The intricate patterns and vibrant colours of these traditional textiles are preserved, making each cushion a unique piece of art.

The perfect summer print: Andalusia

Frills and florals with Flora

Inspired by Botticelli's "Primavera," our Flora Block Print Cushion reflects the intricate details of Flora's dress that caught Birdie's eye in Florence as she viewed the artwork. Handcrafted in India, this linen cushion features a charming floral pattern, block printed on both sides and finished with a ruffled edging for added texture and elegance. The whimsical design adds a touch of vintage nostalgia, complementing bold geometric patterns like the Viale Block Print Cushion or our Square Woven Stripe Cushion.

When it comes to styling pattern on pattern make sure you don’t use too many small and intricate designs simultaneously, as this can lead to a visual overload and be a little too distracting. Layer patterns of different sizes and various textures to create a harmonious composition, and vary the type of print used too -  florals go hand in hand with geometrics for a contemporary twist.

Ensure you have a colour palette and keep to it, as this is the key to achieving a calm and concordant feel, even with a mixture of pattern and texture!
