Larkin pine sideboard from Graham and Green

Posted on | Leave a comment

Larkin sideboard
This Larkin pine sideboard is part of Graham and Green's new spring collection. 

The sideboard has been designed to have a vintage look, with all those drawer handles giving it the look of an old plan chest. However, appearances in this case are deceptive and the sideboard is more suited to twenty-first century storage needs: the sideboard actually is made of just two drawers at the top with two large cupboards below with a central shelf. 

Not cheap but, if you like the look, the sideboard costs £875

Milton Storage Unit from Laura Ashley

Posted on | Leave a comment

Milton
If you associate Laura Ashley with country florals and shabby chic, this Milton storage unit will come as as a bit of a surprise. Rather than reflecting those two styles, this has got more of a mid-century look with a contemporary twist. 

The unit is made from solid oak and is divided into several compartments, including five drawers and two cupboards, creating plenty of space for storage as well as an unusual looking piece. The retro feel is enhanced by the olive and cream coloured doors to the cupboards and fronts to the drawer. 

Some serious storage and a fairly serious price tag attached too. The unit costs £900.

Müller’s design philosophy is to combine retro style with modern simplicity, and if the Mobile Line Trolley is anything to go by, we like the results.

This isn’t a hostess style trolley, but rather a storage solution on castors, which can be moved around your home as needed. With an overwhelming choice of over 200 colours, you can choose to play up the retro or the modern look of the piece. Most colour options cost £549, but if you want one of the pearl shade, it will cost an extra £51.

Heal’s City cupboard

Posted on | 1 Comment

 City small

At first you'd be forgiven for thinking Heal's City cupboard is simply inspired by mid-century looks. That influence is obvious, but this design is also described as 'a mixture of contemporary and retro styling', giving a twist to the look.

That's because while the doors are are made from cut walnut veneer and the feet are solid walnut, the actual cupboard is made from white lacquer. I'm not totally convinced by the combination (and think I would have preferred just a walnut cupboard) but, if you like this juxtaposition of looks, there's also an accompanying sideboard available. 

The City cupboard will set you back £1495.
