Elevate Your Home with Walmart’s New Fall Home Decor & High-End Dupes
As the leaves begin to change and a crispness enters the air, thoughts often turn to transforming our living spaces into warm and inviting sanctuaries. The quest for stylish yet affordable decor is a common one, especially when aiming for that coveted high-end look without the hefty price tag. In the accompanying video, a delightful tour through Walmart reveals a treasure trove of new home decor items perfect for ushering in the fall and winter seasons, along with an impressive array of ‘dupes’ that mimic designer aesthetics.
This season, Walmart has stepped up its game, offering a diverse collection that caters to various tastes, from rustic charm to modern elegance. For those who appreciate interior design and enjoy finding “luxe looks for less,” these recent additions provide an excellent opportunity to update your home. The focus is placed on creating a cozy atmosphere with throws, pillows, and faux florals, all while keeping an eye out for those budget-friendly alternatives to popular, more expensive brands.
Seasonal Accents: Pumpkins, Garlands, and Wreaths for Autumnal Charm
Transitioning a home for the fall season often begins with subtle, thematic accents. Walmart’s current selection includes several pieces designed to evoke the spirit of autumn and Halloween.
1. Natural Pumpkin Pairings: A harmonious arrangement can be achieved with two distinct pumpkins, each priced at $9.86. The taller, slimmer option stands at 10 1/3 inches high, while its more stout counterpart measures 6 1/3 inches. Their staggering heights make for an ideal display when grouped together, with chevron detailing adding an artistic touch that is often difficult to replicate in woven designs. These pieces are intended to complement one another, creating a cohesive visual statement.
2. Versatile Pumpkin Tray: Priced at $7.97, a lightweight pumpkin tray is presented as a functional and stylish item. It is suggested that this tray could form a trio with the aforementioned pumpkins or serve a practical purpose during Halloween for distributing candy. Its stylish design ensures that it elevates even mundane tasks.
3. Elegant Garlands: Garlands are essential for adding texture and color to mantels, doorways, or tabletops. A light-colored garland, spanning 6 feet, is available for $6.92 and is noted for its ability to integrate seamlessly with other autumnal items. This color palette is currently very much in vogue, representing a significant bargain for its size. While some fluffing may be required, and personal picks could be added for fullness, its inherent beauty is undeniable. Additionally, a deep burgundy garland, priced at $9.86, is available. It is observed to possess a more purple hue in person than might be perceived online, indicating a potentially popular online item for Walmart.
4. Striking Wreath Options: Two distinct wreaths are highlighted, both measuring 2 feet wide, making them quite impactful in scale.
- Pampas Grass Look Wreath: Crafted from polyester, this wreath offers the popular pampas grass aesthetic, which is a boon for those with allergies. It features a unique pinky-mauve tone intermingled with beige, offering a modern twist on fall decor.
- Traditional Orange Wreath: This option embraces classic autumnal colors with traditional orange alongside natural tones. Priced at $27.78, it is considered a striking piece, though some adjustment of its components may be desired to achieve optimal fluffiness. The inclusion of unique “furry” accents further enhances its appeal.
5. Decorative Lantern: An 11-inch tall lantern, priced at $19.88, is designed to coordinate well with the traditional orange wreath. Its lush arrangement of faux leaves and stems means no candle is needed; it functions purely as a decorative item. The suggestion is made to acquire two for a symmetrical display, with the option of using a book to create staggered heights for visual interest.
Cozy Textiles: Pillows and Blankets for Enhanced Comfort
As temperatures drop, the desire for comfort and warmth in the home increases. Walmart offers an array of pillows and blankets that contribute significantly to a cozy atmosphere.
1. Boucle Accent Pillows: Classic boucle pillows, measuring 12 inches wide and 10 inches tall, are available for $12.82. The cream version is a timeless choice, while the chocolate brown represents a newer, equally appealing addition. These pillows are ideal as a small accent piece when styled with two larger pillows, providing depth and texture to a sofa or armchair.
2. Whimsical Halloween Pillow: A playful jack-o’-lantern shaped pillow, complete with batwings, is priced at $8.78. This item is described as having a “Pottery Barn-ish” quality, reminiscent of plush toys found in high-end stores. It is more petite than the boucle pillows, extending to 13 inches wide when its batwings are spread.
3. Designer-Sized Plaid Pillow: A 20×20 inch plaid pillow, priced at $17, is referred to as a “designer size” due to its generous dimensions. It showcases a beautiful blend of mocha brown, light sage, terracotta, and ochre colors, which are noted to combine harmoniously. This “rustic plaid” design is versatile enough for both contemporary and traditional homes, its aesthetic primarily dictated by its sophisticated color palette. The pillow includes both cover and insert, adding to its value.
4. Value-Packed Fur Pillows: A two-pack of tip-dyed fur pillows is offered for $19.98, representing an excellent deal. Fur pillows and blankets are identified as a highly effective means of introducing coziness during colder months. These particular pillows are noted for their durability, having been used regularly for several years.
