Luxurious lighting
Adding some ambient lighting is definitely a winner.
Bruna says, “Bundling your home with main light can be intrusive at the best of times, so incorporating lamps is a great way to add a calming atmosphere to a room.
“The floor lamps are very elegant and add a sophisticated element to the room.
“The tripod floor lamps are available from B&M, £55, and come in copper, black, matte black, chrome and silver.”

“It’s reversible, so you can enjoy the plush monochromatic tropical pattern on one side or flip it to the neutral side and create a more relaxing spa-style vibe.”
In terms of decorating a bed or sofa, you can’t go wrong with a pillow or throw.
Joanne says: ‘The B&M Tassel and Intricate Cushions, £8, are perfect for adding comfort and texture to beds and sofas and creating a beautiful, relaxed boho vibe.

“With the elaborate embellishment and pom-pom trim, it adds a bit of decadence, too.”
