Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Nature of Business — Kirkland’s, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a specialty retailer of home décor and furnishings in the United States operating 343 stores in 35 states as of April 29, 2023 , as well as an e-commerce website, www.kirklands.com, under the Kirkland’s Home brand. Principles of consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Kirkland’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kirkland’s Stores, Inc., Kirkland’s DC, Inc., and Kirkland’s Texas, LLC. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Basis of presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and pursuant to the reporting and disclosure rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 4, 2023. Seasonality — The results of the Company’s operations for the 13-week period ended April 29, 2023 are not indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality factors. Fiscal year — The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31, resulting in years of either 52 or 53 weeks. Accordingly, fiscal 2023 represents the 53 weeks ending on February 3, 2024 and fiscal 2022 represents the 52 weeks ended on January 28, 2023 . Use of estimates — The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than those at fiscal year-end. Changes in estimates are recognized in the period when new information becomes available to management. Areas where the nature of the estimate makes it reasonably possible that actual results could materially differ from amounts estimated include, but are not limited to, impairment assessments on long-lived assets, inventory reserves, self-insurance reserves and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Note 2 – Revenue Recognition Net sales — Net sales includes the sale of merchandise, net of returns, shipping revenue, gift card breakage revenue and revenue earned from our private label credit card program and excludes sales taxes. Sales returns reserve — The Company reduces net sales and estimates a liability for sales returns based on historical return trends, and the Company believes that its estimate for sales returns is a reasonably accurate reflection of future returns associated with past sales. However, as with any estimate, refund activity may vary from estimated amounts. The Company had a liability of approximately $ 1.3 million, $ 1.5 million and $ 1.2 million reserved for sales returns at April 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022 , respectively, included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The related sales return reserve products recovery asset included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $ 590,000 , $ 705,000 and $ 546,000 at April 29, 2023, January 28, 2023, and April 30, 2022, respectively. Deferred e-commerce revenue —The Company recognizes revenue at the time of sale of merchandise to customers in its stores. E-commerce revenue is recorded at the estimated time of delivery to the customer. If the Company receives payment before completion of its customer obligations, the revenue is deferred until the customer takes possession of the merchandise and the sale is complete. Deferred revenue related to e-commerce orders that have been shipped but not estimated to be received by customers included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $ 1.2 million, $ 0.7 million and $ 0.9 million at April 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022 , respectively. The related contract assets, reflected in inventory on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled approximately $ 584,000 , $ 359,000 and $ 422,000 at April 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively. Gift cards — Gift card sales are recognized as revenue when tendered for payment. While the Company honors all gift cards presented for payment, the Company determines the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain gift card balances due to long periods of inactivity. The Company uses the redemption recognition method to account for breakage for unused gift card amounts where breakage is recognized as gift cards are redeemed for the purchase of goods based upon a historical breakage rate. In these circumstances, to the extent the Company determines there is no requirement for remitting unredeemed card balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, such amounts are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of net sales. The table below sets forth selected gift card liability information (in thousands) for the periods indicated: April 29, 2023 January 28, 2023 April 30, 2022 Gift card liability, net of estimated breakage (included in accrued expenses) $ 12,444 $ 14,077 $ 14,015 The table below sets forth selected gift card breakage and redemption information (in thousands) for the periods indicated: 13-Week Period Ended April 29, 2023 April 30, 2022 Gift card breakage revenue (included in net sales) $ 1,031 $ 202 Gift card redemptions recognized in the current period related to amounts included in the gift card contract liability balance as of the prior period 1,701 1,940 Customer loyalty program — The Company has a loyalty program called the K-club that allows members to receive points based on qualifying purchases that are converted into certificates that may be redeemed on future purchases. This customer option is a material right and, accordingly, represents a separate performance obligation to the customer. The related loyalty program deferred revenue included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $ 1.0 million, $ 1.2 million and $ 1.2 million at April 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 3 – Income Taxes For the 13-week periods ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022 , the Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $ 1.4 million, or ( 12.7 )% of the loss before income taxes, and a benefit of $ 3.3 million, or 29.7 % of the loss before income taxes, respectively. The change in income taxes for the 13-week period ended April 29, 2023, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to valuation allowance adjustments and state income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities using estimated future tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities, including net operating loss carry forwards. Management assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers the probability of future taxable income and our historical profitability, among other factors, in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. Adjustments could be required in the future if the Company estimates that the amount of deferred tax assets to be realized is more than the net amount recorded. Any change in the valuation allowance could have the effect of increasing or decreasing the income tax provision in the statement of operations based on the nature of the deferred tax asset deemed realizable in the period in which such determination is made. As of April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022 , the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

