Right Royal Obsession

After the festivities of the Royal wedding I am feeling two things; firstly rather flat now that it’s all over but secondly overflowing with pride to be British. Having never thought of myself as a true patriot I have recently found my eyes welling up at the mere mention of ‘God save the Queen’ while unintentionally my house seems to becoming more red white and blue by the second. So in tribute to the happy couple and my newfound Union Jack craze here are a few things available at the moment.

These Union Jack silk memento cushions from RE are inspired by vintage souvenire scarf’s. They are backed in contrasting silk tie fabric and are a bold British statement for any room.

There’s something about the royals that makes you want to bake whenever they do something good. The King’s choice biscuit tin from dotcomgifts has a fabulous vintage feel to it as if it’s been passed down generations of royal baking extravaganzas. Alternatively could just be used to store your shop bought digestives but it should definitely be bought out with any cup of English tea.

On the subject of tea, a mug is a brilliant way to get a bit of union jack in your house. There is nothing more quintessentially British than the cup of tea, what could be more perfect than Emma Bridgewater’s Union Jack mug to host said tea. It comes in various sizes and she also does a range of plates and bowls to match.

Now that summer is upon us it’s time for the bunting to reemerge. Pedlars are currently stocking a Union Jack bunting in a lovely faded blues and reds. The flags are all hand printed and made in London. A must have for this season.

Finally, for those who either love Britain or just adore the regal colours of the Union Jack then this Edwardian double drop end sofa covered in vintage flags (Blighty England) is perfect. It would look brilliant in a plain room as the focal point or in an old leather clad study surrounded by books.

Congratulations to William and Kate.
