12 Stylish Walmart Outdoor Decor Pieces, Starting at Just $3

‘Tis the season for outdoor living. Morning coffee is all the more enjoyable outside, and so is eating lunch, reading a book, and hosting dinner parties. 

If your patio could use a refresh, it’s time to stock up on a few outdoor decor essentials. There’s no need to blow your budget on seasonal decorating, though. Instead, head to Walmart, the ultimate affordable one-stop-shop for everything, including patio and garden decor that looks far more expensive than their price tags.

Need proof? We’ve narrowed down a dozen fun outdoor finds from Walmart that cost as little as (get this!) $3.

Floral Coir Doormat

Still wiping your shoes on a Santa-themed doormat? It’s (way past time) to step into summer with this flower printed coir doormat. It’s seasonal and stylish but not too “look at me!” With a price tag of $10, it’s an easy add-to-cart decision.

Reversible Tropical Outdoor Pillow

Hello summer! Cheer up your outdoor space with this fun, affordable weather-resistant pillow. Think of it as a two-in-one pillow. One side features the charming “hello” embroidery on a natural-looking material, while the backside boasts a Palm Royale style with lush palm leaves and colorful flowers. It brings a touch of the topics to your patio furniture, no matter what the humidity level is where you live.

3-Piece Patio Bistro Set

A bistro set is the focal point of a petite outdoor space. It doesn’t have to set you back a paycheck though. Take this set, for instance. It features two chairs and one round table in a sleek fold-flat design with weather-resistant wicker rope that promises all-season durability. All that and it only costs $124.

Wavy Ceramic Planter

Layer an additional dose of green to your covered outdoor space with this wavy ceramic planter. It’s available in two sizes, 10 inches or 12 inches, as well as a white version too. Once the leaves start falling, move your plant baby indoors so you can enjoy this planter all year long. (Hint, hint: this would also make for an affordable housewarming or hostess gift.)

Solar Rattan Lantern

Even with summer’s late sunsets, having a few lanterns to illuminate your outdoor space is always a good idea. This woven bamboo design is entirely hands-off, as it charges in the sun, then automatically turns on at dusk. No need to store them come autumn either; these weatherproof lanterns can be used outdoors all year long.

Elevated Wooden Planter Box

Even if your outdoor space isn’t roomy enough for a full garden, you can maximize a patio of any size with this raised planter box. Grow your favorite flowers, vegetables, or herbs in this (on sale!) ergonomic design that stands 30 inches tall. Side hooks and a built-in storage shelf ensure this is truly the perfect petite garden bed. 

Foldable Round Side Table

Never forget: each entertaining space needs a convenient spot to set a drink. Whether that’s for your morning coffee or an “it’s 5:00 somewhere” beverage, this outdoor side table with an embossed floral design may be the perfect fit. Not only are its flower cut-outs cute, but they’re practical too, since they allow water to drain off to help prevent rust from developing.

Beach Umbrella with Sand Anchor

No ocean in sight? No worries. This thatched tiki umbrella brings the same feeling of fun, even if you couldn’t be further from a beach in the Bahamas. Instead, place this umbrella on your patio or deck. Its integrated sand anchor secures the umbrella, while its fabrics provide UPF 50+ protection for your skin.  

Hanging Basket Planter

Here’s proof hanging planter baskets don’t need to be boring. They don’t need to be expensive either. This honeycomb-patterned one, which comes in five colors, rings in at just $3.

Stationary Outdoor Wicker Egg Chair

For a statement piece on your patio, take a look at this stationary egg chair. It offers a deep seat, one worthy of cuddling up with a good book in, and removable cushions that are a breeze to clean. Perhaps the best thing about it? This chair is currently on sale.

Outdoor Rug with LED Strip Lights

An outdoor rug can be the key to tying together your entire outdoor entertaining space. This one features LED lights around the edges and a reversible design, so you can occasionally flip it over for a fresh look. No need to be precious with this quick-drying rug either. It’d be a low-maintenance purchase, since all you have to do is hose it off for a good-as-new clean. 

Jasmine Scented Outdoor Citronella Candle

Swatting at mosquitoes is no way to spend a summer evening. For just $6, this citronella candle does a lot of heavy lifting. First, it fills your outdoor space with the fresh scent of jasmine. Then it adds a warm, ambient glow. Finally—and most importantly—it repels mosquitos. After the 20 hours of burn time is up, you can repurpose the concrete-like vessel as a planter. Win/win/win.
