Elevate Your Autumn Decor: How to Style Antique Gold Accents

1. Styling the Cornucopia

With its substantial size and textured, horn-of-plenty silhouette, this cast metal cornucopia serves as a dramatic centerpiece. Here are two distinct ways to style it: 

Tip 1: The Abundant Harvest Dining Centerpiece. Embrace classic autumn warmth by filling the generous opening with a lush blend of rich colors and organic textures. Spill deep purple grapes, dark figs, mini heirloom pumpkins and gourds out from the opening onto a rustic wooden tabletop or a crisp linen runner. Tuck in sprigs of dried eucalyptus, wheat, or golden dried hydrangeas deep inside the opening to create depth and soft texture against the solid brass-toned finish. 

Tip 2: The Modern & Moody Floral Horn. For a sleek, contemporary statement during dinner parties or gatherings, turn the cornucopia into an unexpected floral vessel. Place a low floral foam container or small water dish inside the opening. Arrange rich, dark blooms such as burgundy calla Lillies, dark roses, and cascading orchid stems so they flow outward. Drape velvet ribbons around the tail of the horn, letting them pool onto a marble console table or a sideboard alongside brass candlestick holders. 

2. Styling the Enchanted Animal Plant Sticks

These whimsical stakes instantly elevate your potted plants and floral arrangements with subtle, gilded detail. 

Tip 1: Layered Heights in Indoor Potted Gardens. Plant stakes are a fantastic tool for adding vertical interest to indoor houseplant collections. Nest defined stakes into planters of varying heights. Place the owl into a tall, upright plant to draw the eye upward. Use the squirrel and hedgehog stakes in lower, bushy potted plants. Group three planters together on a plant stand or entryway bench so the gold finish creates a cohesive, metallic thread throughout the greenery. 

Tip 2: Accent Stakes for Seasonal Wreaths & Table Garland

Don't limit plant sticks strictly to soil! Their slender metal stems make them ideal structural accents for woven decor. Weave the staked horizontally into a lush fall door wreath. Alternatively, lay a garland down the center of your mantle or dining table and tuck the sticks in among the foliage, letting the animals peek out naturally. Pair the gold accents with fairy lights nestled within the garland to catch the warm metallic sheen during evening gatherings.
