Feeling groovy, baby

Your great-grandchildren are calling it mid-century modern, you think of it as the stuff you junked just as your own children headed for high school. How you view these pieces will give away how old you really feel. These are times when we need bright design and cheerful colour in our lives, so perhaps some paint or a piece or two?

But if Artex-stippled walls and woodchip wallpaper rear their ugly heads it is time to stage an intervention.

1. Trippy orange wallpaper nods back to the halcyon days of the 1960s and 1970s. www.madaboutmidcenturymodern.com

2. Instantly groovy: Louise Mead’s canvas print comes ready to hang in a range of sizes. www.louisemead.co.uk

3. The Jacob chair – the choice of Roger Moore 007 villains. www.theloungeco.com

4. Good, traditional design is always timeless, a merino wool throw. www.countrymouse.co.uk

5. Because you cannot do 60-70s revival without one: a purple and red aluminium lava lamp. www.redcandy.co.uk

6. The 70s in a cushion, complete with orange and pink pom-poms. www.sweetpeaandwillow.com

7. Oh wow, like you guys went to Marrakesh too? Far out! A statement piece from Mindthegap Furniture’s Woodstock collection would look good in any room. www.mindtheg.com
