And the best ‘Glow Up’ award for 2020 goes to……
Coffee.
You may have heard of the viral trend that made it into our homes at the beginning of the year, which was Dalgona coffee or whipped coffee. It gave instant coffee a much needed glow up by whipping it with equal parts sugar and water, then spooning the delicious foam over milk.
Now, coffee has done it again. This time, changing the way we store it in our home. Gone are the days we hide our coffee (and tea) in our pantry. Trendsetters on the Facebook Kmart Hack pages have found a new solution to social distancing, by bringing Café vibes into our homes and displaying our coffee in these trendy new ways.
As the remaining year levels go back to school across Australia this week, grab that cuppa, put up your feet and take a moment to read how you can style your kitchen with these Top 15 Kmart Coffee Station Hacks.
Hack #1 Rectangle Wall Shelf
These rectangle wall shelves are the perfect size for kitchen bench tops. They can be used horizontal or vertical to suit the space! Ideal for displaying canisters and your favourite mugs.

Hack #2 Vinyl is your friend!
Personalise your rectangle shelf with adhesive vinyl. Kmart have a great variety of colours and patterns for $3 each. This Kmart lover used craft scrapbook paper as an alternative to the vinyl, which is perfect for when you want to easily switch up your colour scheme to suit the seasons or your mood!

Hack #14 Greenery without the effort of watering
Add some fake plants to create pops of colour in those high to reach areas to get that greenery without the guilt of forgetting to water them (surely I’m not the only one).
