Shapes and patterns are brought bang up to date and you'll find that these cool retro accessories sit comfortably in the most contemporary of homes.

For this Fifties meets Noughties look, start with a minimalist backdrop of simple chrome, glass and white plastic furniture and accessories. Add colour with cutesy florals and polka dots, formica furniture in bright pastel ice cream shades, retro chrome kitchen electricals, curvy space-age furniture designs, bright plastics and accessories printed with classic icons of the era such as Doris Day, Elvis and Marilyn.

Then mix yourself a cocktail from your drinks bar, kick back and enjoy the view.
