Creating bohemian opulence

How do you create opulence?

 

- Use patterned or textured fabrics / surfaces

 

- Layer fabrics!

 

Layering is probably the most important thing you can do to create grandeur. When putting a set together, you always need at least three times the amount of props you think you need.

Here I have used various Indian saris as a backdrop behind a cream net canopy, layered with huge lace drapes, (and a few more for the covers on the bed) a Persian rug on the floor, fabrics hanging out of drawers in the chest & layered with strings of pearls & other jewellery, lots of leaves, flowers and pampas grass, which always contributes to a luxurious bohemian setting..

Attention to detail is so important, from the colour & shape of candles, to lace doilies, incense smoke, curtain tassels and the precise positioning of cushions..

Then you invite all your Queens over and realise you needed to build a bigger tent!
