It’s about time we start thinking about our spaces like we do our seasonal closet refreshes: adding a few pieces here and there can make existing items feel like new. Something as simple as a cool ceramic planter or a colorful glassware set can completely refresh your home when you’ve been staring at the same four walls for way too long. While furniture is a longer-term investment, smaller touches like glassware, linens, and other decorative objects can easily rotate in and out of your space as your mood and style continues to change. For me, crisp fall temps call for more time in the kitchen cooking and baking. I find myself just wanting to bundle up and stay home. That is probably why some of my favorite finds that I’ve listed here involve covering up. The list below includes great ideas to cover shelves, kitchen counters, mugs, and the dishwasher!
Thanks for reading about our favorite finds from across the internet! FYI: We participate in affiliate programs and may get a share of the revenue from your purchase.
Cotton Flannel Napkins That Are Cute And Washable
I don’t have to feel guilty anymore for using throwaway paper towels! These handmade unpaper towels are reusable and eco-friendly and come in several different designs. They are a great value at twelve towels to a bundle but there are so many cute prints that I can’t pick just one.
A Gorgeous table runner That Transcends The Seasons
The colors and print on this table runner are so bright and cheerful they just make me happy! I appreciate that I can use this table runner all year long if I want to because the floral print isn’t specific to one type of plant (no boring pumpkins here)! This table runner is made in the USA.
Get Ready For Marathon Meal Prep Sessions With This Anti Fatigue Mat
The worst part of cooking is having to stand at the kitchen sink washing dishes but this anti fatigue mat will make that chore more tolerable (if I can’t get someone else to do the dishes)! The mat is commercial grade with a non-slip bottom and an anti-curl edge like restaurants use but it comes in prettier colors. It is even described as being so comfortable that it is …”most likely made of marshmallows, sunshine, and cotton candy clouds.” Who wouldn’t love that?
I’m Replacing My Worn Out Oven Mitts With This 4-piece set
I can finally throw away those potholders with the burn marks and get a set of these easy to clean silicone oven mitts. They come with two oven mitts and two potholder trivets. They don’t absorb liquid so I don’t have to worry about scalding myself and getting a steam burn as I have with damp cotton potholders. With seven colors to chose from, these will brighten up any kitchen.
My Pumpkin Spice Latte Needs A Sweater
A mug sweater that is! Protect your hands while you enjoy your favorite piping hot beverage with this handcrafted mug cozy. Use the “Hello Pumpkin” button to fasten it around your mug before filling. The cozy fits best on an 11 oz mug but custom sizes are available. It is made of 100% acrylic yarn in the USA and is hand washable.
A Preserved Boxwood Wreath That Only Has to Be Watered Every 6 To 8 Weeks
My favorite thing about this boxwood wreath is that it brings the outdoors in. It is made of real boxwood stems and leaves, not plastic! I can hang it on the wall and add ribbon or other accents to change up the look on a whim. It can also be used as a centerpiece by itself or with pinecones, Christmas ornaments, or plastic Easter eggs depending on the season. A timeless classic, this wreath will last for years. Handmade in the USA.
The Geometric Design Of These Natural Wood Trivets Is Gorgeous
The way the light wood of the starburst design fits perfectly between the darker outer rings is so unique and one of the things I love about this set of trivets. Made of 100 percent natural beech wood, these trivets are non-toxic and organic. These hand-made trivets won’t crack. These look great propped against the backsplash when not in use.
Farmhouse, Rustic, And Vintage Designs Can All Be Satisfied By This Two Tiered Tray Stand
Wow! I have been looking for the perfect way to display my fresh fruits for a long time and this tray stand is the answer. Having two tiers will free up a lot of valuable counter space.

I Love The Texture These Woven Placemats Add To My Table
It was harder than I thought to find the right placemats to accentuate the repurposed dining table I just got. My search is over now that I found these woven placemats made of 100 percent water hyacinth. They are tightly woven and well sewn. These placemats are easy to clean and come in a set of 6. I can use them as hot pads under hot dishes or even wall decor. Yes, they are that nice!
