Flamingo cushion from Habitat

Despite the frequent ostentatiously kitsch pieces we show you, every now and again it's good to be a little more subtle.

Take this charming Flamingo cushion from Habitat, for instance. Covered in dozens of our favourite pink feathered friends, so often the reserve of the more OTT kitsch, the cushion is an ideal way to bring a hint of the retro tropics to your living room without going completely overboard.
