The summer's big, pink trend: proof that 2016 is the year of the flamingo

By Anna Shelswell-White 10-05-2016

Flamingos are the new pineapples are the new pugs are the new...ah you get what we mean... these birds are cropping up all over the place. What was once seen as a pretty kitsch (dare we say, tacky?) motif, is now being introduced, tastefully, through wall decor, cushions and tableware (and a bit more obviously through candles and fairy lights for that fun summer garden party). Here are seven pieces you could nip out and buy right now...