Just Ask Adam How Tempting This Wall Clock With Apple Design Is
So adorable! This wall clock with the heart shape cut out of the apple is so cute. Fall is apple season after all and this clock is a fun way to add a pop of color to the wall. The clock is silent so there is no annoying ticking sound. It is battery-operated and comes with a two-year guarantee. This clock is available in about 50 different designs and can even be personalized with text added to the clock face if you chose.
Get A New Experience Each Month With Plant Therapy Essential Oils
I love to get something in the mail that is just for me and not a bill or junk mail. That is partly why this oil of the month subscription from Plant Therapy is so nice. The other part is that I get to enjoy brand new, exclusive essential oils before Plant Therapy even sells them. There is nothing like walking into your home and taking a deep breath of a clean, fresh, invigorating scent. This subscription is a great price at only $13 for the first box and then $15 after that.
Get Extra Cushion For Your Tushy With This Seat Cushion
My family is always complaining about how uncomfortable my kitchen island stools are to sit in. Memory foam seat cushions are the perfect solution to that problem! They come in such vibrant shades of blue, red, and brown that it is an easy way to give my kitchen a new pop of color. They also come in black or white. I appreciate that the cover easily zips off and is washable.
Get A New Viewpoint With New Kitchen Curtains
Considering the amount of time I spend at my kitchen sink, I should at least have some nice kitchen curtains to improve the view. These curtains come with two tiers and a valance so I can use them together or separately depending on the look I want to achieve. These 100 percent cotton curtains are machine washable and come in seven color/pattern varieties. I love the classic and timeless look of the neutral Striped Linen.
Fresh Herbs Will Liven Up Any Kitchen With This Winter Herbs Growing Kit
My rosemary did not survive the summer heat but I can start over with this winter indoor garden kit. It includes seeds for rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon basil, and jalapeno so I can make everything from stuffing (or dressing depending on where you are from) to guacamole. This kit comes with a grower’s guide and extra seeds in case I kill them the first time around.
Assuming I Don’t Kill My Plants, I Can Use This Unique Window Shelf To Display Them
I find winter to be so depressing with bare trees and brown grass. Luckily, I can use this veg ledge to display my kitchen herbs or plants and bring some green vegetation back into my life. I like that this ledge keeps the plants up and out of the way but still keeps them easily accessible. This shelf holds up to 10 pounds and can be used on smooth tile, mirrors, or windows.
Illuminating My Kitchen With This Bamboo Pendant Light
I love the open weave of this pendant light chandelier. It is handmade of bamboo and is environmentally friendly. The design is elegant and versatile. The hanging chain allows for the height to be adjusted during the easy installation and all mounting hardware is included.
Display Cookbooks Or Dishes With This Popular Triangle Wire Holder
My bookshelf is overflowing with my cookbook collection so I need another way to attractively display my cookbooks. I loved this triangle wire holder when I first saw it on Amazon and didn’t realize it is also popular on Instagram according to the product description. I love the rose gold color. The video promo suggested using it to display dishes which is definitely another great use for this item.
Honor Grandma’s Recipe With A Handwritten Engraved Serving Tray
My grandmother was famous for her apple cake and my family is lucky enough to have a copy of the recipe in my grandmother’s handwriting. I can’t wait to have her recipe engraved into this custom serving tray. These eco-friendly bamboo cutting boards can be used for slicing, chopping, and preparing food so they are not just decorative. The writing is charred into the wood and crafted by hand in the USA.
I Don’t Have To Pick Just One With Color Vibes Dinnerware
Gibson Home is a family-owned company that has been around for over 40 years because they know their stuff. This multicolor dinnerware set has such gorgeous colors! My favorite is the pretty, purply pink and I love how the circular pattern shows through. These plates are hand-painted, high-quality porcelain made from 100 percent natural minerals. Dishwasher and microwave safe.
