Vintage plate wallpaper by Studio Ditte

Plate wallpaper

Collector of vintage ceramics? This plate wallpaper by Studio Ditte is sure to appeal, as it's covered with images of antique porcelain plates. It's probably much easier to put up than trying to hang and arrange your own collection. 

The paper comes in rolls of six meters, with a pattern repeat of three metres. 

However, there's a designer price tag attached to this look as it costs £120 a roll.

Betty Boyns vintage inspired stationery

Betty boyns

Betty Boyns is a relatively new company creating vintage inspired stationery, perfect for putting the finishing touch to a gift. 

Based in Cornwall, their designs take their influence from 'retro lifestyles', such as in the Night Out wrapping paper shown above which illustrates a perfectly poised 50s style woman in a suitably period room. The Chin Chin and Cha Cha designs show scenes with a similar feel. They also produce some designs without people in them, including some retro floral patterns. 

At the moment, the range includes wrapping paper, cards and gift tags but will be later expanded to include fabrics. 

Prices start at 50p for a gift tag while the wrapping paper costs £1.50 for a sheet.
