3. Perfect Pour
This simple pitcher brings European elegance to mealtimes with its design inspired by France’s picturesque countryside.

It’s ideal for serving everything from juice and water to iced tea and sangria, and it coordinates with a collection of Provençal dinnerware. Provençal Pitcher, $70, williams-sonoma.com

4. Cover Up
Transform your bedroom or a guest room into a perfectly pleasant and dreamy space with this fabulous floral quilt inspired by traditional block print techniques. The detailed design was originally hand carved on wood, then transferred and printed on cotton. The 100-percent cotton and batting makes it supremely soft and lightweight—perfect for layering. And, you can switch up the look with its reversible patterns. Bette Handcrafted Reversible Quilt, $229–$279, potterybarn.com

5. Walking on Sunshine
This rug brings a hint of sunshine to any room. The polypropylene rug features a faded, Persianinspired pattern in yellow hues for an heirloom look with classic style on your floors. Plus, the slim-profile half-inch pile height, is perfect for softening hardwood and tile floors without being a tripping hazard. Hand-curated by Kelly Clarkson. Baylee Performance Yellow/Ivory Rug, 6’7” x 9’6”, $168, wayfair.com

6. Towel Off
Add a slice of sunshine to your kitchen with these mix-and-match towels. Slender navy and white lines intersect in a windowpane plaid on the golden yellow dish towel. Add lemon-print or choose another colorway for contrast. Woven of pure organic cotton, the sunny yellow fabric is prewashed for extra softness. Fringes at either end finish the cloth with a touch of texture, and a hanging loop keeps the tea towel right where you need it for drying hands, dishes and countertops.
