Matching your pyjamas to your cushions is a thing, says this Canberra homewares label

Really love Canberra? There’s no better way to show off your hometown pride than decking out your digs with locally designed or themed homewares. Here are five ways to inject a serious dose of Canberra into your space:<h4><a href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/cariboodesign/works/42787780-now-you-see-the-tower?asc=u&amp;c=1223427-blueprints&amp;p=shower-curtain&amp;rel=carousel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Telstra Tower Shower Curtain</a></h4>For many who grew up in Canberra, the sight of the Telstra Tower always signified they were home. And you can now well and truly know you’re home with a view of the Telstra Tower in your own bathroom. Designed by CaribooDesign, the ‘Now you see the tower Shower Curtain’ features the tower in all her glory with a monochromatic colour palette that should suit any bathroom. You can also get the print as the matching bath mat or a throw pillow, blanket or wall tapestry.<h4><a href="https://bookshop.nla.gov.au/book/beautiful-bus-shelters-of-canberra-6-drink-coasters.do" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bus shelter Coasters</a></h4>Add a touch of Canberra to your coffee table and keep condensation rings at bay with this set of coasters by artist Trevor Dickinson featuring six of his bus shelter prints. He’s known for his artworks of Canberra’s unique bus shelters - he spent years photographing every single one - and you can also buy his prints in everything from wall art to stubby cooler and playing cards.<img alt="Fink_jug.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="585" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Fink_jug.width-800.png" width="800"><h4><a href="https://finkdesign.com/product/jug/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A F!nk Jug</a></h4>Originally commissioned as a limited release for the opening of a new Canberra restaurant, these days you’ll find the F!nk water jug on tables at eateries all across town (and around Australia). And you can enjoy this iconic bit of Canberra design in your own home, available in six colours. Not only does it look stylish on the bench, it pours beautifully.<img alt="canberrathrowpillow.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="800" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/canberrathrowpillow.width-800.jpg" width="800"><h4><a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/686001765/canberra-australia-city-street-map-throw?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=canberra+cushion&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-1&amp;organic_search_click=1&amp;col=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Canberra Street Map Throw Pillow</a></h4>It’s not until you get up close to this stylish throw pillow by Jurq Studio that you realise its intricate design is actually a map of the nation’s capital, showcasing the city in all her planned glory. Great for studying while you relax if you’re one of those people who still can’t quite figure out all those roundabouts.<img alt="ScottLeggoGallery.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="800" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/ScottLeggoGallery.width-800.jpg" width="800"><h4><a href="https://www.scottleggo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Canberra Landscape Print</a></h4>Canberra is undeniably a photogenic city, so why not bring a touch of the outdoors inside with a landscape print taking pride of place on your wall?
