As usual there are many ways to achieve what you want and I have seen that
others have sent useful suggestions. Anyway I could not resist to present
the following, just because it looks like the whole Options mechanism is
there to do exactly what you want:

SetOptions[Plot, PlotStyle -> RGBColor[1, 0, 0], Ticks -> None]
Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}]
Plot[x^3, {x, 0, 1}]
Plot[x^4, {x, 0, 1}]

of course you might want to reset the options to their defaults, depending
on what follows. There is also a package in MathSource (BlockOptions) that
lets you temporarily SetOptions of symbols and does the cleanup
automatically, but I have never used it.
