Simple Decor Ideas That Will Serve for Halloween, Harvest and Thanksgiving

The harvest, fall, and Halloween seasons are here, which means it’s time to redecorate your home and living spaces to match the mood. If you play your pumpkins right you can find some excellent yet simple decorations that will last across multiple seasons, up until Thanksgiving and maybe a little after. That way, you don’t have to redecorate anything until Christmas, but your home still looks fantastic! And if you’re worried about having a cliche look, there are ways around that!

Of course, it’s much better if those decorations are affordable and don’t break the bank! No one wants to spend all of their hard-earned money on simple decorative items that, let’s be honest, aren’t always all that functional. Walmart is one of the best places to go for Halloween gear that meet all of those requirements. They’re affordable, they’re high-quality, and there’s a huge selection to choose from! To make things a little easier, and in the spirit of the season, we harvested some awesome decor that you can place just about anywhere in your home to dress it up properly! You can check out all of our favorite selections below, or you can just sort through the fall-themed items yourself to see if there’s something you like better!

Best Wall-Mountable – Farmhouse Wood Wall Plaques Set

It would not be a farmhouse, harvest, or fall look without rustic farm doors somewhere in there. But rather than swap out all of the doors in your home, you can go with something a little smaller and easier to prepare. This two-pack includes mountable farmhouse door frames. They have a 34-inch height, with a 14.5-inch width, and 2-inch thickness. They even have decorative metal casters attached to make them look like authentic sliding doors. Unfortunately, no hanging hardware is included so make sure to grab some! This set is $74 at Walmart with free shipping in the rustic multi-color and distressed style. You can also choose different colors like black, brown, and gray, but the prices vary for those.

This unique wall design will make you rethink wallpaper
Wallpaper frames? An interesting concept to consider for your home

Wallpaper is becoming trendier in today’s home design, but some people aren’t ready to take the leap and wallpaper an entire room. This DIY project shows how you can add more visual appeal to a room using wallpaper ideas like creating individual "frames."
How to create this framed wallpaper look
@olivebranchcottage on Instagram shared a neat DIY wallpaper idea that she calls "wallpaper rectangles." This fun twist on adding traditional wallpaper to a room helps add visual appeal without being overwhelming. Here’s how she did it.

Pick your wallpaper
First, @olivebranchcottage suggests picking your wallpaper. In the nursery she designed, she opted for a black-and-white pattern depicting nature scenes.
Choose your trim
To create the "rectangles" on the wall, you’ll want to choose some wood trim. The creator chose some from The Home Depot.
Paint the trim the same color as the wall
Next, you’ll want to paint the trim the same color as the wall tone. This creates a greater sense of flow once you add the wallpaper.
Use painter’s tape to outline your design
@olivebranchcottage used painter’s tape to outline the design. This makes it easy to move pieces as needed and readjust until you find what is right for you. Also, she notes that the size and spacing of your rectangles are entirely up to personal preference. For the nursery, @olivebranchcottage placed the tape 5 inches from the ceiling and 5 inches from the baseboards.
Add your wallpaper
The creator suggests using a laser level to keep things even and straight as you place your wallpaper.
Cut your trim pieces
To cut your trim pieces, measure them to the same length as the painter’s tape you used for outlining. The Instagram creator says a 45-degree angle is best.
Use a nail gun to attach your trim pieces to the wall
Using a nail gun, attach your trim pieces to the wall. You should do this after you’ve laid your wallpaper. It’s OK if the wallpaper goes beyond the painter’s tape outline you created.
Cut the excess wallpaper
Once you attach your trim pieces to the wall, you can use an X-Acto knife to cut off the excess wallpaper. After you cut all the edges, you’ll have a stunning wallpaper design.
