The living room goes retro

The design world’s obsession with all things Fifties (blame Mad Men) has finally reached our living rooms. Magnolia it ain’t…

Trade secret: Sanderson Fifties collection

Is retro still trending? Indeed it is. This new collection of prints, wallpapers, embroideries and velvets pays homage to the Fifties, and then some.

What’s it like? Combining original designs from the archive with vibrant patterns from contemporary artists inspired by the era, this collection is a delight – modern retro at its best. Mobiles wallpaper, £36 per roll (sanderson-uk.com).

The bargain: Macadam folding chair

Habitat’s Another Great Value Product range offers good design at an affordable price. We’re smitten with the cute Bobby desk lamps, at £15. But the true bargain has to be these collapsible Macadam chairs, at £10 each (habitat.co.uk).

The object: Rivulets quilt

Anthropologie’s new lookbook simply makes you want to shop. Bursting with hot colour and ethnic pattern against a woody, rustic backdrop, it’s hard to choose one thing that sums up its numerous delights. However, the Rivulets quilt is a very good place to start. Ruffled, red and romantic, it costs £148 (anthropologie.com).

Kitchen kit: Le Creuset Coastal Blue

New from Le Creuset is the Coastal Blue range, a seaside-coloured collection that hits just the right note for spring. As well as traditional casserole dishes, pots and pans, this launch includes mugs and jugs, spatulas and ramekins, and a charming whistling kettle. From £9.50, exclusively at John Lewis (johnlewis.com).

Outside edge: A-frame bench, £1,350, Jennifer Newman (jennifernewman.com).
