We all know that fashions come and go. Whether it be in clothes shops or home stores, we’re enticed by the latest designs, colour trends or product developments.

So why is it that some styles just won’t go away?

It seems that we just can’t help revisiting the by-gone days of what could be termed ‘old fashioned’, revamping, redesigning and putting a whole new spin on ‘design classics’ or favoured eras that have just as much presence in a contemporary space as they did thirty, forty or fifty years ago.

2011 in particular sees a shift towards a distinctly vintage vibe and here at Leekes home store we’re embracing it with open arms…Here are are top retro buys, perfect for adding a ‘on trend’ touch to any home – modern or traditional; city apartment or country cottage.

Mod-rocker
If your home is a white wonderland of ultra smooth surfaces, clean lines and sleek accessories, why not add a splash of real retro colour with this red table lamp, £30?

Floral fancy
Country cottages can be cool too, and with a plethora of vintage-chic accessories on the market there’s now more choice than ever. We adore this Rose wall clock, £15 – perfect for keeping good time in the kitchen, living room or hallway.

Sound bites
With modern technology advancing quicker than most of us can keep up, sometimes a good old favourite is all you need. This duck egg blue Retro Revival Roberts Radio, £149, is not only easily transportable – think vintage caravans or camping trips – but will add a stylish, decorative touch to any living space.

Chrome phone
Retro inspired phones have been on our design radar for a few years now but we adore this new chrome model, £60. Add it to a console table in your hallway or an eye-catching accessory in the living room.
