It’s Not the Cushions: What Actually Finishes a Room
In this episode of The Interior Lovers, Sam and Naomi unpack what finishing touches really mean - and why they’re so often misunderstood.
This isn’t about cushions and candles. It’s about the practical, often invisible decisions that make a home feel resolved: lighting levels, bulb choice, fixture heights, socket placement and cable management. The details designers notice instantly - and homeowners often live with for years.
From understanding lumens (not wattage) to tackling overlooked DIY jobs and visual clutter, Sam and Naomi share the small but powerful changes that elevate a space from nearly finished to genuinely complete.
If your room looks good but still doesn’t feel right, this episode might help you to understand why.
🎧 Listen now on - and catch up on 50 episodes of design chat, colour therapy, hot takes and real-life interiors talk.
