Cozy Accent Rugs

Change your underfoot for the cold-weather seasons with a simple swap of thicker, more durable doormats and throw rugs. For something more family friendly, stick with rugs that have a coarse texture to help mask wear and tear.

Vintage Charm

Put cherished heirlooms on display by grouping collected items together and adding seasonal flair with flowers, greenery or organic finds from your yard. This offers a chance to put a fresh spin on items that are used year round.

Potted Greenery

If you're looking to add a centerpiece to your table without the expense of cut floral, consider using potted greenery. This look can be formal by using more elegant ceramic pots, or more casual and classic by using basic terra-cotta containers.

Floor Hurricanes

Add ambiance to any corner with floor hurricane lamps. To keep the look balanced, group the lamps in alternating heights. We added mini faux pumpkin filler for extra texture and color.
