Olive Lucky Clover cushion by Maria Hatling

Posted on | Leave a comment

Olive lucky clover cushion
This Olive Lucky Clover cushion looks like a vintage fabric but in fact it's a contemporary design, just one from the collection of designer Maria Hatling.

Maria used to work as an in-house designer for Orla Kiely and you can see the same use of great retro patterns in her work, offering different colourways across her designs – this cushion is also available in pink for example. And it's not just cushions as you can also purchase prints and tea towels featuring her designs, all well worth an investigation. 

Made from a cotton and linen mix, the cushion costs £55.

Typewriter cushons
We've already featured Dwell's Bertoia-like wire chair, part of their new collection. There are accessories worthy of note for retro fans too, such as this vintage typewriter cushion. 

It's a very simple black and white design with the outline of the telephone displayed against faint, typewritten text. If you really want to celebrate vintage home accessories, there's also a similar cushion available that features the outline of a telephone. 

Available now, the cushion costs £24.95

Brie Harrison Vintage Rose cushion

Brie harrison cushions

For a funkier – though still retro – take on floral designs, take a look at the work of Brie Harrison, such as her Vintage Rose cushion. 

Harrison is a Suffolk-based print designer and illustrator. Here she takes the very traditional floral motif of the rose and depicts it in a manner reminiscent of 1940s/50s pattern designs. However, the overall look is given a contemporary twist by the fresh colours of the flowers which really stand out against the black background. Take a look also at her Folk flower cushion, a design with a more 1970s feel. 

Each design is available printed onto a linen or satin cover. Both come with a goose feather and down filling. For a cheaper option, the designs are also available on gift wrap and as cards. 

The cushions cost £55 each.

Karen Hilton Design Crowning Glory Cushion

300_black_pattern_crown 
We have previously featured her Queen and Target cushions, and the Crowning Glory Cushion by Karen Hilton Design is another design from her Pop Britannia range.

The cushion is available in numerous colourways, many using two contrasting bright colours, but my favourites are ones where the crown is made from vintage fabric, set against the felt cushion. Pictured here is the black version, with a simply black & white fabric, but there is a white cushion with pink roses crown, bright pink with green paisley crown or green with a red pattern crown.

The Crowning Glory cushion costs £39 from All Things Original.

Black Cabs cushion by Lizzie Allen

Lizzie allen cushion
We’ve written about Lizzie Allen‘s beautiful wallpapers many times before. For a more affordable way to buy a piece of her style, you may be interested in this Black Cabs cushion.

Like her wallpaper, the cushion textile is decorated with a 1950s-style illustration of a traditional British scene. In this case we are taken to the streets of a rainy London and, as well as the black cab of the title, there’s a red number 8 Routemaster going by.

Made from 100% cotton, though it’s more affordable than her wallpaper it’s still not cheap at £79.
