Something a little different for the centre of our room – this retro Globe five-light pendant from Dwell.
Its a mix of brushed chrome and white glass, with the globes hanging off the chrome frame, each one able to be adjusted up or down for a different light effect. And as a bonus, all the bulbs are included to get you started.
Great for that 70s vibe, it retails for £89.

It might look like a classic piece of space age design, but the Bubble Table Lamp by Valerio Bottin is actually a contemporary classic from the year 2000.
The lamp has a chrome frame and base, with satin-finish polycarbonate diffuser, with light coming from six individual 40w incandescent bulbs. If you want a table lamp with real presence, this is it.
Available in a white or cream/yeloow finish, it retails for £442.
Smeg has colonised your kitchen, so it’s no surprise to see the company moving into the rest of your home with appliances like this Smeg 50s-style retro flueless gas fire.
Ideal if you’ve got that open plan living thing going on, the fire matches up with the rest of your appliances and with no chimney required, it can go pretty much anywhere. Flueless fires also convert 100% of gas to heat, which should help on the gas bill too.
They retail officially for £999, but we’ve seen them discounted down to £750.
The epitome of space age design – the Verner Panton Amoebe chair.
Originally produced for Verner Panton’s Visiona installation in 1970, this official reissue offers even more comfort with a flexible backrest – although even without it, you’d probably sink into this futuristic foam seat for hours.
Available in eight colours of Tonus 3 fabric (90% virgin wool, 10% helanca), you can order one online for £728.
Candles are very seasonal right now – although this Atari 2600 controller candle holder is unlikely to appear on your mum’s mantelpiece.
Shaped like the base iconic games controller from Atari’s must-have console of the early 80s, it holds your candle – which uncannily looks like the stick.
I’m not sure what this is made of – but with a price of £50, I sense ceramic rather than plastic.
Just because you’re grown up doesn’t mean you can’t still do child-like things such as colouring in. And when there are cool books like Creative Interiors on the market, it should be positively encouraged,
Creative Interiors is described as a journal and colouring book for grown-ups, with a pile of mid-century designs and interiors for you to colour in, along with sketch and grid paper for you to create your own classic.
Each book contains 12 colouring book pages, 25 grid pages and 25 blank sketch pages, all spiral bound with a board cover. And it’s yours for £14.
