John Lewis is selling three cushions, each covered in a reissued Sanderson fabric that's been reproduced from designs held in their extensive archive. The light and fresh design of the Soaring Swallows cushion shown dates from the 1930s, while the other two cushions use the Tulips design from 1929 and the Rose Moss pattern from the 1950s – both floral designs that look typically 'Sanderson'. 

The Soaring Swallow cushion costs £35.

Go Go Retro wallpaper by Harlequin

Go Go Retro wallpaper

Harlequin's Go Go Retro wallpaper not only has a brilliant name but also is a charming design, ideal for a kids room.

The paper features line drawing illustrations of retro vehicles such as a Vespa, Camper Van and a Beetle. Hopefully it should inspire some good alternatives to the traditional children's ambition of being a train driver. The simple design means it shouldn't look too overwhelming in a room as well. 

The paper costs £25 a roll.

Rigby

We featured the dining furniture from the range yesterday, but while we were digging that out, we also noticed this similarly-styled Rigby sideboard at John Lewis.

It's new in at the store (in fact, it's actually on pre-order), once again inspired by midcentury Scandinavian design, supported by those splayed legs and constructed by in solid American oak that's veneered to create its distinctive look.

Plenty of storage within (see over the page for it open), with a price tag of £499 if you want one.

Maisie duvet set from John Lewis

Maisie duvet

It's got a design that looks like it's straight from the 70s but this Maisie duvet set from John Lewis is actually a contemporary design.

Certainly not the duvet to go for if you want a calm and neutral look in your bedroom, this design has a strong folk influence and uses birds, flowers and other trailing plants to create its distinctive pattern. The retro feel is enhanced by the blue and green against white colour scheme. 

The duvet cover costs between £35 to £65 depending on size while pillow cases are £15 to £18.
