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”) is a specialty retailer of home décor in the United States operating 360 stores in 35 states as of April 30, 2022, 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 March 25, 2022. Macroeconomic conditions — Economic disruption, inflation, uncertainty, volatility and the COVID-19 pandemic have affected the Company’s business operations. As a result, if these conditions persist and/or worsen, the Company’s accounting estimates and assumptions could be impacted in subsequent periods, and it is reasonably possible such changes could be significant. Seasonality — The results of the Company’s operations for the 13-week period ended April 30, 2022 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 2022 represents the 52 weeks ending on January 28, 2023 and fiscal 2021 represents the 52 weeks ended on January 29, 2022. 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 $1.2 million, $1.4 million and $1.6 million reserved for sales returns at April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and May 1, 2021, 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 $546,000, $697,000 and $709,000 at April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022, and May 1, 2021, 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 $0.9 million, $1.0 million and $1.5 million at April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and May 1, 2021, respectively. The related contract assets, reflected in inventory on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled approximately $ 422,000 , $ and $ at April 30, 2022 , January 29, 2022 and May 1, 2021 , 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 30, 2022 January 29, 2022 May 1, 2021 Gift card liability, net of estimated breakage (included in accrued expenses) $ 14,015 $ 14,761 $ 12,586 The table below sets forth selected gift card breakage and redemption information (in thousands) for the periods indicated: 13-Week Period Ended April 30, 2022 May 1, 2021 Gift card breakage revenue (included in net sales) $ 202 $ 216 Gift card redemptions recognized in the current period related to amounts included in the gift card contract liability balance as of the prior period 1,940 2,080 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 under ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The related loyalty program deferred revenue included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was approximately $1.2 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million at April 30, 2022, January 29, 2022 and May 1, 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 3 – Income Taxes For the 13-week periods ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $3.3 million, or 29.7% of the loss before income taxes and expense of approximately $330,000, or 16.1% of income before income taxes, respectively. The change in income taxes for the 13-week period ended April 30, 2022, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the loss before income taxes and the tax benefit related to stock compensation in the current year period. 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 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

(Loss) Earnings Per Share

(Loss) Earnings Per Share	3 Months Ended
	Apr. 30, 2022
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
(Loss) Earnings Per Share	Note 4 – (Loss) Earnings Per Share Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income 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) earnings 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) earnings per share, because to do so would have been antidilutive, were approximately 789,000 shares and 50,000 shares for the 13-week periods ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended

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, other current assets and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short maturities. 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. During the 13-week period ended May 1, 2021, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $310,000 for fixtures and equipment at two stores which is included within other operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. No impairment charge was recorded for the 13-week period ended April 30, 2022.

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. The Company continues to believe that the case is without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. 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 Company continues to believe the case is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. 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.

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 30, 2022 May 1, 2021 Stock-based compensation expense (included in compensation and benefits on the condensed consolidated statements of operations) $ 548 $ 232 Restricted stock units granted 240,400 119,663 During the 13-week periods ended April 30, 2022 and May 1, 2021, 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 are earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) compared to target EBITDA and also include a relative shareholder return modifier. The Company currently estimates that no shares will be issued with respect to the PSUs granted in fiscal 2021 or 2022.

Share Repurchase Plan	Note 8 – Share Repurchase Plan On December 3, 2020, September 2, 2021, and 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 $20 million, $20 million and $30 million, respectively, 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. The share repurchase plan does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company may terminate the repurchase plan at any time. As of April 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $26.3 million remaining under the current share repurchase plan.

Advances under the Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 125 to 175 basis points with no LIBOR floor, and the fee paid to the lender on the unused portion of the credit facility is 25 basis points per annum. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to certain conditions, and the Credit Agreement contains 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 Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. The maximum availability under the Credit Agreement 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 its lender. 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 Agreement. As of April 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, there were $35.0 million in outstanding borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding with approximately $40.0 million available for borrowing as of April 30, 2022.

New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	N ote 10 – New Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This guidance is in response to accounting concerns regarding contract modifications and hedge accounting because of impending rate reform associated with structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the LIBOR related to regulators in several jurisdictions around the world having undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The adoption of this guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. New Accounting Pronouncements See Note 10 – New Accounting Pronouncements in the condensed consolidated financial statements for accounting pronouncements not yet adopted.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business — Kirkland’s, Inc. (the “Company”) is a specialty retailer of home décor in the United States operating 360 stores in 35 states as of April 30, 2022, 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 March 25, 2022.
Macroeconomic conditions	Macroeconomic conditions — Economic disruption, inflation, uncertainty, volatility and the COVID-19 pandemic have affected the Company’s business operations. As a result, if these conditions persist and/or worsen, the Company’s accounting estimates and assumptions could be impacted in subsequent periods, and it is reasonably possible such changes could be significant.
Fiscal year	Seasonality — The results of the Company’s operations for the 13-week period ended April 30, 2022 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 2022 represents the 52 weeks ending on January 28, 2023 and fiscal 2021 represents the 52 weeks ended on January 29, 2022.
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.
