1 Modern Room
Based in Bristol, this online store sells 20th-century furniture, lighting, objects and art, with a focus on British modernist and post-war designs. Think 1930s German plywood chairs, 1960s Danish teak tables, and a good mix of vintage lamps and lights.

3 Sister Stuff
Sister Stuff is a new partner brand for Perfect English Stuff, the popular online store run by Elizabeth Kemp. Where Perfect English Stuff embraces maximalism and a country-house aesthetic, Sister Stuff offers a more pared-back look. Stock will include mirrors, textiles, pottery, glass and paintings,
along with some smaller pieces of furniture.

6 Vintage Midcentury
This online store and Instagram account run from Seaford, East Sussex, has a good offering of classic mid-century pieces. Expect plenty of covetable vintage Ercol plus G-Plan dining chairs and beautiful extending dining tables. We love the 1960s Fred Lowen lounge chair upholstered in blue wool currently available.
