The basis of this look has been created with the help of Cath Kidston - a Fifties fanatic who now distributes her range of fabrics and accessories worldwide. Wyn and Linda are a talented duo, perfectly in tune with the look they set out to achieve, which is probably just as well, since successfully creating this style of interior is actually much harder than it looks! You must exercise discipline and restraint if you wish to avoid a jumbled mishmash that could easily appear completely OTT.

The whole look is kept light and airy with neutral walls and a clever choice of furniture , such as the transparent chair. Bright primary colours are accented in the decorative items creating a typical Fifties palette.

Some elements, such as the attractive and practical pigeon-hole shelving ( a similar one is available in Ikea) work well in any style of interior. Elaborate traditional pieces such as the ornate candelabra are carefully chosen to contrast with the simpler lines of the Fifties classics.

The large kitchen diner encourages social get-togethers with parties spilling out onto the attractive decked terrace and even the humble garden shed is transformed with a coat of quirky pastel paint!
