cushions. While it’s not traditionally an autumn-themed cushion, it certainly adds a subtle vibrancy and textural interest that will make your home space pop. Plus it’s available in-store and online HALF PRICE for only $4 – such great value.
Hot tip: While we are on the topic of cushions, a good tip is to really layer your cushions of different sizes and shapes and use different textures such as boucle and velvet. It helps to give the space dimension and really creates a cosy, inviting ambiance. Just have fun playing around and mixing your cushions up in unexpected ways. You will be surprised what colour combinations and patterns can actually work well together.
THROW
Autumn is definitely the time to add a throw rug or two to the lounge. It’s not only cosy, but adds a pop of colour, texture and interest.
The Lyla Throw

I love this olive throw, the Lyla throw which retails at just $12 and blends in perfectly with all of their autumn cushions!
Hot tip: When adding a throw on a bed, couch or occasion chair, ‘throwing’ the throw rather than neatly placing it will provide the cosy, textural, pinterest-worthy look you’re trying to achieve!
WALL ARTWORK
It’s amazing how much difference even just one wall artwork piece can make in a home. Artwork can provide a little extra texture and pop of colour to compliment your furniture and decor.
Warm Leaf Framed Canvas

This warm leaf framed canvas uses the most appealing autumn colours adding warmth to whatever wall you use it on. It works equally well in a bedroom as it does in a living space. Retailing at just $19, it’s a steal!
Floral Watercolour Framed Canvas
View product online here
I love the use of burgundy in this print, another colour tone making a comeback for Autumn. The soft green keeps it fresh and at just $19, it is a no brainer.
Hot Tip: Hang your wall art off-centre to the main focal point of your room, such as the bed or dining table. Hanging it off-centre will provide a stronger emphasis to the artwork, making it stand out and give a real “wow” factor appeal!
