Linwood’s patriotic “London Calling” printed cotton from their “Checks and dogs and Rock ‘n Roll” collection
PT’s new Capital, First Class and Jack collections
Britannia blind by Sunflex
For the past couple of years we've seen a resurgence of patriotic British nostalgia influencing interior design. With a list of high profile cultural events like last year’s Royal Wedding, and the forthcoming Queen's Diamond Jubilee and London Olympics, there is set to be an even greater interest in all things British. We've already seen this reflected in high street retail, and designers are also reflecting this in their latest fabric collections as they begin to embrace the patriotic mood. Linwood have recently released a wonderful range of patriotically inspired fabrics using iconic British symbols as its inspiration. Prestigious Textiles have also released a range of fabrics with stylised British flags, stamps and London landmarks to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. And Sunflex have designed a “Britannia” roller blind fabric which would be guaranteed to make even the most hardened soul feel patriotic! The British nostalgia trend can also be seen in fabric collections which reflect a vintage English chintz style. Edinburgh Weavers have a wonderful range of florals in subtle pastel colours which would make beautiful bunting, tablecloths or cushions for an English summer tea party. We also love the red, white and blue picnic theme which is gaining increasing popularity for weddings and summer celebrations. As proud supporters of British products and local British craftspeople, we love this resurgence in celebrating the Best of British - long may it live!
