You don’t need to cover every available surface in tiny pumpkins to make your home feel ready for fall. Walmart’s seasonal aisles are fully stocked for September, with plenty of affordable finds from Better Homes & Gardens, Mainstays, My Texas House, The Pioneer Woman, and Way To Celebrate.
And some of the best Walmart fall home finds aren’t particularly “fall” at all. Cozy plaid throws, olive pillows, rechargeable lamps, faux foliage, and neutral decorations can give a room an autumnal refresh without looking out of place the second Halloween is over.
Even better, most of these picks cost less than $30. From a $5 pumpkin candle to a stoneware baker you’ll actually use at Thanksgiving, here are 12 Walmart fall home finds worth snagging this September. Prices and availability may vary by location.
Better Homes & Gardens Green Glass Rechargeable Table Lamp
Price: About $17.97
This little lamp may be one of the smartest buys in Walmart’s fall collection because there’s no reason to pack it away when the season ends. The deep green glass base and oatmeal-colored shade feel appropriately autumnal, while the cordless, rechargeable design means you can put it on a dining table, bookshelf, kitchen counter, or anywhere else that could use a little extra glow. Walmart currently shows about 4.7 stars from more than 250 ratings, with more than 2,000 purchased in the past month.
Mainstays Cozy Chenille Throw in Sage Green Plaid
Price: About $11.88
An $12 throw is an easy way to make your couch feel ready for cooler weather without buying decor you’ll have to store three months from now. This 50-by-60-inch Mainstays throw combines sage green plaid with cozy chenille texture and is machine washable, making it considerably more practical than another decorative pumpkin. Shoppers have given it strong feedback for its softness, warmth, and easy washing.
Mainstays Olive Window Pane Throw Pillow
Price: About $11.94
If your current throw pillows are looking a little too summery, you don’t necessarily need to replace them with ones that say “Hello Fall.” This Mainstays pillow uses an olive green windowpane pattern that’s seasonal without being overly specific, so it can easily stick around after Thanksgiving. Walmart shows a roughly 4.8-star rating, and the pillow would pair particularly well with cream, rust, brown, or plaid accents.
My Texas House Forest Toile Pumpkin Pillow
Price: About $12.96
Here’s a pumpkin pillow for people who aren’t particularly interested in bright-orange pumpkin pillows. The small My Texas House version combines a pumpkin shape with rust-and-cream woodland toile for a much more subdued take on fall decor. At only about 6 inches, it’s best used as an accent on a chair, bench, shelf, or layered with larger sofa pillows. Walmart currently lists it with a 5-star rating, with hundreds purchased recently.
My Texas House Faux Maple Leaf Bundle
Price: About $19.96
Instead of replacing your favorite vase with something seasonal, fill it with these faux maple stems and call it a day. The roughly 20-inch yellow leaves add instant fall color, and unlike real branches, they’ll still be waiting for you when September rolls around next year. Walmart currently lists the bundle at around 4.8 stars. You can also separate the stems and scatter them among several smaller arrangements rather than keeping the entire bundle together.

My Texas House Hydrangea Wreath
Price: About $29.97
At around $30, this wreath is one of the bigger investments on our list, but it’s also substantial enough to do most of the decorating by itself. The 24-inch wreath combines cream, brown, and deep rust hydrangeas for a softer, more neutral alternative to the bright-orange leaves that dominate plenty of fall displays. Hang it on a front door, covered porch, wall, or over the mantel. More than 1,000 had been purchased in the past month when we checked Walmart’s listing.
Way To Celebrate Wooden Pumpkin With Metal Stem
Price: About $19.97
There are plenty of plastic pumpkins available for less, but this Way To Celebrate version looks like something you could reasonably bring back out year after year. The roughly 8-inch pumpkin is made from brown wood with a metal stem, giving it a rustic, natural appearance that works just as well for Thanksgiving as it does in September. Walmart currently shows a perfect 5-star rating from 11 reviews, including recent shoppers who praised its quality and versatility.
Way To Celebrate Small Woven Pumpkin
Price: About $7.97
At less than $10, this woven pumpkin is an easy way to fill an empty spot on a mantel, bookshelf, coffee table, or entryway display. Its natural texture makes it feel a little more substantial than some of the inexpensive seasonal decorations filling store shelves this time of year, and Walmart lists it at around 4.5 stars. Rather than buying a whole army of matching pumpkins, try mixing one into a display with candles, books, branches, or other decor you already own.

Better Homes & Gardens Farm Apple Pumpkin Candle
Price: About $4.78
You’d be hard-pressed to find an easier fall update for less than $5. This 5-ounce Better Homes & Gardens candle comes in a glass pumpkin-shaped jar, meaning the container doubles as seasonal decor while the Farm Apple Pumpkin fragrance makes your home smell appropriately autumnal. Walmart currently shows roughly 4.6 stars from around 200 ratings, along with strong recent sales. For under five bucks, it’s also our pick for the best inexpensive find on the list.
Way To Celebrate Pumpkin Stack Ceramic Mugs
Price: About $12.97 for four
These aren’t exactly subtle, but they are pretty clever. The set includes four pumpkin-face ceramic mugs that stack vertically on their included holder, turning your coffee mugs into Halloween decor when you’re not drinking from them. At about $13 for four, they’re also functional enough for coffee, hot chocolate, or cider rather than becoming another decoration that just takes up space. Walmart currently lists the set at around 4.9 stars from more than 50 ratings. Just keep in mind that this pick screams Halloween more than Thanksgiving.
The Pioneer Woman Pumpkin Stoneware Baker
Price: About $29.97
If you’re going to spend $30 on a decorative pumpkin, it might as well hold mashed potatoes. The Pioneer Woman’s 3-quart stoneware baker is shaped like a pumpkin and comes with a matching lid, but it’s designed for actual cooking and serving. Use it for casseroles, stuffing, potatoes, or fall desserts, then put it directly on the Thanksgiving table as part of the decor. Recent purchasers have praised both its appearance and usefulness, making this one of the easier seasonal splurges to justify.
My Texas House Rattan Decorative Vase
Price: About $19.97
Technically, there’s nothing particularly autumnal about a rattan vase — and that’s precisely why we like this one. The natural woven finish works beautifully with faux maple leaves, dried grasses, branches, or hydrangeas during fall, but you can swap out the arrangement and keep using the vase throughout the rest of the year. Walmart currently lists the 9-inch fall version at roughly 4.9 stars. Pairing a versatile vase with inexpensive seasonal stems can also be considerably cheaper than buying an entirely new centerpiece every few months.
The best Walmart fall home finds this September aren’t necessarily the decorations you’ll have to shove into a storage bin on November 1. A cozy plaid throw, warm rechargeable lamp, neutral pumpkin, or versatile vase can carry your home from the first hint of fall straight through Thanksgiving — and potentially stick around long after that.