I Love How Longlasting Huntington Home Candles Are
The Rosewater Sangria Candle is such a pretty shade of pink and smells so good. Huntington Home Soy Candles burn 45/60 hours and the aroma spreads throughout the house. These are the only candles I buy now! The candles are a great value without the pretentiousness of more pricey brands. Black Currant & Elderflower is another scent that is offered that smells good enough to eat. These candles will look and smell great burning on the kitchen counter.
I Can’t Decide If I Like This Nostalgia Microwave Better In Aqua Or Metallic Red
I never thought I would use “adorable” to describe a microwave until I saw this one! These are too cute and with over 2,000 reviews on Amazon, it is clear I am not alone in that opinion. The Nostalgia Retro 700-watt Microwave Oven is the perfect size to fit on any counter. Add “fun and flair” to your kitchen with this great little appliance.
The Coolest Knife Stand Ever
I fell in love with this knife stand the moment I saw it. I have never seen an acrylic stand like this. I especially like that the Home Hero 17 piece kitchen knife set is not in the traditional woodblock that everyone has. Maybe it is just me, but I always worry about what is in that slot my knife goes in. That is no longer an issue with this set and the pizza cutter is so cute too!
Kids Will Love To Help In The Kitchen With Colorful Umite Chef Kitchen Utencils
I always loved to get a new box of crayons and that is what this 15 piece silicone kitchen utensil set reminds me of! What a great way to add some fun to your kitchen. I can imagine kids arguing over who gets to stir with the pink spoon. These also come in sets of the same color like all blue, green, black, or khaki. It even comes in a gorgeous grey with pink gold handles!
All It Takes To Make Me Happy Are These Bamboo Dishclothes
Whiff Botanicals Bamboo Dish Cloths have everything I could ever want in a dishcloth! “They’re naturally antibacterial, antimicrobial, sustainable, odor-free, durable and absorbent”. Machine washable as needed and long-lasting. No wonder these clothes have so many 5 star reviews!
A Perfect Pillow Cover To Provide A Pop Of Fall Color For A Window Seat Or Bench
I love the Burnt Brick color of these Kevin Textile Pillow Cover Cases. They come in a set of two and are an inexpensive way to change up the look of any room. They’ll especially look great on a kitchen window seat or bench. The hidden zipper design makes it easy to slip these cases over the pillows I already have. They are machine wash and dry and come in several other colors like Barberry Red and Primrose Yellow.
Look, Mom, One Hand Is All It Takes With This SimplyTear Paper Towel Holder
A paper towel holder can be exciting if it is the Oxo Good Grips SimplyTear Standing Paper Towel Holder! I am so tired of trying to pull off one paper towel and half the roll comes off or trying to only use one hand because the other hand is covered with batter. This standing paper towel holder is the perfect solution! It holds any size paper towel and has a spring-activated arm and weighted, non-slip base to hold the roll in place.
19 Gorgeous Colors To Choose From In This Maxmill Jacquard Tablecloth
Nova Rust is my favorite color for fall, or maybe, Geo Chocolate. This tablecloth is so affordable I can get more than one. Another fab feature is that it resists wrinkles, requiring little or NO IRONING, is water-resistant and is spill-proof. Liquids just bead up on it making cleaning easy. It comes in several different sizes to accommodate almost any table size.
Bring Sunshine Into The Kitchen With This Yummy Yellow Toaster
I didn’t know I needed this iSiLER toaster until I learned that it can toast still frozen bread AND it can reheat already toasted bread without burning it. I hate getting a phone call just as I am sitting down to enjoy my perfectly toasted English muffin. Now I can just pop my muffin back in the toaster. This toaster even has seven shade settings for the perfect amount of toastiness every time!
No Gray Skies When I Look At This Rainbow Kitchen Mat
I hate winter and the dark, dreary days that come with it but all I have to do is look at this Ambesonne Rainbow Kitchen Mat to make me smile. It is perfect to put under a highchair or the pet’s dishes. This mat has an anti-slip backing and can be used anywhere. It is even machine washable! It does not fade and is made in the USA.
No New Chairs Needed With These Stylish Dining Chair Covers
I wanted new dining room chairs until I started pricing them. Luckily, I found these great dining chair covers. They come 6 per set and are an amazing price. They are easy to fit and anti-slip. The chair covers come in nine great colors but I love the classic Gray Arrow design. Since these are machine washable and tumble dry it is a no-brainer to upgrade your dining experience with this new look.
