neutral  ormiston: I don't really think you can sell features. Agree about selling ambience !

  -> I think you can sell features more easily than you can sell ambience! Decorative features are pretty vague, and I was simply hoping to spark off an idea in someone...

agree  Silvia Killian Özler: I think features fits just fine, considering the context.

decorative/ ambiance lighting


Explanation:
I'd hazard a guess it's (ambiance) lighting rather than ornaments. Otherwise ambiance points to home fragrance - does that seem feasible ?

decorative accessories


Explanation:
without pictures, this is general enough, I think, and tangible. Could include vases, lamps, prints, mirrors. Used as a category in many print and online catalogs.

Asker: Yes you are right this is not very helpful. There is only a list with no descriptions. It could possibly be decorative ornaments?
