If your idea of heaven is a Kmart shopping spree with an unlimited budget (hello, beauty dupes and random kitchen gadgets), and you love browsing at places like TK Maxx and Costco (who doesn't love a bargain?!), this one's for you.

Retail giant Kmart is opening its very first dedicated homewares outlet right here in Melbourne, and it's going to be huge. Launching on June 18 in Box Hill South, the 3,800-square-metre store is set to rival the likes of Ikea, Amart Furniture and Freedom.

The layout will adopt a similar showroom experience to its competitors, featuring an extended range of its budget-friendly Anko home-brand furniture, storage and decor products – all displayed in stylised room settings.

From couches and mattresses to shelving units and bookcases, K Home will largely stock big-ticket items you won’t find in a regular Kmart store. In the past, these bulkier items have been online exclusives – but the new outlet changes the game, allowing you to see how they look in real life while serving up plenty of home styling inspo along the way.

Of course, Kmart is staying true to its “Low prices for life” promise. Affordability will remain at the core of its new offering, proving that you never have to sacrifice style to be savvy. K Home will officially open at Box Hill South in the city’s east on Thursday, June 18.
