The list – which includes a luxurious day bed, a forest green foot stool and outdoor sofa – all retails for less than AUD $500, but many of the items clock in at much less.
The most expensive item is a luxurious $499 day Breton-striped day bed:
‘Use this as a day bed in your living space with over-sized scattered cushions in a variety of colours for maximum impact,’ Ms Blomfield told Daily Mail Australia.
Elsewhere, you can also find a woven armchair with cushions for $399: ‘Add a decorative cushion to make this pop,’ Ms Blomfield suggested.

Speaking about her top tips for snapping up a bargain, Ms Blomfield said it pays to go with the classics.
‘Opt for more classic styles rather than funky on-trend designs,’ she said.
‘Classic styles will blend more easily into most home settings and won’t date as quickly.’
The expert also said ‘where possible you should opt for solid timber pieces as these are sturdier and will last longer than MDF or plastic’.
‘Pick relatively neutral pieces so you can add your own touch with soft furnishings – like cushions in bolder colours.’