(Loss) Earnings Per Share

(Loss) Earnings Per Share	3 Months Ended
	Apr. 29, 2023
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
(Loss) Earnings Per Share	Note 4 – Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock equivalents outstanding during the applicable periods using the treasury stock method. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options to purchase stock were exercised into common stock and if outstanding grants of restricted stock were vested. Stock options and restricted stock units that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, because to do so would have been antidilutive, were approximately 601,000 shares and 789,000 shares for the 13-week periods ended April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022 , respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The revolving line of credit approximates fair value due to the one, three or six-month interest terms. The Company also has a non-depleting collateral trust with the Company’s workers’ compensation and general liability insurance provider named as beneficiary. The assets in this trust are invested in financial instruments that would fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, and they are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including the evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment using Company-specific assumptions, including forecasts of projected financial information that would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses market participant rents (Level 2 input) to calculate the fair value of right-of-use assets and discounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group using a discount rate that approximates the cost of capital of a market participant (Level 2 input) to quantify fair value for other long-lived assets.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies The Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in April 2017 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, Gennock v. Kirkland’s, Inc. The complaint alleged that the Company, in violation of federal law, published more than the last five digits of a credit or debit card number on customers’ receipts and sought statutory and punitive damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 21, 2019, the District Court dismissed the matter and ruled that the Plaintiffs did not have standing based on the Third Circuit’s recent decision in Kamal v. J. Crew Group, Inc., 918 F.3d 102 (3d. Cir. 2019). Following the dismissal in federal court, on October 25, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a Praecipe to Transfer the case to Pennsylvania state court, and on August 20, 2020, the court ruled that the plaintiffs have standing. The Company appealed that ruling, and on April 27, 2022, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania granted the Company’s petition for permission to appeal. On May 16, 2023, the Superior Court of Pennsylvania ruled that plaintiffs lacked standing under Pennsylvania law and dismissed plaintiffs’ complaint. The Company continues to believe that the case is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend itself in the event the Pennsylvania Supreme Court takes the case on appeal. The matter is covered by insurance, and the Company does not believe that the case will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows. The Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in May 2018 in the Superior Court of California, Miles v. Kirkland’s Stores, Inc. The case has been removed to United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges, on behalf of Miles and all other hourly Kirkland’s employees in California, various wage and hour violations and seeks unpaid wages, statutory and civil penalties, monetary damages and injunctive relief. Kirkland’s denies the material allegations in the complaint and believes that its employment policies are generally compliant with California law. On March 22, 2022, the District Court denied the plaintiff’s motion to certify in its entirety, and on May 26, 2022, the Ninth Circuit granted the plaintiff’s petition for permission to appeal. The Court has stayed the entire case pending the appeal. The Company continues to believe the case is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. The Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed on August 23, 2022 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Sicard v. Kirkland’s Stores, Inc. The complaint alleges, on behalf of Sicard and all other hourly store employees based in New York, that Kirkland’s violated New York Labor Law Section 191 by failing to pay him and the putative class members their wages within seven calendar days after the end of the week in which those wages were earned, rather paying wages on a bi-weekly basis. Plaintiff claims the putative class is entitled to recover from the Company the amount of their untimely paid wages as liquidated damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company believes the case is without merit and plans to file a motion to dismiss. The Company is also party to other pending legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. Although the outcome of such proceedings and claims cannot be determined with certainty, the Company’s management is of the opinion that it is unlikely that such proceedings and any claims in excess of insurance coverage will have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation The Company maintains equity incentive plans under which it may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or stock appreciation rights to employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of each grant. There have been no material changes in the assumptions used to compute compensation expense during the current year. The table below sets forth selected stock-based compensation information (in thousands, except share amounts) for the periods indicated: 13-Week Period Ended April 29, 2023 April 30, 2022 Stock-based compensation expense (included in compensation and benefits on the condensed consolidated statements of operations) $ 490 $ 548 Restricted stock units granted 301,780 240,400 Stock options granted 237,675 — During the 13-week period ended April 30, 2022 , the Company also granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) that are subject to the achievement of specified performance goals over a specified performance period. The performance metrics for the PSUs were earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) compared to target EBITDA and also included a relative shareholder return modifier. No shares were issued and no expense was recorded with respect to the PSUs granted in fiscal 2022, as the EBITDA performance condition was not probable of being achieved.

