The new Kmart home and living products everyone is talking about in 2025
If there's one thing you can be sure of at Kmart – apart from the fun products at bargain prices – it's that there's always something new arriving in store and online.
Among those fresh products are the stylish, handy and game-changing buys that get everyone talking on and off social media.
Here are the viral products getting huge buzz so far in 2025.
Strawberry and cherry mugs: $5 each
A cute design and a bargain price had shoppers snapping these mugs up as soon as they went on shelves.
The product has gone viral on social media, with customers sharing videos of it in store and at home.
When people found out about the product, they 'ran' to stores to pick up one or a few.
"i don't need anymore mugs like at all but you best believe i'm getting at least 2 of those," a woman commented on a TikTok.
"Immediately running to Kmart omg!!!" a shopper said.
"I need that cherry one and I don't even like cherries," another wrote.
Dust slippers: $6
The "perfect shoes" do exist and they're at Kmart, according to one shopper.
However, the $6 buy isn't found in the shoe section of the store or designed to wear outside but for cleaning.
A woman named Dani showed off the dust slippers in an Instagram reel and praised them for their "functionality".
Those who watched the clip were equally impressed and keen to pick some up next time they're at the shops, if they hadn't bought them already.
"You influenced me…..getting a pair just for fun lol," a woman commented.
"Omg stop! I need," one wrote.
"Yes i got them too!!!" a shopper said.
"The fact they are Velcro and you can throw in the wash… buyingg!!" another posted.
Como chenille lounge chair: $169
Kmart has become known for its stylish and on-trend armchairs over the years but the Como chenille lounge chair could be the most comfortable yet.
The chair has barely touched the ground in stores and shoppers are already snapping them up to add to their homes.
There has been so much interest in the $169 chair that shopper Rochelle Hill has posted multiple TikToks responding to various questions about it.
Her first has had more than 870,000 views in three days and was captioned; "Obsesseddddd @kmart australia Called Como Chenille Lounge Chair".
"Run to Kmart for this latest release," the text on the video read.
Kmart electric fireplace heater: $79
Electric heaters are a must for many during winter but most don't tend to have the charming look of a fireplace.
A Kmart buy is proving a hit with shoppers for combining the warmth of a heater with the cute design details of a fireplace without the hassle of wood and smoke.
Shopper Pheebs purchased the $79 electric fireplace heater for her cabin upgrade and found it was the perfect addition for winter.
"Crafty cabin upgrade; winter edition! Picked up this adorable faux fire place heater and it's added such cute ambiance to the place," she captioned a TikTok video.
Aussies agreed in the comment section of Pheebs' TikTok that the faux-fireplace adds both cosy vibes and warmth to homes.
"iv had this heater for almost 2 winters now and I cannot recommend it enough! I've never had to use the high setting it's so good on power aswell!" one said.
"I have one, a little bigger. I absolutely love it. never put the heat on, just the fire bit. sooooo cozy," a woman commented.
Clean/dirty dishwasher magnet: $3
The clean/dirty dishwasher magnet is a simple way to let everyone in the house know what state the dishes in the dishwasher are in.
It's that very function that has sparked quite the debate over whether such a product is even necessary with two clear arguments emerging on social media.
For Michelle, who posted about the product on Instagram, the clean/dirty magnet is a "game changer for our household".
Plenty agreed but many others didn't.
"Just open it and look," one said.
"If the dishwasher is finished and cleaned then just empty it. Why do you need a sign," another wondered.
"We have had one for a year and it's great. We put it half way when it's running otherwise it kept getting opened mid cycle!" a woman wrote.
"Best thing ever love ours," commented another.
Tall Artificial Fiddle Leaf Fig: $49
Whether you struggle to keep plants alive or want the look of a large plant that's low-maintenance, Kmart has got you covered with a new range of tall faux plants.
Faux plants available in the tall size include fiddle leaf fig, monstera or palm artifical plants.
And if you want the artifical plant to look more real Kmart fan Tiff shared a brilliant styling idea on TikTok by putting the Kmart plant in a plant pot and covering the top with moss.
The comment section of Tiff's video had plenty of questions about where to find the product with many Kmart stores sold out.
5 Tier Collapsible Shoe Box: $29
For shoe collectors or anyone who just wants to keep their footwear neat, tidy and in good condition, the 5 tier collapsible shoe box from Kmart is getting lots of buzz.
Shoppers have been showing how they used the product in Facebook groups like Kmart Home Decor & Hacks Australia, prompting hundreds of comments.
"That looks great and so tidy!!!" a woman wrote.
"I need this in my life," one said.
"Thanks for the inspo ! I have so manyyyyyy shoes this looks awesome," another commented.
"Ohh I like this idea - to keep spiders out," a woman posted.
"I brought these. I love them," said Kmart shopper.
If you don't need to store shoes, one member of the Facebook group suggested this would be good for storing yarn.
Toilet Roll Dispenser: $15
Storage for toilet paper is a common problem so this quirky gadget has been proving quite popular.
Kmart fan and DIYer Dina decided to tweak the product by giving it a makeover with white spray paint to match the aesthetic of her toilet room.
"Well I finally gave in and did what hubby requested lol and put toilet paper rolls inside of our downstairs toilet. I had the rolls just outside of the toilet in my laundry in a basket but hubby was not a fan... Nothing fancy but happy with the outcome," she captioned an Instagram reel.

Toilet Roll Dispenser: $15
The makeover and product was a hit with Dina's followers.
"Love that it has a little shelf on top. I wonder why they didn't make it in white?" a woman said.
"I might have to do this too. Ours is also on the outside of the toilet because I really wasn't a fan having it next to. But this looks great," commented one.
"Love the convenience of a shelf on top for sprays," a Kmart shopper said.
Though some could see a downside to the openness of the unit.
"My boys would pee on that," a mum laughed.
"Great idea but not so good when you have males and young ones who might misjudge that toilet bowl," one said.
"I rather keep my spare ones in the cupboard dust free," another posted.
