I'm an interiors editor – these are the 5 design trends you should be shopping at Walmart right now
Keeping up with the trends can be tricky, but Walmart has made the job easier than ever. These are the styles to keep an eye on in 2024
The first half of 2024 has already seen some standout interior design trends, from rom-com-inspired to down-to-earth Western. Whether you prefer the academic look of bookshelf wealth, or crave something a bit more whimsical, the interior design world of today is chock-full of characterful style and colorful accents.
While we all love to scroll and admire, getting the best of the trends down at home can prove quite difficult. It often feels like you're being pulled in a million different directions, finding Nancy Meyers-inspired pieces in one place and retro furniture somewhere entirely different.
The good news? Walmart has made the search simple. Offering loads of chic pieces across the board, the site has been one of my go-tos as I hunt down the best decor deals. Plus, Walmart is having a massive sale this week – you won't want to miss out. Here, I've plucked out some of my favorites – and they all emulate the 2024 interior design trends you shouldn't miss.
Shop this year's biggest trends at Walmart
1. The Nancy Meyers aesthetic
Full of romance and nostalgia, the Nancy Meyers aesthetic has made quite the impression on interior design this year. Bringing subtle pattern and classic charm, it's the rom-com-inspired look you'll want to channel all summer and beyond. Luckily, Walmart has a stunning selection of swoon-worthy furniture and decor that fits the bill – these are some of my top picks.
Pastel stripes like these practically scream Nancy Meyers. Bringing a bit of color without going over the top, these curtains are the perfect mix of sophisticated and adorable – and they're on sale.
2. Whimsical decor
The whimsical decor trend is one of my favorites this year – it's bold colors and fun-forward design choices are refreshing after years of beige, minimalist spaces. This is a style that you can really have fun with, and expressing your personality is far from off limits. Here are some of Walmart's pieces that really suit the style, including one from the one and only Drew Barrymore.
This table lamp's playful shape is so much fun, and perfect for the whimsical decor look. Still elevated and sophisticated (as all Beautiful by Drew Barrymore products tend to be), it hits on one of the style's key tenets.
3. California casual
The California casual look is exactly how it sounds: coastal, laid-back, and oh-so-airy. It's a style I'm constantly trying to emulate in my own home, and Walmart has made it incredibly easy. With a wide range of wood furniture, calm yet colorful accents, and natural materials to choose from, Walmart is now where I turn for this serene style.
This rattan and glass coffee table is light, breezy, and cool – and a perfect finishing touch for a California casual living space. It's going straight on the wish list.
I've been seeing light fixtures like these everywhere I turn, and Walmart's got an incredible selection. I like the pared-back, natural look of these ones, and they look beautiful in a bright, airy kitchen.
Arched kitchen cabinets are trending this year, and they fit perfectly in with the California casual look – especially in this gorgeous wood tone.
4. Retro decor
Retro home decor is having quite the resurgence this year, with outdated looks from the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s coming back into style. Heading to the antique shops is the best way to get the retro look down, but if you're a bit intimidated to shop for vintage furniture and decorate with vintage furniture, look no further. Walmart's got you covered with the perfect items to pair with the real-deal vintage pieces you'll find elsewhere.

This table lamp is sleek, stylish, and oh-so-retro. The color palette is fit for the modern day, but the shape and style takes it back.
Mid-century modern interior design is classic, and will probably never go out of style. But this year, it's having a noteworthy moment. This armchair from Walmart gets the look down with ease – and the massive sale can't hurt.
A solid console table will take your living room design scheme far. I love this one for its bold color palette and classic look.
5. Nature-inspired style
Biophilic design, or an interior look inspired by nature, isn't a fleeting trend whatsoever, but interior designers and homeowners alike are loving it extra this year. Whether you've filled your home with house plants or simply want a nature-inspired refresh in the kitchen, look to Walmart for furniture and decor that takes cues from the great outdoors.
This adorable vase hits on a few of 2024's biggest decor trends. Its gorgeous color and rattan detailing makes it a clear winner in my books.
It's not too late to try out some of 2024's biggest design trends – far from it. Be sure to check out Walmart's summer sale, which has already begun this week, and you'll be channeling the hottest design looks of the season in no time.
