1. Shiny gold stools. They can be used as seats or side tables; they are small, mobile and easily stashed; and they fancy any space. Gold looks especially festive, feels rich in autumn and winter and has a sunshiny quality that makes it function in summertime to boot — what more can you request?

2. Amber glass vessels. Vintage or glass bottles with an amber hue seem amazing in a bright window, lined up on a mantel or perched on a console. Apparent apothecary jars are useful to have on hand also, but the wonderful thing about coloured glass containers is they look amazing even when empty. Of course, they seem splendid full of autumn leaves or flowers, also.

3. A faux-fur throw. It’s warm and cozy, making any seat or bed you throw it on seem incredibly luxurious. Spend enough to acquire a faux fur that feels really plush and has a natural-looking color; more affordable models will fall apart over time, but a great one will hold up for many years.

4. Colorful accent dishes. Construct a steady of solid-hued workhorse dishes in white, plus some in one or two accent colours so you can alter things up. A fantastic guideline is to stick with white dinner plates but bring in fun colours and patterns together with the serving pieces, bowls and salad and dessert plates.

Orange is a fantastic hue for all of autumn, from Halloween to Thanksgiving, while mint green and yellow work from spring through summer. Metallics work year-round but seem especially festive around the holidays.

5. Gleaming accessories. Silver and gold items are a natural alternative (see the glistening gold stools over), but the colors in between are more versatile — think shimmering bronze, platinum and rose gold.

These subtly shimmery hues fit in with autumn leaves and acorns, seem glamorous round the holidays and replicate the sheen of seashells in summertime. Try using a bunch of vases, candlesticks, bowls or trays.

6. Brand new artwork. Your home has a finite number of partitions, but does this mean you must limit yourself to the same artwork year-round? No way!

Pick up fresh artwork as you find it, without worrying if you currently have a place to hang it. At the start of every new season, it’s possible to just swap out art on a few walls to get an entirely different appearance.

7. A container that is tall for branches. Having a really tall cylinder vase on hand is vital for filling with colorful foliage in the autumn and budding branches in the spring, You may choose to pick up some of these — a shorter version, like the one displayed here, is ideal for a tabletop; a taller vessel can be put on the floor.

10. Small rugs. If you have basic natural-fiber rugs or neutral carpeting, one fantastic way to create a new appearance in the autumn is by layering your carpeting. A tiny Oriental rug or Moroccan-style wool rug instantly makes any space feel warmer and cozier, and goes with practically anything. Keep a couple wrapped up in the closet and bring them out when your feet feel like they can use a little additional TLC.
