Feathers once had two uses – they were either used to stuff pillows or transformed into boas. This year though, the humble feather is having its moment in the sun. Interior designers are taking inspiration from the natural world and feathers are featuring on everything from light shades to wallpaper prints. Don’t know which to choose? Don’t worry, we’ve selected the best products currently on sale.