5. A Collection of Cozy Blankets: A diverse selection of blankets is presented, each contributing to a warm home environment.
- Nordic-Patterned Beige Blanket: This Better Homes and Gardens blanket, priced at $18.64, features a pattern resembling a Nordic sweater. It is reversible, offering two distinct looks.
- Ruche Faux Fur Blanket: Also from Better Homes and Gardens, this popular item is available in multiple colors. It is noted that the in-store price, $19.50, is generally lower than its online counterpart. This blanket is a staple for adding luxurious softness.
- Assorted Fur Blankets: A selection of fur blankets, including a “green bubble” design and plain fur options, are uniformly priced at $23.88. The green version has been particularly well-received by past viewers.
- Knit Fall Blankets: Three understated knit blankets, each priced at $22.34, are available in fall colors. The terracotta and olive shades are preferred over a brighter orange, but all are considered appealing for a less overtly “furry” look.
- Plaid Blanket: A grayish-brown plaid blanket, typically $24, is available on sale in-store for $11. Its neutral tone ensures versatility.
- Faux Fur Snow Leopard Blanket: This thicker, heavier blanket, on sale for $14, offers an alternative fur texture, though it may be considered slightly less “in style” than other fur options.
Entertaining Essentials: Dinnerware & Decorative Accents with a High-End Look
Entertaining during the fall and holiday seasons often involves thematic dinnerware and unique decorative pieces that make a statement. Walmart provides several impressive dupes for popular Pottery Barn items.
1. Dancing Skeleton Appetizer Plates: A set of four appetizer plates, priced at $12.47, is noted to be highly similar to an older, collectible Pottery Barn design. While the Pottery Barn version depicted cocktails, Walmart’s features dancing skeletons, making them more family-friendly. These offer a fantastic opportunity to achieve a designer look for a fraction of the cost, especially compared to current Pottery Barn ghost appetizer plates which are on sale for around $36.
2. Skeleton and Coffin Platter: For $7.97, a platter featuring a skeleton and coffin theme is highlighted. Its glossy finish and detailed artwork are praised, making it a well-executed and affordably priced piece for Halloween entertaining.
3. Ghost Bowls: Walmart offers ghost bowls for approximately $12.90, which are strikingly similar to Pottery Barn’s version, currently on sale for $27. These classic Halloween figures have been a staple for Pottery Barn for years, and Walmart’s dupe provides a significant saving for a nearly identical look. Despite being a challenge to extract from the display, their quality and resemblance are evident.
4. Clay Jack-o’-lanterns: Popular Pottery Barn terracotta jack-o’-lanterns, often available only in small sizes, find a strong competitor at Walmart. The Walmart versions, described as “clay jack-o’-lantern tabletop fall decor,” are available in 9-inch and 13-inch heights for $24.96 each. The 13-inch version is noted to resemble a gourd. Options include an orangey terracotta, a black that appears gray, and a pure black, offering choices that rival the original’s popularity and availability of sizes.
5. Mango Wood/Walnut Pumpkin: An 8-inch tall decorative pumpkin, priced at $12.82, is described interchangeably as mango wood or walnut. Its darker brown hue aligns with current decor trends, making it an excellent choice for those who have moved away from blonde wood tones in their home. Its elegant appearance makes it a standout piece.
Faux Florals: Timeless Arrangements for Year-Round Beauty
Faux florals offer a low-maintenance way to bring color and life into a home, especially when curated to reflect seasonal changes. The video showcases new arrangements from Riddle A Home, a British company specializing in faux florals and vases.
1. Ribbed Glass Vase Arrangement: A new faux floral arrangement from Riddle A Home, available on Amazon for $49.96, comes pre-assembled in a ribbed glass vase. This elaborate arrangement, containing 100 pieces, is designed with fall colors, including burgundy, neutrals, pampas grass, and a butterscotch/orange-tinged beige. Crucially, it also incorporates black flowers, making it suitable for Halloween decor. These black elements can be removed after October 31st to extend its use through Thanksgiving. This piece is noted for its resemblance to a high-end Pottery Barn arrangement, offering a sophisticated look at a more accessible price point. Its height makes it suitable for countertops or dining tables.
2. Autumnal Kiku Stems: Also from Riddle A Home and available on Amazon for $31.90, these “autumnal version of Kiku stems” are described as mini mums in beautiful fall colors. The arrangement is thoughtfully bundled with a few eucalyptus stems, adding height and dimension. These bundles simplify the process of creating a visually appealing floral display, allowing home decorators to easily incorporate seasonal colors. They are presented as a beautiful and affordable way to celebrate the changing seasons indoors.
Beyond Decor: Furniture Finds and High-End Lookalikes
The video also extends its scope beyond smaller decor items to include furniture, highlighting significant savings on stylish pieces.
