The holidays are behind us, and January is the perfect time to reset your space. Walmart makes it easy to do it on a budget, whether you're organizing, replacing essentials, or just craving a small change in decor. Instead of heading to other retailers, check out the retail giant's home goods line-up.

You can save money at Walmart with these 13 finds, which start at just $5 and prove you don't have to spend big to make your home feel put together.

Get a protection plan on all your appliances

Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.

Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.

For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.

Mainstays Blackout Curtains

Price: $16.97

If your space feels bare now that the holiday decor has come down, these blackout curtains are an easy fix. The neutral colors work with any style, while the lining blocks winter drafts and early sunsets.

Shoppers often mention that they look more expensive than expected. "They are very elegant and shut the light from the outside," writes reviewer Ruth.

Nice Dream Dream Catcher

Price: $14.17

To add a boho touch to your decor, you only have to spend $14 on this wall hanging, which adds warmth and texture with woven details and subtle fairy lights. Consider it for your bedroom or a cozy reading corner during dark January nights.

It's an upgrade that easily mimics the look of the $399 macrame hanging wall art from Pottery Barn for a fraction of the price.

Nicetown Washable Rug

Price: $43.16

Perhaps holiday hosting was rough on your home last month, and your favorite rug didn't escape unscathed. January is the perfect time for a practical upgrade, and this soft, stain-resistant, and machine-washable rug is the ideal replacement.

Reviewers often rave about how easy it is to clean this five-by-eight-foot piece compared to traditional rugs.

Better Homes & Gardens Throw Blanket

Price: $19.97

A cozy throw is one of the easiest buys in January. This 50-by-72-inch blanket in neutral plaid adds warmth and a subtle pattern that transitions well into late winter and even early spring.

It's similar in color but more elegant than the Carmello plaid throw that costs $158 at Anthropologie.

Sterilite Weave Tower

Price: $29.98

It's January, and we have decluttering on our brains. Pick this three-drawer woven-look storage tower, which adds visual texture while hiding clutter in bathrooms, bedrooms, or entryways.

It's not just functional but is also able to "add a nice touch to the room with the weave design," in the words of reviewer Philip.

decorUhome Pillow Covers

Price: $9.99

Instead of replacing your pillows outright, these two faux fur covers swap your cheery holiday motif for timeless elegance. The plush texture adds warmth, which is perfect for January's colder days.

With seven sizes and 15 colors available, they're a versatile, budget-friendly winter refresh compared to the (single) faux fur ruched pillow cover that costs $59.50 at Pottery Barn.

DesignOvation Picture Frames

Price: $7.38

Did you make lots of memories during the holiday season? Print and display them with this three-pack of rounded black frames, which complement modern and traditional decor with their simple and timeless look.

They're "very good quality for the price and cute," according to reviewer Suzanne.

Libbey Floral Vase

Price: $4.97

A classic vase for less than $5? Yes, please. Although greenery is limited in January, you can always display dried flowers or faux stems to make your home more lived-in and cozy.

Nine inches tall, this vase features a paneled design, which adds interest without overpowering an end table or shelf. It's also a steal compared to the same-height glass vase tan from Target, which costs $19.99.

Mainstays Coir Doormat

Price: $9.96

Swapping out holiday doormats in January refreshes your entryway, preparing for the warmer seasons. This cheerful floral design is welcoming without feeling overly seasonal.

Reviewers say it's cute and "works great" at their front door.

Price: $11.28

If the holiday chaos left you with jewelry, keys, or loose change all over your entryway shelf, this marble trinket dish is a polished upgrade. It will help organize while looking more expensive than its $11 price tag.

In fact, it's on par with the $99 square quartz stone catchall from Pottery Barn.

DR.Planzen Artificial Palm Tree

Price: $38.49

Spaces can feel empty after the holidays, and this six-foot faux palm fills the room left by your Christmas tree beautifully. It adds greenery without maintenance, which is ideal for the winter months.

Shoppers can't get enough of its realistic look, going so far as to buy a second one, as reviewer Tessa notes, "because the price is so good."

Mainstays Scented Candle

Price: $5.97

While seasonal, this three-wick, 13-ounce candle delivers a cozy winter fragrance rather than holiday-specific notes, making it a great addition for January.

It has a strong scent throw and a great burn time for the price, especially compared to candles from premium brands like Goose Creek, which cost double.

Mainstays Wall Mirror

Price: $20.97

A new mirror is a smart choice in January because it brightens dark winter rooms and makes spaces feel larger. This simple black round mirror fits a variety of styles, from minimalist to classic.

It's not just a stylish and clean design, but also easy to install, as reviewers attest.

Bottom line

A new year doesn't require a full home overhaul. With a few smart, affordable upgrades, you can refresh your space while sticking to your budget, especially during January's post-holiday markdowns.

A smart way to save money at Walmart is to check both in-store clearance aisles and online "Rollback" sections. Many home items get discounted to make room for new seasonal inventory, and prices can vary between locations, so it's worth checking both for the best deal.
