Australian Homeware Brands to Shop From Overseas
Australian homeware is worth browsing if you like relaxed interiors, natural textures, coastal colours, linen bedding, bold prints or practical everyday home goods. The challenge for international shoppers is that homeware can be fragile, bulky or expensive to ship, so the best purchases are usually smaller, lighter or high-value enough to justify forwarding.
Below are Australian homeware brands and stores to explore before using a forwarding address.
1. Country Road
Country Road is known for clothing, accessories and home, but its homeware range is often a strong place to start. Shoppers look for towels, bedding, tableware, cushions and simple decor.
Soft goods such as towels and bedding are usually easier to forward than ceramics or glassware.
2. Adairs
Adairs is one of Australia's best-known homeware retailers, covering bedding, towels, cushions, throws, kids' decor and home accessories.
Bedding and textiles can make sense for forwarding. Large quilts, rugs or heavy decor pieces should be checked carefully for size and shipping cost.
3. Sheridan
Sheridan is known for premium bedding, towels and bath products. It is a good option if you are looking for high-quality Australian bed linen or gifts.
Towels and bedding can be bulky but not always fragile, so they are often safer than glass or ceramic homewares.
4. Bed Threads
Bed Threads is popular for linen bedding, sleepwear and home pieces. It is a good brand to explore if you want a natural, relaxed Australian interiors look.
Linen can be practical to ship, but check package size if buying full bedding sets.
5. Kip&Co
Kip&Co is known for colourful bedding, kids' homewares, towels and playful prints. It is useful if you want distinctive Australian home style rather than plain basics.
Because prints and seasonal ranges can sell out, make sure the order is correct before forwarding.
6. Sage x Clare
Sage x Clare offers colourful, bohemian-inspired homewares, bedding, cushions and decor. It is a good fit for shoppers looking for bold colours and handcrafted-looking pieces.
Cushions, throws and textiles are usually easier than breakable decor, but bulky items may still affect volumetric weight.
7. Dinosaur Designs
Dinosaur Designs is known for resin homewares, jewellery and decorative pieces. Bowls, vases and tableware can be beautiful gifts, but they may need careful handling.
Fragile or decorative pieces should be forwarded only if you are comfortable with the risk and packaging requirements.
8. Temple & Webster
Temple & Webster is a large online destination for furniture, homewares and decor. It is useful for browsing, but not every item is practical for international forwarding.
Smaller decor pieces may work. Furniture, rugs and large lighting can be expensive or unsuitable to ship internationally.
9. Freedom
Freedom sells furniture, decor, bedding, cushions, lighting and home accessories. Like Temple & Webster, it is best approached selectively if you are shopping from overseas.
Focus on smaller home pieces or soft goods. Large furniture is usually not a good forwarding category.
10. Kmart Australia
Kmart Australia is popular for affordable homewares, storage, kitchen items and decor. It can be tempting for overseas shoppers because prices are low.
Low item prices do not always mean good value once international shipping is added. Kmart is best for lightweight, compact items rather than bulky goods.
What homeware is best to forward?
The most practical homeware items for forwarding are usually:
- bedding
- towels
- cushion covers
- small decor pieces
- table linen
- lightweight gifts
- compact storage items
- non-fragile kitchen accessories
Be more cautious with:
- glassware
- ceramics
- mirrors

- framed art
How Jetkrate helps
Jetkrate gives overseas shoppers an Australian forwarding address for eligible purchases. You can shop from Australian homeware stores, send orders to your Jetkrate address and then arrange international forwarding.
Before buying homeware from Australia, check size, weight, fragility, destination import rules and whether the total landed cost still makes sense. Consolidation may help if you are buying several smaller items, but fragile items may need extra caution.
Final word
Australian homeware can be worth forwarding when the item is distinctive, lightweight or hard to find locally. Country Road, Adairs, Sheridan, Bed Threads, Kip&Co, Sage x Clare, Dinosaur Designs, Temple & Webster, Freedom and Kmart all offer different styles and price points. The best approach is to buy selectively and avoid items that are too large, fragile or low-value to justify international shipping.
