Next time you want to add a pop of colour to your home, take inspiration from DIY enthusiast Brandi Love‘s kmart bench hack transformation.
The Toowoomba mother of three created a rainbow mudroom for her children’s playroom using washi tape, a Kmart bench and a piece of pegboard from Bunnings.
“I wanted to create a fun and colourful space for the kids of their own where they could play, craft or relax,” she said.
The vibrant space features a rainbow-striped pegboard for storage and display, along with a reupholstered bench seat from Kmart.
“I follow a lot of boards on Pinterest that had pieces of furniture that made a statement and I really wanted to reinvent that in my home,” Brandi explains.
“Money was tight at that time and I had some Flybuy money banked up so I thought I’d check out Kmart. As soon as I saw the bench seat I knew exactly what I was going to do with it,” she says.
Brandi covered the $45 Kmart bench seat in a vibrant print fabric, using a staple gun to hold it in place. She used two $6 tubes of washi tape from Kmart to create the rainbow pattern on the board.
“I’m drawn to items that make people go WOW! I love colour and patterns and seeing how I can bring them all together,” she says.
The creative space was praised on the Kmart Mums Facebook page.
“What a happy space,” one mum commented.
“Love this, you’ve totally made it your own,” said another.
