Letter Stamp Wall Hook, £9, from The Orchard

Keep things neat and tidy with these Letter Stamp Wall Hooks from The Orchard, £9.

I don’t know about you, but one of my New Year’s resolutions is definitely to be more organised and clutter-free.

Of course that’s top of my New Year’s resolutions most years, but I’m absolutely determined to make it past the first few weeks in 2013.

One thing I need to get sorted out pronto is my ever-growing collection of necklaces which at the moment are languishing in one of my dressing table drawers.

So I was delighted to come across these Letter Stamp Wall Hooks from The Orchard.

Made from vintage letter stamps, they have a generous hook which can be used for everything from coats in a hallway to towels in a bathroom or, in my case, jewellery.

Perfect for adding a touch of vintage chic, they’ll look great displayed in a cluster on a plain wall.

Cowhide Rug, £225, from London Cows

Keep cosy underfoot with this Cowhide Rug - CS66 from London Cows, £225.

For the first time in ages, I’m living with carpet again and I have to say, apart from the vacuuming (up there with washing up for me!), I am enjoying being cosier underfoot.

There’s something really comforting about padding around on carpet, especially in the colder months.

However, for all stone or wood flooring fans out there, investing in a good quality rug is well worth it.

Of course, there is an array of colours, designs and materials to choose from, but I am really rather taken with this Cowhide Rug from London Cows.

I love the subtle tones and distinctive yet understated markings, which make this rug ideal for both classic and contemporary schemes.

Now that Christmas has been and gone, it’s time to start thinking about sprucing up your garden.

I’m the first to admit that I’m not blessed in the green-fingered department, and prefer to leave growing things (and keeping them alive) to the other half.

However, I do love choosing accessories for the garden, and currently have my eye on these gorgeous Morocco Contemporary Hanging Baskets from Garden Beet.

Perfect for giving your garden a touch of exotic glamour, these elegant baskets will look fabulous hung alone or in a cluster.

Wildlife Dusk Plate Set, £17.50, from Design My World

Add some animal charm to your walls with this Wildlife Dusk Plate Set from Design My World, £17.50.

Animal motifs look set to continue to be a big trend in 2013 – from owls and rabbits to foxes and birds – everything from cushions to tableware has been given a touch of animal chic.

I particularly love this set of Wildlife Dusk Plates from Design My World, which has each of the four plates featuring a different wildlife animal.

Personally, I think these plates are far too pretty to eat from, but they would look fantastic in a group on a shelf or displayed on a plain wall in a kitchen or dining room.

Add some glamour to open-plan living with this Peek-a-Boo Studded Upholstered Dressing Screen from The French Bedroom Company, £485.

Open-plan living is more popular than ever before and, while it’s great to have light and airy rooms, this layout doesn’t lend itself to creating more intimate spaces.

This is where using a screen can come in handy, for example, in creating somewhere for an intimate dinner or providing an area for dressing.

There’s a whole range of screens and dividers to choose from here on Furnish, but my latest crush is this Peek-a-Boo Studded Upholstered Dressing Screen from the French Bedroom Company.

Daffodils and hyacinths are my absolute favourites and will look fabulous displayed in these LSA Globe Vases from Heal’s which are available in three sizes.

Stacking Shelves, £275, from Duffy London

Get your storage sorted with these Stacking Shelves from Duffy London, £275.

Having recently moved home, I’ve amazed myself how quickly everything has got sorted. Everything has a home… well apart from the 12 boxes of books that have got me completely stumped.

I’m keen not to over-dominate the living room with rows of shelves, but some of these treasured books just don’t deserve to be hidden away.

These Stacking Shelves from Duffy London seem to be top of the list when it comes to deciding how to have them on show.
