Sideboards fell out of favour in the eighties when minimalism ruled design, but before then the sideboard was a feature of most homes, either in the lounge, dining room or hallway. Now the sideboard seems to be making something of a comeback, probably because people are realising it is an incredibly useful piece of furniture.

Purves & Purves have a whole range of sideboards by the Swedish designer, Rutger Anderson, the Twiggy Sideboards. Not only do these sideboards embody retro Scandinavian style, they are named after a 1960’s icon! Twiggy Sideboards are available in ivory or anthracite, and with a range of drawer and size options.

The one pictured here is the most expensive in the set, costing £435.

It takes a lot to make a bread bin anything other than ordinary, but this Typhoon mid-century bread bin is certainly a cut above.

Made of heavy gauge gloss enamelled steel, it also features a chrome wire handle, magnetic closure and non slip feet – not to mention plenty of room for your loaf.

Should look great in a retro-styled kitchen, it retails for £30.
