Goblet of desire: Step up your breakfast – or any pause to refresh – with this glass “helianthus” goblet featuring a sunflower pattern. You’ll be planning your spring garden in no time. ($8 each, available in select Anthropologie stores)

Rugs rule: Area rugs are easy ways to add warmth to a room, from a child’s room to the laundry room.
