Budding trees, warmer temps, longer days: The vibrant energy of spring is all about change. That goes for our homes, too! If you’re feeling the itch to switch things up — from giving your current decor style a dust-and-polish to trying out a whole new look — now’s the time.

Whether you want to go all out or just add a little springtime sparkle, head to Walmart. Their quality furniture and decor are on-trend and on budget, so you can set your space up for the season ahead no matter how much (or little) you want to spend. Here are some of our picks for updates big and small.

Just a Quick Refresh: Starting at $6.46

Like a crisp breeze through an open window, a few well-chosen updates can breathe fresh life into a space with hardly any effort (or budget). Layering in a new color does the trick nicely, as in the mauve shades of a fluted ceramic vase and comfy floor pillow (a clever way to add seating, too!). Mixing textures, like a gilded decorative leaf with a woven hyacinth reed serving tray, creates richer visual interest.

Let’s Change Things Up: Starting at $24.97

Did pondering smaller changes only inspire bigger ideas? Follow that energy! Larger swaps — like a two-shelf caning side table and a 6-foot faux olive tree — command attention right away. A new accent rug with fringe and florals instantly makes a space feel more cohesive. And a whimsical lamp, complete with a spring-inspired glass petal shade, shines a cheerful light on the whole scene.

A Total Redo: Starting at $78

Sometimes “spring cleaning” applies to our aesthetics, too. Statement furniture, like a sculptural boucle chaise and ottoman and a boldly hued bar cart, can help usher in a new style era. Updated storage — here, a wood buffet with caning detail and a sparkling gold bookcase — lets you show off books and decor in a brand new way.
