Another Union Jack inspired design, this time courtesy of Liberty who have produced this Flower Power Union Jack cushion.

It’s part of their collection produced for their ‘Flower Power’ summer, part of the famous department store’s involvement in the Carnaby Street 1960 – 2010 celebrations. The Union Jack is made up using Liberty floral fabrics, giving a prettier look to the flag. You can also buy a square cushion in the same design.

The cushion costs £65.

Maisie duvet set from John Lewis

Maisie duvet

It's got a design that looks like it's straight from the 70s but this Maisie duvet set from John Lewis is actually a contemporary design.

Certainly not the duvet to go for if you want a calm and neutral look in your bedroom, this design has a strong folk influence and uses birds, flowers and other trailing plants to create its distinctive pattern. The retro feel is enhanced by the blue and green against white colour scheme. 

The duvet cover costs between £35 to £65 depending on size while pillow cases are £15 to £18.

Dupenny burlesque cushions

Burlesque-cushion-gigi

Do you remember Dupenny's burlesque wallpaper, featuring vintage-styled dancing beauties? Well, some of the girls from that paper get to star in their own right, with these burlesque cushions

Choose from three designs: Peaches, Ophelia or Gigi (who is shown). Each is hand-printed onto silk to create an opulent, boudoir feel, further enhanced by the red backing to the cushion. 

As well as being pretty, these ladies will also cost you a pretty penny, at £65 each. That's still cheaper than the original wallpaper though which costs £90 a roll.

Village cushion set

Village cushion

More folk art-inspired goodness with this Village cushion set. The cushions look great individually in an attractively retro yellow and grey colour scheme but also fit together to form the landscape of a village. While some cushions show trees, roads and houses, there are also smaller cushions which feature only show things like a dog or a bird.  

The cushions are the work of Rachael Cole, a Brooklyn based art director and illustrator. As they are handmade, they are quite pricey. A full village made of nine pillows costs $525 and individually they range from $145 for a large cushion down to $14 for the smaller animals.
