SPRING is still some way off but if you've just moved house or fancy more than a seasonal dust and clear-out, there's planning to be done.

In our mixed-up, post-modern culture there is a wealth of vintage designs that look great in a modern home and there are plenty of websites devoted to the subject.

A haven for lounge lizards can be found at Chemosphere (http:// www.chemosphere.co.uk) who specialise in 50s, 60s and 70s design furniture.

There's lots of interesting items to browse at www.fandango.uk.com which offers up a site featuring art, furniture, vases and lighting.

And it is time to adjust your kitsch resistance by dropping in to www.luna-online.co.uk

The homepage of this site features a Spacehopper and lava lamp icons but the crisp, clean design steers it away from Barbarella territory.

Luna specialises in furniture and collectibles for the home, ranging from the tasteful to what would appear to be throwaway items.

Some of the products on the site have featured in films, television and photo shoots and with fast download times and uncluttered design this is a site well worth browsing.

What all these sites show is just how interesting things from the past still are, and what is regarded as collectable today.