Bedazzled Jellyfish Hanging Air Succulent Plants Bring Glamour To The Kitchen
I love the beautiful, jeweled lines these jellyfish succulents hang from! They are hung from a mix of shells, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, and sea glass beads. The plants themselves remind me of an octopus and each one is unique. They are easy to care for and come with instructions; basically, they just have to be misted a few times a week.
Reclaimed Wood Makes Each Of These Rustic Planter Boxes Unique
This sturdy planters box is so versatile! It can be used as a centerpiece, on a windowsill, kitchen counter, or shelf. The boxes are hand-oiled which gives them a deep, rich look. The character of the vintage wood is captured by using washes instead of being covered by paint. These are available in three sizes and two finishes. A custom order is also an option that is available through the maker.
Finally, House Plants That Don’t Have To Be Watered
New art is one fun, inexpensive way to change up the look in the kitchen or dining area. This set of six watercolor art prints will brighten up my kitchen and provide a great burst of color. They are handmade in California and created with high-end linen matte paper with just the right amount of texture.
I Love The Movement Happiness Tree, Lucky Tree Embodies
The way the color of this painting transitions from blue to gold across the five panels creates such a dramatic effect. I can practically feel the breeze blowing across my face!

Create Instant Glam With RoseGold Metal Mosaic Smart Tile Stickers
Made of engineered wood, aluminum, stainless steel, glass, and metal, these peel and stick backsplash tiles are specially designed for use in kitchens. The design possibilities are limitless, making the space feel bigger and brighter. These are lightweight, easy to install, and can be directly applied to the wall. They also come in silver, but I love the contrast of the rose gold color.
I Have Wanted A Touch Activated Kitchen Faucet Forever
Hard to believe that a touch-activated kitchen faucet can be had for under $60, but I found this one on Amazon! The matte black finish is just what I wanted, and it even resists fingerprints when I do touch it. I love that I can use the back of my hand to gently touch the faucet to turn the water on. This is a great feature when handling raw meat to not contaminate the faucet. The sprayer even pulls out and has two settings.
No One Will BelieveThis Crystal Clear Set Is Plastic
No wonder these “glasses” have been featured in POPSUGAR, Buzzfeed, and Food & Wine! These TOSSWARE plastic, 100 percent BPA-free, drinking vessels have so many great features. They have a patented rounded rim for smooth drinking and they are STACKABLE! They have a “Pop’n Lock” system to securely snap on to each other so it is easy to carry multiple beverages at once! Great for when you have friends over to watch the game or just if you have a lot of kids.
Have A Spot Of Tea With This Belanko Whistling Tea Kettle
The pretty green shade and wood pattern handle set this tea kettle apart from my old, boring one. It comes in four other colors to choose from and the cream white one is nice too. The 3-liter capacity allows for approximately 12 cups to be prepared at once. The handle is so eye-catching and is insulated to prevent burns.
New Canisters With An Old World Look
I finally found a canister set that is big enough to be functional! This Old Dutch Canister Set includes quart sizes of 4, 2, 1.5, and 1.

The Fresh Seal Technology keeps the contents fresh and the lacquered finish resists tarnishing. I am thrilled to find these!
Over 22,000 Reviews And Counting For This Willow & Everett Salt And Pepper Set
It is so annoying when the pepper grinder is clogged and I can only get big clumps of pepper out. That will not be a problem with this salt and pepper grinder set which has the grinding mechanism on top of the grinder instead of the bottom. The knob on top allows the grind to be easily adjusted from fine to coarse. The stand makes it easy to keep both shakers together.
Perfect Centerpiece For People Who Can’t Even Keep Succulents Alive
The colorful succulents in this pumpkin centerpice look so real! The faux pumpkin centerpiece is a simple and subtle way to acknowledge the fall season. I prefer the white one but it does come in an orange version as well. This arrangement adds a nice focal point wherever it is placed be it on the kitchen table, counter, or in the formal dining room.
