Whitby mug from Mini Moderns
If you found yourself lusting over Mini Moderns' 1950s-inspired Whitby wallpaper but not able to run to the cost of a roll, they've launched a few options featuring this stylish design that are more purse friendly, such as this Whitby mug.
Featuring a detail of the distinctive seacape design, this mug is only available in one shade – the lido colour, which also matches one of the wallpaper colourways. The mug offers a taster for their full range of Whitby porcelain which is meant to be coming soon to their shop – we'll let you know when it does. Real enthusiasts can meanwhile invest in either or all of a cushion, canvas bag or a tea towel that also features the design.
The mug costs £8.

Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss
We've shown you prints that are inspired by some great retro designs before. This Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss features one of our favourite – and one of the most popular – designs of recent time: Dandelion Clocks by Sanderson.
Laura is based in Amsterdam and has produced a simple A4-sized print that plays up the fifties looks of the design: if you can't quite afford the wallpaper, this is surely a nice compromise.
It's certainly a lot cheaper as the print costs just 12 euros.
