We have talked about the rich heritage of Sanderson before, more often than not with the Dandelion Clocks design. But the company has other period papers on the market, including the Sanderson Fifi wallpaper range.

A 1950s design from a new 50s-inspired range from the company, the Fifi is available in three colour options, all featuring the same  illustrated design of 'bell shape' girls in colour block dresses repeated throughout. If you've got a midcentury or 50s-inspired home, it's just the thing.

Available at Wallpaper Direct, it sells for £29 per roll, with free samples available on request.

Bodum space age-style Bistro electric kettle

Bodum

Home appliances don't often come with a retro twist. Or if they do, it's usually one inspired by the 1930s. That's not the case with the Bodum Bistro electric kettle.

This particular design is inspired by the space age era of the 60s and 70s, right down to the bold orange colour – although you can opt for one of the other five colour options if it's a bit much.

Apart from that, it's a typical electric kettle, capable of holding around half a litre of water. Oh yes – it's in the sale too, priced right now at £17.85 online.

Chocolate Alarm Clock at Flatspot

Chocolate

No, we don't get the name either, but we like the look of this Chocolate Alarm Clock at Flatspot.

It's a classic alarm clock, the kind of clock that used to wake you up in days gone by, before the world discovered the 'joys' of radio DJs shouting at you at 7am.

If you prefer a loud bell to Chris Moyles, you'll find it here, as well as a bold red and black design, metallic legs and a sweeping seconds hand to go with the contrasting grey hands for the hour and minutes. £20 is the price.
