Give your store a new look. "Autumnize" your displays with a warm fall look and new products that complement the season. Select products that use materials like burlap and raffia; fall colors including oranges, browns, copper; feature themes such as homespun, rustic and traditional.
Stock up on Holiday / Everyday Lamp Shade Packages to give your customers a simple seasonal change with a year round style option.
