There’s plenty of wallpaper options around these days, but Jenny Wilkinson’s Wallpaper By Numbers offers something extra – you can colour it in yourself.
Yes, reminiscent of those felt tip poster art kits you had as a kid, there’s a range of designs available, which can all be painted in your choice of colour – using felt pens or emulsion paint.
The pineapple design is probably the best to go for if you’re after a 70s look, but check out the website for the full range. Prices on request.
This might look like an example of sixties seating, but this cow print swivel chair is actually a modern piece, but very much in the style of a vintage chair.
As the name suggests quirky chair does indeed swivel, thanks to the rotating chrome base. The cow print is something you’ll either love or hate. But wait – you don’t need to have it. Other covers are indeed available – including a particularly kitsch leopard print and a more toned-down plain red.
As it’s not a design classic, the price comes down considerably. You can pick this up for £232.

Many homes still go for the old-fashioned net curtain to keep nosey passers-by from staring in their homes. But sadly, net curtains aren’t cool and they get easily dirty. So here’s a contemporary alternative – Emma Jeffs adhesive window films.
They still do the same job – allowing light in, but keeping your privacy from the outside world. Just buy the adhesive, stick it on your window and you’re done. The film comes packaged in a roll of 100 x 120 cm and there’s some great and indeed retro designs to choose from.
You can buy online, prices are around £47 per roll.

Just because it’s an everyday item doesn’t mean it can’t look good – and as a case in point, check out this pop art dustpan.

Sadly there’s no matching brush to go with it. Available online, you can pick it up for $22 (around £11).
