The 'elegant' $17 product from Kmart Australia shoppers are rushing to buy: 'I need this'
Customers are marvelling over an 'adorable' $17 lamp from Kmart Australia to spruce up home corners and hallways. The Olivia Glass Portable Rechargeable Lamp has stunned thousands across the country for its 'elegant' design. One woman from Melbourne bought the lamp to brighten her dark hallway and was pleasantly surprised by how much light the small product provides. 'To be honest I wasn't expecting these lamps to work so well. The front part of the hallway is really dark, and can be really dark during the day in winter as well,' she wrote on Facebook. 'I thought I'd give the lamps a try and wow, I love them.' Kmart also shared a short video boasting about the latest product, which has three brightness levels, a push button switch and is lightweight. 'Light up your space with this Kmart Find. This $17 Olivia glass lamp brings the perfect glow, whether you're reading, chilling, or just avoiding the big light,' the caption read. The lamp provides warm, ambient lighting and can operate for six hours once fully charged. The Olivia Glass Portable Rechargeable Lamp from Kmart Australia has stunned thousands across the country for its elegant design Other shoppers who have bought the lamp praised it on Facebook while others felt encouraged to buy it. 'Love my mine also. I have one on in my foyer and two on my piano. It's great have three brightness options,' one wrote. 'Well now I want these,' another admitted. 'So pretty and calming,' a third added. Earlier this year Kmart released another rechargeable lamp which sent Aussies into a spin thanks to the 'luxurious' glow it gives their homes. Jess Fussell, from Perth, recently purchased the trendy buy to liven up her common room. 'The $17 lamp from Kmart that every girly home needs,' she said. Jess also bought her coffee table books and various other pieces of home decor from the bargain retailer. 'Kmart is really elite at serving affordable decor finds.' Sydney-based interior designer Emma Bloomfield previously told FEMAIL that layered lighting adds a touch of softness to create a dynamic room. She recommended choosing a combination of lamps, pendant lights, and sconces instead of harsh overhead tube lights. Swapping out hard white lights for warm bulbs and moving over to dimmable switches that you can tailor to your mood will help you have more control over the functionality and feel of the room. Kmart's portable touch lamp is perfect to add dimension to any room - and the low price means you can buy multiple to place around the house for a coherent look. The lamp is only available in a gold tone at the moment but shoppers are itching for Kmart to release other colours. 'I love it! I really want a chrome silver one of these,' one said online about the touch lamp. 'Stunning - I need it in my kitchen,' another said. Another option is the Elly table lamp which looks like it came straight out of a time capsule from the 1970s with its pleated lamp shade and sage green stand. The Scandinavian inspired lamp, which is just $15, has been described as being perfect for living spaces and bedrooms. An online vintage decor store is selling a similar lamp, they claim to be from the late 70s early 80s, for $1027. The table lamp was designed by Poul Seest Andersen and manufactured by Le Klint and Holmegaard in Denmark and is 40cm tall from the base to the top of the shade. The vintage lamp is an eggshell white finish. Similar, new lamps are available online at European stores for around $300 AUD.
