7 Editor-Approved Walmart Decor Finds Under $40

Shopping editors, like myself, have different tastes and styles, but we have one thing in common: a love for decorating our homes—especially on a budget. While we’ve arguably seen and tried more home finds than the average person, this only adds to our expertise and high standards for seeking out pieces that will stand the test of time. That said, we would never steer you wrong.

Walmart—one of our favorite retailers—launched tons of new home decor pieces, and our editors shared what they have their eyes on (and in their virtual carts). Keep scrolling to shop their top picks, including woven trays, floating shelves, ceramic vases, bedding, and more starting at $9. 

Editor-Approved New Walmart Home Decor Arrivals

Home Decor Collection Scalloped Woven Decorative Tray

“I recently moved into a bigger apartment and am excited to furnish it. While I tried my best to repurpose furniture pieces I already owned, I want to make the new space more mature with fun decorative accents. This hyacinth woven tray is a must-have for my coffee table. Its size is just right for holding my TV remotes, magazines, coasters, and favorite candles. I’m also floored that it’s only $15.”

Chitooma Three-Pack Floating Wall Shelves

“As someone with more purses than my small New York City closet will allow, I’ve been interested in adding floating shelves to my walls to turn my room into a personal boutique. With this three-pack that’s only $25, it’ll be easy to achieve a presentable display that looks good in my room and offers more storage for my many purchases. They can hold up to 20 pounds and be attached to wood, drywall, and concrete walls.”

Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Fluted Ceramic Vase

“Winter can feel so drab and dull, even in my home, so I’ve been eyeing this fluted vase that Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful collection just dropped. I love its unique shape and design that’ll add color, interest, and texture to my space. I plan to fill it with my favorite small arrangements (both real and faux) to brighten up my living room or display it as a standalone accent piece.”

Better Homes & Gardens Walnut and Brushed Brass Touch Table Lamp

“I love my home to look and feel cozy, so I never turn on overhead lights—we are a lamps-only household. With that said, a few areas could use a warm glow, including my entryway and kitchen. This Better Homes & Gardens design will blend seamlessly with my midcentury modern aesthetic and is super easy to use thanks to its tappable base that turns it on and off.” 

— Bridget Degnan, Editor

Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Medium Decorative Wooden Box

“There are few things I hate more than small items like remote controls and keys lying around without a designated storage spot. This decorative wooden box will discreetly hide those unsightly items that ultimately end up on my coffee table. Aside from remote controls, it’ll also help keep trinkets, jewelry, and other small items organized instead of cluttering my space.”

Better Homes & Gardens Three-Piece Cozy Knit Comforter Set

“Maybe it’s cliché, but my bedroom is my sanctuary. When I think about how I want it to feel, the two words that come to mind are whimsical and cozy, and right now, I’m eyeing this teddy bear comforter from Better Homes & Gardens. The boucle-like fabric gives the neutral design a whimsical feel that adds texture to my space. Plus, it’s ultra-warm and soft according to shoppers. I picture myself curling up in it with a good book.”

Mainstays Bel Air Sheer Wide Single Curtain Panel

“I’m in the midst of redecorating my bedroom, and I realized I need curtains. I’m eyeing this sheer style, which is machine-washable and easy to install, according to shoppers. I still want the light to come through my windows, so these are the perfect solution for a bright space with privacy. I love their delicate design and can’t wait to add them to my bedroom.”
