As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home with subtle yet colorful touches. The transition from winter to spring invites a brighter atmosphere, encouraging us to create a fun and inviting space. Start with the colors: consider adding soft pastel tones with throw pillows or blankets that evoke the hues of spring flowers in bloom. These small additions can instantly change the vibe of a room.
With his Walmart collection, Nigerian-American multidisciplinary artist Temi Coker didn’t set out to make decorations, but instead heirlooms that could be passed down for generations. “My children are the product of two cultures – African and African American. I wanted to create heirlooms that celebrate the beauty in that duality,” he said in a statement.
The collection ranges in price from $14 to $320, reflecting Walmart’s commitment to partnering with creators, providing customers with designs that reflect the communities it serves, and making beautifully designed home decor accessible to families at all price points.
“This collection honors the vibrant textiles, colors, and culture of my Nigerian childhood while embracing my wife’s African American heritage, creating pieces that speak to both identities,” he said. “The living room is the heart of our home, where the majority of our family memories happen, so I designed these pieces to live in that sacred space and be accessible to every family.”
Innovation brought these designs to life. Several vases are 3D-printed and made in the United States, allowing Coker to see his vision materialize in real time, adjusting and perfecting until each piece matches what he sees in his mind’s eye.
The collection’s vases carry particular meaning from textured surfaces to the intricate patterns of braids; they’re used as vessels that carry what matters forward. “Partnering with Walmart feels full circle; my first pair of shoes was from Walmart, and so many people in my community shop there – so being able to launch my first home collection with them is extremely special,” he said.