Yungala Vintage Glasses Will Keep Their Rosy Glow Even In The Dishwasher
The lovely pink color is part of the glass itself so the color can’t chip or peel off. Since this set of six vintage drinking glasses is made of pressed glass, it is more durable than blown glass. That means these glasses can be enjoyed every day. They look beautiful displayed on open shelving and are available as a short or tall tumbler.
Bring On The Baking With This Beautiful Blue Storm Mixing Bowl Set
The description on Amazon is right when it lists this set as “vintage style meets modern convenience”. The varying shades of blue go so perfectly together.

Season Like A Professional With This Salt Storage Box
I watch cooking shows all the time, and it seems like all the professionals keep their salt in a little container of some kind. I cook all the time, so I decided I needed this Totally Bamboo Salt Storage Box like the TV chefs. I use it every day and it is easier to get a “pinch” of salt out of this cute box than the container from the grocery store. I love it so much, I even gave some as gifts. The magnetic lock works great and keeps the lid closed to prevent spills.
If You Want A Quality Product, Make It Yourself With This Potholder Loom
I had one of these looms as a kid but lost it over the years so I had to buy a new one. Yes, I still make these as an adult because they make the absolute best potholders that last FOREVER. I can pick the colors I want to match my kitchen and it is a fun project to do with kids. I have even included these in gifts before. They are a fun, creative way to add some color to my kitchen and be a kid again.
Third Rock Countertop Compost Bin Keeps Kitchen Odor Free
The empty laundry detergent container I was using for my compost bucket detracted from the appeal of my kitchen. That is why I needed this cute compost bucket with a lid.

Replacement filters can be ordered separately.
Pull Out A New Look With These Glass Kitchen Cabinet Knobs

When I moved into my house the stove was stainless steel but the range hood was brown. Now, I finally have a range hood that matches the stove. The kitchen looks so much more cohesive and updated now. This range hood has over 1,600 reviews and is less than $80 so it is super affordable.
Finally, An Attractive Dish Drainer
I HATE to wash dishes but sometimes I have items I don’t want to put in the dishwasher. That is where this oval dish drying rack comes in handy. It is so much better than the average wire rack with the mat under it that gets grungy, YUCK. This rack keeps your counter clean and dry and has a very unique design.
No Wonder Corelle Is The Number One Best Seller in Dinner Plates on Amazon
I love the classic blue and white pattern of the Portofino Correlle dinner plates. It is so crisp, clean, and pretty enough to display. These dishes are tough enough to take a lot of abuse. I like to eat outside when I am home on the weekend. I recently dropped a Corelle plate on the concrete porch and it didn’t even chip! Another great thing about these dishes is that the look can be customized by ordering an entire set, just plates, bowls, or whatever is needed.
Maybe This Oil And Vinegar Cruet Set Will Inspire Me To Eat More Salads
I have always wanted a pretty cruet set! One of my favorite features of this one is the airtight leakproof flip caps. I don’t make an oil and vinegar dressing every day, so I appreciate that these bottles can be sealed when not in use. They can also be used to make any infusion that I can dream up.
A Kitchen Refresh Is As Simple And Inexpensive As Changing The Shelf Liner

Lucky Cat Bank Is The Cutest Conversation Starter In The Kitchen
I’m a cat lady, but even if I wasn’t I would think this cute ceramic lucky cat bank was adorable! I am tempted to adopt some of the other cats that are offered to join her. The cats are made of porcelain and the raised paws are said to bring the owner the best fortune. Lucky Cat can at least get the spare change in my pocket at the end of the day.
SleepySpoon Rest Definitely Doesn’t Lay Down On The Job
I have no idea why this brand is named SleepySpoon because this spoon rest with pot lid holder does a lot of work! The spoon rest holds my spoon while I cook, (five of them!) but it also holds the pot lid. It can also be used as a sponge holder or to hold my smartphone while I cook. Wait…that’s not all! It comes with a bonus Lid Lifter to help prevent pots from boiling over.
