As the winter chill settles in across Australia, there’s nothing quite like retreating to a warm, inviting home.
And if you’re looking to give your living space a seasonal refresh without breaking the bank, Bunnings’ latest winter homewares range might be just what you need.
With prices starting at a wallet-friendly $11.99, this collection is already causing a stir among shoppers—and for good reason.
A winter wonderland for every room (and every budget)
Bunnings has long been a go-to for DIY enthusiasts and green thumbs, but in recent years, their homewares have quietly become a favourite for those seeking affordable style.
This winter, the hardware giant has outdone itself, launching a range that combines plush textures, rich colours, and practical pieces designed to make your home feel like a cosy sanctuary.
The collection kicks off with adorable quilted dog vests from just $11.99—perfect for keeping your furry friend snug on those frosty morning walks.
For the humans, there’s a stunning array of cushions at $12.95 each, available in five tactile styles: rib, waffle, tufted, velvet, and loop (which gives a trendy boucle effect).
The colour palette is equally inviting, with shades of blue, green, rose, raisin, cream, and white, making it easy to mix, match, and layer to your heart’s content.
Layer up: Throws, rugs, and more
Nothing says winter comfort like a soft throw, and Bunnings’ new range doesn’t disappoint. Waffle and velvet throws are available for $22.95, in hues that complement the cushion collection.
Whether you’re curling up with a good book or adding a splash of colour to your sofa, these throws are a simple way to update your space for the season.
Floor coverings are another winter essential, especially for homes with hard floors. The new rug collection starts at $29 for a runner and goes up to $149 for a generously sized 200cm x 300cm rug.
Not only do rugs add warmth underfoot, but they also help insulate your home and create a sense of cosiness that’s perfect for winter.
Let there be (warm) light
Lighting can make or break the mood of a room, and Bunnings’ winter range includes two new lamps that promise to transform your space.
The brushed bronze table lamp ($49.90) and matching floor lamp ($99.90) offer soft, ambient glows and sculptural forms that bring both warmth and style.
As Bunnings’ design and trend manager Jane Wright puts it, ‘Even the smallest switch can create a sense of calm and comfort through the cooler months.’
Smart storage and stylish planters
Clutter can quickly undo the calming effect of a well-styled room, so Bunnings has included two new Flexi storage units in walnut finishes: a four-tier vertical shelf ($49) and a three-tier horizontal shelf ($59). These are ideal for displaying books, plants, or your favourite winter knick-knacks.
Speaking of plants, the new rattan planters (from $12.95 to $28.95) come in three sizes and a choice of natural, green, or cream.
They’re not just for greenery, either—use them as chic storage baskets for throws, magazines, or even as a catch-all for winter accessories.
Don’t forget your pets!
Our four-legged family members deserve a little winter luxury, too. The collection features new pet beds ($19.98–$34.98) and vests in quilted and cable knit designs ($8.99–$11.99), all designed to blend seamlessly with your home’s décor.
How to style your winter home on a budget
Jane Wright offers some expert advice: ‘This season, it’s all about expressive layering. Rich, inviting colour tones and cosy textures make cushions and throws one of the easiest—and most affordable—ways to refresh your home.
Layer soft knits with woven textures, and don’t be afraid to play with scale. Whether draped over a sofa or stacked on a bed, these pieces add instant personality and bring any room to life.’
Why Bunnings’ homewares are a hit with over-50s
For many Australians over 50, comfort, practicality, and value are top priorities when it comes to home décor.
Bunnings’ winter range ticks all the boxes, offering quality pieces that are easy to mix and match, simple to care for, and gentle on the hip pocket.
Plus, with so many options for layering and personalising your space, it’s easy to create a home that feels uniquely yours.
