3 New York-based firm Lumifer has a range of smart modern furniture and glittering lighting to match. Helix is a collection of orbs: this version features the palest of rose pink globes to give a soft, warm and altogether inviting glow to a bedroom and will make skin look warm and alive. Even unlit the bulbs add a smart but subtle interest to the room. This six-bulb design, 180cm long, costs about €5,104 but the design is customisable to any length.

4 The Alvar bed looks more like a sofa than a place to sleep, so will work really well in a guest room that needs to double as a study.

Pictured here as a single bed, it can also be ordered as a double and prices start from €4,667 at Baldoyle-based Lomi Design.
