Kmart’s winter home range is here, and we want the lot

If you’ve ever wished your home felt a little more like a cosy cabin in winter, this is the piece that does it. The Flame Effect Fireplace Heater delivers real warmth up to 1800W, but it’s the realistic LED flame display that people are excited about.

At $20 for a queen/king-sized blanket, this is one of those buys that feels like you’ve gotten away with something. It’s large enough to drape across a bed or wrap around yourself on the couch, and the jacquard weave gives it a texture and structure that look far more expensive than it is. This blanket goes with warm neutrals and earthy tones. Can be washed in the washing machine, making it a practical option to keep your toes warm this winter.

Cold floors are one of winter’s most annoying discomforts, and a rug is one of the most effective and most affordable fixes. The River Rug is 100% cotton, adding real texture and warmth underfoot, and the beige tone works with virtually any colour scheme. 

The heated throw is one of winter’s greatest inventions, and this Sherpa version is no exception. With micro fleece on one side and plush sherpa on the other, it’s genuinely cosy before you even plug it in. Reviewers are calling it the “best blanket ever”, with many praising it for keeping you warm without the dry air that comes from running a heater all evening.

When the temperature really drops, your summer quilt just isn’t going to cut it. This Winter Ultra Warmth Quilt carries a warmth rating of 4, the highest tier, designed specifically for the coldest months. The cotton cover is treated with an anti-bacterial finish, and the whole thing is machine washable. Need we say more?

The Check Teddy Fleece Throw has earned rave reviews for its softness, versatility, and, of course, price. Reviewers describe it as “wonderfully soft,” “perfect for snuggling on the couch,” and “great for gifting.” It’s a smaller throw at 152cm x 127cm, making it ideal for kids, as a couch layer, or as an affordable winter refresh for a bedroom chair. 

Flannelette sheets are one of those things you don’t fully appreciate until you’ve slept in them on a cold night, and then you wonder how you ever managed without them. This Marle Cotton Flannelette Sheet Set is made from 100% cotton with a soft brushed finish. The full set includes a deep-wall fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases, and the sage green tone adds a fresh, earthy touch to your winter bed styling.

Another $10 win, this time in a sage green that’s having a serious moment in home styling right now. The Soft Fleece Blanket covers a queen/king bed at 240cm x 220cm, making it one of the best-value large blankets available anywhere. One reviewer summed it up perfectly: “I have so many of these around my house in various colours. They last ages, wash excellently, and are overall just really great quality.”

Sometimes you don’t need to heat the whole house; just one room will do. The Ceramic Tower Heater does exactly that. Reviewers are particularly fond of it for bathrooms on cold mornings and small bedrooms, with some saying it warms a space efficiently without the long warm-up time of oil heaters.

If you need a heater that runs quietly in the background for hours at a time, an oil heater is the right choice. The 5-fin design heats the oil inside, radiating steady, even warmth across the room rather than blowing hot air around. This Anko oil heater is a great option, especially for the price.

Sliding into a pre-warmed bed on a winter night is one of life’s simple pleasures. This Anko fitted electric blanket is designed to sit directly on your mattress like a fitted sheet; it won’t bunch or slide around, and the dual detachable controllers mean couples can each set their own side to their preferred temperature.

One of the most underrated things you can do for your home in winter is improve the lighting. As the days get shorter and natural light disappears earlier, harsh overhead lighting can make a room feel cold and uninviting, but the warm glow of a bedside or side table lamp can change the entire feel of your home. This 2-pack of Anko touch lamps does exactly that. At $35 for two, they’re the kind of small change that can make a big difference.

Winter is slow cooker season. There’s something deeply satisfying about throwing ingredients in before work and coming home to a house that smells like a lamb stew has been quietly doing its thing all day. This 3-litre ceramic pot slow cooker is the perfect size for households of one to four, with low, high and warm settings that handle everything from soups and curries to casseroles and porridge. With 247 reviews averaging 4.8 stars, this appliance must be doing something right.

Blockout curtains don’t just keep the light out; they act as an insulating barrier between your windows and the room, trapping warmth inside during winter and meaningfully reducing heat loss through glass. The Monaco Blockout Curtain in black is a sleek, versatile choice that suits bedrooms, living rooms and home offices equally well. Reviewers give it 4.9 out of 5, with one buyer describing the blockout effect as “awesome.”
