Bedroom scheme

Today on Design Files there was a Brisbane house featured and I was particualrly enamoured by this picture of the bedroom. There are so many things I love about this picture. I love the wood panelling, the industrial side table, the contrast of the black angel poise lamp, the glass hurricane candle holder, the woven carpet. I even love the old power sockets.

Union Jack cushions

I realise I am lagging behind in the craze for British inspired homewares - it started around the royal wedding! - but I hardly ever like anything when it is in fashion anyway. I came across two union jack cushions at Redcurrent recently and I thought they might be a great starting-off point for my spare bedroom scheme (it is just a coincidence that the people who use the bedroom regularly are British). I started looking for inspiration as to how others have used the statement cushions in their interiors and came across some cool schemes.
