For something so prominent in your bathroom, there’s not usually a lot of choice when it comes to finding decent-looking shower curtains. Tesco currently has a nice 60s-inspired one, but if you want a bit more choice, check out this range of retro shower curtains from Utilities.

The US-based retailer has 16 curtains, ranging from the stylishly retro to kitsch, including the four designs featured above. Sizes vary, so check the site for full details. Prices start at around $27 (£14). Check with the site for details of worldwide delivery.

These Transglass vases by Tord Boontje are the ultimate in retro as they actually recycle old wine and beer bottles to make them.

They also look good, with designs that remind me of 60s Scandinavian glass, so they would fit in perfectly with a retro room.

They’re made in Guatemala by a local artisan group – part of a Design With Conscience campaign that tries to use design to foster humanitarian and environmental causes around the world.

Different shapes and finishes of vases are available, ranging in price from £35 to £45.

After Christmas with all those new DVDs to watch, you might also be thinking about somewhere to store all the mess presents. How about this Loop leg TV unit from Dwell?

TV units are usually a bit dull and unstylish, but this one from Dwell has some styling reminiscent of Merrow Associates with its walnut veneer and stainless steel handles and loop legs.

As well as its good looks, it is also really practical as it has three drawers each of which holds approximately 84 DVDs or 126 CDs, so if one of your new year’s resolutions is to tidy your DVD and CD collection this may help you on your way. It is h47cm x w180cm x d60cm.

It comes assembled except for the legs and handles, and costs a very reasonable £395.

Sarah Kay and Andrea Stemmer have built up an impressive reputation as cabinet makers and interior designers, primarily for one-off and bespoke items. But now they’ve moved into retail in conjunction with Heals, with the first range available going under the name Flow.

The collection includes a desk, nesting tables, a bookcase and this 50s-style sideboard, which is made of walnut and oak and features a slide-opening front, along with the flowing curves that give the range its name.

Not cheap at £1,695 for the sideboard, but an incredibly stylish item for your 50s-styled home.

ILVA, the Danish home furnishing chain, has offered up some great retro design this year, including the modernist Casa lamp, the space age Funghi lamp and the Kobe ceiling light. And if you’re after a sofa, check out the company’s Padua range.

There’s three sofas in the range – a two-seater, three-seater and a corner unit/chaise longue. All use the same 70s-style design, using wood and leather – more specifically, palisander veneer and black leather.

A nice alternative to the Robin Day sofas from Habitat, prices start at £650. Check out the ILVA website for the location of your nearest store.
