Gruss said that it\u2019s a mistake to bring out finery when you\u2019re in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUses ceramic vases rather than glass,\u201d Gruss recommended. \u201cKeep your crystal in Manhattan and use terracotta, pitchers or crockery in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also recommend filling your winter home with country flowers like helleborus and natural leaves that might in other contexts be called weeds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake your own arrangement with those wild flowers,\u201d she said. \u201cThat way it doesn\u2019t look too formal like they belong in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_it_%E2%80%9Cpalettable%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Make it \u201cpalettable\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You may be on the beach, but when entertaining in the off-season, it\u2019s important to use a seasonal palette. Gruss recommended that Hamptonites switch up the colors in their homes, focusing on greens, rusts and yellows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing more beautiful than what nature has created,\u201d she said, noting that mosses and pumpkins are a great way to bring nature indoors.<\/p>\n<p>One trick to add some glamor to a fall or winter dining room is to buy roses in unusual shades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love to use roses, which you can buy year-round, and now come in some very unusual colors,\u201d said Gruss, who also uses hydrangeas that are in the process of changing from white to rust. \u201cI mix green roses with peachy orange roses. Or I do alternating round arrangements of all green or all terracotta. It\u2019s very dramatic.\u201d\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