Treasury Stock Transactions [Abstract]
Share Repurchase Plan	Note 8 – Share Repurchase Plan On January 6, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan providing for the purchase in the aggregate of up to $ 30 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases of shares are made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made from time to time in the open market or by negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases are based on a variety of factors, including stock price, regulatory limitations and other market and economic factors.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Senior Credit Facility	Note 9 – Senior Credit Facility On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and lender. The 2023 Credit Agreement amended the previous Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) from a $ 75.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility to a $ 90.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The 2023 Credit Agreement contains substantially similar terms and conditions as the 2019 Credit Agreement including a swingline availability of $ 10.0 million, a $ 25.0 million incremental accordion feature and extended its maturity date to March 2028. Advances under the 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin ranging from 200 to 250 basis points with no SOFR floor. Upon the demonstration that the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than 1.0 to 1.0 on a trailing twelve-month basis, the interest rate permanently decreases on the 2023 Credit Agreement to SOFR plus a margin of 150 to 200 basis points. Advances under the 2019 Credit Agreement bore interest at an annual rate equal to SOFR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) through December 16, 2022, plus a margin ranging from 125 to 175 basis points with no SOFR or LIBOR floor. The fee paid to the lenders on the unused portion of the 2023 Credit Agreement is 25 basis points when usage is greater than 50% of the facility amount; otherwise, the fee on the unused portion is 37.5 basis points per annum. Under the 2019 Credit Agreement, the fee on the unused portion was 25 basis points per annum . Borrowings under the Credit Agreements are subject to certain conditions, and the Credit Agreements contain customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to make payments, a cross-default to certain other debt, breaches of covenants, breaches of representations and warranties, a change in control, certain monetary judgments and bankruptcy and certain events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Upon any such event of default, the principal amount of any unpaid loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreements may be declared immediately due and payable. The maximum availability under the Credit Agreements is limited by a borrowing base formula, which consists of a percentage of eligible inventory and eligible credit card receivables, less reserves. The Company is subject to a Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company pledged and granted to the administrative agent, for the benefit of itself and the secured parties specified therein, a lien on and security interest in all of the rights, title and interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets to secure the payment and performance of the obligations under the Credit Agreements. As of April 29, 2023 , the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the 2023 Credit Agreement. Under the 2023 Credit Agreement, there were $ 33.0 million in outstanding borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding with approximately $ 17.4 million available for borrowing as of April 29, 2023.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business — Kirkland’s, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a specialty retailer of home décor and furnishings in the United States operating 343 stores in 35 states as of April 29, 2023 , as well as an e-commerce website, www.kirklands.com, under the Kirkland’s Home brand.
Principles of consolidation	Principles of consolidation — The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Kirkland’s, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kirkland’s Stores, Inc., Kirkland’s DC, Inc., and Kirkland’s Texas, LLC. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and pursuant to the reporting and disclosure rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 4, 2023.
Fiscal year	Seasonality — The results of the Company’s operations for the 13-week period ended April 29, 2023 are not indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality factors. Fiscal year — The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31, resulting in years of either 52 or 53 weeks. Accordingly, fiscal 2023 represents the 53 weeks ending on February 3, 2024 and fiscal 2022 represents the 52 weeks ended on January 28, 2023
Use of estimates	Use of estimates — The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than those at fiscal year-end. Changes in estimates are recognized in the period when new information becomes available to management. Areas where the nature of the estimate makes it reasonably possible that actual results could materially differ from amounts estimated include, but are not limited to, impairment assessments on long-lived assets, inventory reserves, self-insurance reserves and deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
