I Gave 4 Designers $50 to Spend on Fall Decor at Marshalls — Here’s What They Bought

Lighting can completely transform the mood of a space in ways that overhead lighting just can’t. “This striped LED table lamp feels modern and versatile, and the best part is it’s rechargeable so it doesn’t have any distracting cords or long wires to deal with,” Brown-Wellington says.

A cozy throw blanket is one of the easiest ways to refresh your space without breaking the bank. Brown-Wellington notes, “A faux fur throw instantly makes a sofa feel more inviting, but it also adds that touch of luxury that elevates the whole room.”

“I love walking into a space and being greeted by a beautiful scent,” Brown-Wellington says. This candle does the trick — it smells just as luxe as it looks.

“Capturing a fun photo from the summer and framing it is a family tradition we have,” the designer says — hence why she chose a fresh new frame as part of her fall haul. “This dark wooden [frame] is chic and perfectly sized.”

“LOVE this lamp for outdoors! It’s a steal at this price point and is conducive for spending time outdoors (even when it gets darker earlier),” says Button. It's perfect for enjoying cozy fall nights before it gets too chilly.

This candle instantly sets the fall mood with a classic warm apple spice scent. The amber glass and wood lid makes it feel cozy enough for fall, and chic enough to leave out year-round, too.

Don’t forget to decorate the kitchen! This pumpkin-shaped pot is perfect: “I love how it doubles as functional serveware while adding a subtle seasonal touch to the kitchen or dining table,” Jean says.

“This was my finishing touch,” the designer says of this timeless eucalyptus bouquet. “The preserved stems bring an organic, earthy vibe that feels perfect for fall, and the orange tone adds seasonal warmth without going overboard.”

“When the temps drop and the leaves start changing, even the smallest details deserve a fun seasonal upgrade!” Karman says. “This Pumpkin Spiced Hand Soap is a cozy blend of cinnamon bark, smoked vanilla, and warm amber that turns every rinse into a little autumn ritual.”

Fashionable and functional, these marble and brass salt and pepper shakers strike the perfect balance for those who crave seasonal touches without the clutter. “Consider them the jewelry of your fall table: practical, polished, and effortlessly chic,” says the designer.

This pumpkin-scented tortoiseshell candle smells like fall, but it’s chic enough to keep out all year long. “Like a classic tortoiseshell, it never feels out of season — but in autumn, it feels especially right,” Karman says.
