An interior design friend of mine has discovered the perfect wallpaper for me to go with my British and NZ-inspired cushions: Cole & Son's Union Jack wallpaper panel designed by Vivienne Westwood.

Known for her use of iconic British imagery, the wallpaper was inspired by an antique flag recovered from a ship, reinterpreted with a weathered and sun-bleached look.

It is available in Australia through Radford Furnishings and while I have yet to see it in person and find out the cost (!), I think it could look really good on the back wall in the TV room. Here is a close-up of the paper which is made to look like real, worn fabric.

What do you think?
Wow Jane, that wallpaper is amazing! And I love your cushions. I found a seller on ebay who sells cushions with flags on them. They are similar to that wallpaper. If you're interested in taking a look just search flag cushions under the category "Home" and they should come up. The seller lives in the same small NZ town as my parents. Maybe I could save on postage next time I'm home for a visit,lol.
