Walmart and Gap have once again joined forces to launch a new furniture collection. The brands first worked together in June 2021 to launch an exclusive home line, called Gap Home, that included a capsule collection of bedding styles at select Walmart stores.
The new collaboration between Walmart and Gap includes furniture, décor, tabletops, bedding and bath offerings. Gap Home Furniture, which will be priced from $49.88 – $629, will consist of more than 150 furniture items that boast "contemporary styles with Scandinavian, midcentury, and even modern nods."
The exclusive Walmart and Gap collaboration speaks the increased "nesting trend" as consumers continue to spend more time in their homes and focus on creating comfortable and stylish spaces.
