 Butterflies fabric We’re rather entranced by the Timorous Beasties butterflies design fabric.
Having spent some time recently in a butterfly house, with the most exotic colours and designs of butterflies, the butterflies on this fabric look amazingly realistic.
The colours stand out wonderfully and, even though there’s an enormous amount of detail on the background, with stems and branches weaving around, the butterflies don’t detract from this at all. We love the different butterfly sizes and colours, and the tiny ones that you almost miss.
 Butterfly fabric screen The fabric is lovely and looks brilliant used on this fabric covered screen.
Sadly it’s not cheap – it will set you back £120 per metre (ouch!), but for a very special project or treasured cushion, it would be ideal.
The butterflies printed linen fabric is available from Timorous Beasties.

Miss Print specialises in producing contemporary wall coverings, fabrics and other interior products and one of the designs we’re particularly fond is Saplings.
Their designs are hand drawn and take influence from nature, and that’s especially the case with Saplings, which is a characteristic leaf stem design.
 
The Saplings wallpaper is available in a choice of six different colours and it’s amazing how different each one of them looks – the deep turquoise blue and gold stem design is great for creating a bold, statement wall, whereas the sunflower yellow and white is quite retro in style. The pink and white wallpaper design has a playful feel to it and the metallic gold on white helps add a reflective and glam look to a room.
Whilst some of the papers are matt, others have a metallic or pearlescent finish, which helps add shine, texture and and interest to the wall.
Heal’s has the Saplings wallpaper range available, plus other MissPrint designs.
 
If you love the design, then there are also matching drum lampshades available too, in a classic slate grey or a uplifting sunflower yellow, both made from silk.

British contemporary designer, Lucy Gilchrist, has captured the charm of pink flamingos in this handmade cushion.
The cushion features a hand printed design on the front and a high quality coordinated fabric on the back (the backing fabrics vary, as do the finishing touches, which are either a bow or buttons) and the inside is filled with a duck feather pad.
It’s a great design and a lovely cushion to own. You can buy the flamingo cushion direct from Lucy for £30, or from Retro Roost.
The same flamingo design is also available as a jaunty print.
If you’ve got a soft spot for pink flamingos, then check out the table we featured previously!

 Contemporary cushion Cushions are one of the easiest ways of updating the look of a sofa, chair or bed and we’re constantly on the lookout for new designs.
This cushion design – Among The Trees – from textiles company Kitty McCall (run by London-based print designer, Catherine Nice) is buzzing with colour and energy. It has a fresh and contemporary feel to it and is unlike any other cushion design we’ve featured before.
The printed design is, “inspired by layered patterning created while drawing with no fixed starting point or end,” and each cushion is unique.
At £69, Among the Trees is not a cheap cushion, but it is unusual and there’s plenty of depth and interest to keep drawing your eyes back to it.

 1950s inspired design Like their popular Dandelion Clocks range of soft furnishings and homeware products, the Perpetua design is another of Sanderson’s prints that is influenced by retro 1950s designs.
The inspiration for Perpetua came from a design found in the Sanderson archive, originally produced in 1953. It’s evolved into a simple but effective design that features stylised shapes representing flowerheads and solid and dotted lines forming stems.
The design and style successfully achieves a modern and contemporary look and works very well in interior design today.
The Perpetua cushion is available in two colourways from John Lewis, including this lovely purple cassis colour.
The Sanderson Perpetua cushion is priced at £35 and comes filled with a feather pad.

Bags are not part of our normal remit, but we couldn’t help falling for these canvas bags by Mini Moderns, not least as they feature some of the fab designs we’ve seen before on cushions and wallpaper.
The C-60 cassette tape design looked great on the cushion we blogged about previously, but it looks great on the bag too. Likewise, the Sitting Comfortably? chair design has featured on a cotton drill cushion, and the Town Canvas on wallpaper. It just goes to show how versatile some designs can be.
The Mini Moderns canvas bags cost £15 each and are available in a choice of designs, including C-60, Town Canvas and Sitting Comfortably?
