A far cry from the Mellow Yellow favoured by Donovan, this cushion is an arrested medley bright yellow (with a few other colours thrown in for good measure). 

The Seville Cushion by Michelle Mason is an eye-catching piece that is typical of the designer’s retro-influenced works, which also includes lampshades and teatowels.  The cushion uses unbleached cotton so is kind to the environment.

It can be bought online via Not on the High Street or visit Michelle Mason’s website for a list of other stockists.

We love the vintage cartoon designs on this Paper Doll melamine plate set.

Those designs are the work of Charles S. Anderson, printed onto heavy-duty 10-inch melamine plastic plates. The plates are made by the same company that manufactures plates for the US military (without these prints obviously), so you can be assured that they can withstand serious wear.

Available in limited quantities, you can buy a set for $40, which is around £20.

Following on from the Arcana Soap, let’s stay in the bathroom and draw your attention to the Kaleidescope Shower Curtain.

It can be difficult to maintain that retro vibe in your bathroom without veering into kitsch or tacky, so its been a while since we’ve featured a shower curtain but this shower one is pretty stylish (as shower curtains go, that is).

The op art black and white design is nicely finished off with an equally retro orange band across the bottom of the curtain.

It costs $33 (approximately £17) from Sprouthome.

Beauvamp specialises in re-vamping vintage furniture and home accessories. Particularly striking are what they are calling their Retro Funk Chairs.

An ordinary-looking old dinner chair has been given quite a make-over with purple paint and upholstered with vintage 1960s fabric.

They are being sold exclusively on Not on the High Street, priced at £175.

Alternatively, if you are feeling handy, you could be inspired to re-vamp an old chair yourself.
